Foreword

The codebase does not use any C++ default namespaces by standard - this was introduced in C++ 1995, which was before the time where HL1 had started development.
The only C++ feature used within the code is the class type, but everything in the game is registered to the singular global namespace.
This is done to improve the performance & loading of the game.

Gotchas

There’s a few catches and exceptions we encountered trying to make this game work, so to save you a lot of hassle I went through them all and listed all the issues & their fixes accordingly :drill:

Player

All player related functions can be found in the player.cpp file.
The HEV sound on death has been removed.,

Damage

The player’s damage is defined in the player.cpp file. At base, it is set to 100.

ConVars

In GameDLL.cpp, this could be where the literal game starts, but we just don’t know.
When you call the RegisterConVar function from that file, you can successfully add a ConVar into the game.

Debug

When debug is set with the DEBUG macro, special game rules are applied within the game.
This can lead to a few gotchas, i.e:

  • If the game is in DEBUG mode, the player will automatically be given a suit.

Colours

Colors are set like this

if (HL_RGB)
{
    (*r == 0) ? 124 : *r;
    (*g == 0) ? 84 : *g;
    (*b == 0) ? 12 : *b;
}
