I'm adding physics to the half-life engine, yet I don't know if it should be part of the client.dll, or hl.dll, can somebody explain to me the differences between these two, other then they have different cpp, and h files. While were'nt it just put into one dll,

And the biggest question, where do I put the physics files, in the client, or hl.dll?

Thanks for the help. :)

I suspect client.dll is only for multiplayer, whilst hl.dll is the base code. Er, if you need to ask, do you really think you're a practised enough coder to pull this off?

Hahaha, I know exactly what you mean, I just never really noticed the difference, and I still don't think the client.dll is for mp, but, ok. :D ;)

Well, 'client' is purely a networking term. Then again, VALVe might have let their code spill around.

I think it's hl.dll...
Are you good at C++, Unbreakable?

meh, I'm just getting into it Daubster, just trying to push some things to get familiar with the HL Sdk, and the NovoDex SDK

HL.DLL is mostly the base coding for HL.
CLIENT.DLL is (i think) stuff like the player's model, variables, and what-not that is set by the config.cfg

from what i know, leave the CLIENT.DLL alone unless something happens where you need to change it.
