I just find it odd that you have some extremely weapon-specific members like m_flPumpTime in the weapon_data structure, but it seems like you can't add a new one if your weapon code calls for it. In my case I'm adding some data that has to do with some different reload handling that is used by a couple of different weapons.

[hlcoders] Extending weapon_data_t
I'm trying to add some information that I want to encode and send over to the client by storing it in the weapon_data_t structure. You know, that struct that holds stuff like m_iId, m_iClip, m_flTimeWeaponIdle, etc. and is sent over with the local_state struct. Well, if I try to do this, and add the entry to the delta.lst, I get something like this when I run: Couldn't find offset for !!! I did a bit of research, and rumor has it that I *can't* extend this struct at all. They're hardcoded into the engine somewhere. Thus why it couldn't find the offset in the structure - it uses a different one than what's in common/weaponinfo.h (or, rather, that one just shouldn't be changed). Is this the case?

Re: [hlcoders] Changing orientation of player model
> I think you could use pPlayer->pev->punchangle ( .x for upside and down, .y for horizontal) If I'm not mistaken, punchangle is only an offset to the view angle, so it won't change the orientation of the player model in space. Thanks for the suggestion, though. I've finally found (after a couple of days of searching) a spot where I can hard-code a change in the angle at which the model is rendered (in StudioModelRenderer.cpp), but I'm hoping there's an easier way. Trying to change pev->angles doesn't really do anything - the engine seems to be zeroing out changes to anything but the yaw. I'm hoping I'm missing something simple.
