Hey everyone!

I've just learnt how C++ and now I wish to embark on a very (so I heard...) mission: TO PROGRAM HALF-LIFE MODS! O_O

Well I got myself a C++ compiler that should work with Half-Life, ( Dev-C++, www.bloodshed.net :D ) and the full SDK 2.0

I open it up, and get a huge shock! "WTF?? This makes no sense!" Well basicly I don't get what file does/controls what aspect of the game! :\

I need your help! Where can I figure out 'what does what' in the SDK?

Thanks in advance! :D

Half life reads the liblist.gam where it loads a dll with all the exported functions by the dll. The dll uses those to start a game.

Thanks for your help everyone!

BTW: I heard a rumor that you can build the SDK without VC++6.0. Is this true? If so, I may consider using it instead of buying VC++6.0.

Thanks

Yes, I called my local college book store and they told me you can't but VC++6.0 anymore, that .NET is the only one available! :\

I also heard that .NET breaks the SDK. Is this true?

Thanks again!

Oo

QBasic. OMG, I thought it was dead long ago. I learned VBasic in high school . . . 9 years ago. Even Pascal was gone from my college in '96 O_O; !
