That's a good explanation. Of course in my case what I'm sending

Unfortunately using the array of items is not possible here. As noted on http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Networking_Entities a single array of X items count X times towards the 1024 limit on the number of variables associated with a single entity. So if you wanted to send a manual

Well since no one else seemed to bother looking (and I actually got some time to look), the only thing the above function does is just fill in the passed in variant setting it as a string. Looking at the varient it supports an array of a base type (such as wchar/Int16, like you would use). Will

Well there is no SendBlob sort of function anywhere in the dt_send and various other networking files. It's not a huge deal, I just had to write my own base-128 encoder, so that there wouldn't be any 0s in the data that went over the wire. It just seems that Valve would want to support this
