Q: Is it possible to override an mvd’s embedded CSQC w a different csprogs.dat?
A: Yes. [Spike: “rename you csqc cache dir. the engine will fall back on your local csprogs.dat”]. So, in AGR’s case, rename: ‘C:\AGR\fortress\csprogsvers’, to ‘C:\AGR\fortress\csprogsversxxx’
Q: What’s the purpose of the (float) return value of a customizeentityforclient() function? iiuc it’s automatically used to decide whether to display the entity or not
A: return false, server skips networking it.
Q: How do I display an image at the console?
echo “^[\img\MAPS/aaaaa.png\w\128\h\128^] ksjdfksjdfksdjf”
echo “^[\img\textures/trump_suit_norm.tga\w\128\h\128^] ksjdfksjdfksdjf”
Q: I forgot the name of a command – how can I find it?
A: Type ‘find <string>’ and it will list all the commands containing string. Eg ‘find bbox' will list any cvars/commands with ‘bbox’ in their name or description.
