-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Yes but it is uncommon to use pointers in C++. C has pointers and its common but not C++. I'm guessing HL was made in C++ because the Quake engine was made in C++. C++ is such a high level lanuage, they a lot of developers dont practice any specific hardware code. But as i said, you do have to change some code. Then recompile it. You wouldn't spend months changing code.
