does anyone here wanna tell me how to use source sdk from a c-programmers perspective ? i found the online docs unhelpful...also anyone got a c# wrapper ? you could compile everything shared as a 'dll' or other shared object style, then open that with c#, and you might need some compiler specific labels (i use free visual c# express 2010, gonna grab 2012 and win8 soon), or otherwise i like a nice clean simple wrapper if possible, perhaps geared towards uses....including a single player mod of counter-strike, perhaps with pickin maps or generating maps and doing a looping rpg style , start over on death, maybe pick 'contracts' like a hitman and upgrade your weapons, skills etc, possibly from the cs-source models and code as a base....but with pickin the bot hardness and initial placement...also options to go over bot code and/or replace with better different bots, woudl be nice i'm thinkuin of those old quake 'reaper' bots or other realistic ones, also with difficutly settings, adjustable loadouts and perhaps some models with and without armor , and programmatic variety (color etc) if possible, or even maybe one 'human' opponent with many models like armor with without, leg with without, etc , or even 10 of them loosly based on hitpoints so low-hp means u have a bloody damaged model, or see one, perhaps blood or red textured on to show hp....also maybe some options around partial mission success and retreat, including a retreat zone you can run to (perhaps off the 'edge' of the big map), also if source is having precision issues, i noticed it's detailed and mapsize limited, you could use the trick on my blog with the internal string/precise storage , then use the d3d render calls, for those u gotta convert precise to float, so at that time, note your x,y,z camera location, set camera = 0,0,0, then also subtract camera old x,y,z from all objects, do not save values after render all other internal code uses high precision.
