[GoldSrc]Compiled HL libs for experimental development in other languages.
 

Hello guys.

I've been traveling and I got an idea that I can try to re-write the Metamod in some other language.

I downloaded the source code and read through that, and saw that HLSDK is being used to ease the development. But there must be a compiled library (DLL) of it (HLSDK), maybe in the game itself, that I am unaware of. Does somebody know about its location?

HLSDK is just a base for coding your HL mod (it's Half Life Software Development Kit), it's not directly found in the game and mods (like CS) use it as a base and expand upon it. That's what developers use to develop the "mod library" (those binaries in $moddir/dlls and $moddir/cl_dlls).

Anyway, to code something like Metamod you only need interfaces between the engine and mod library which can be found in HLSDK, not the binary itself.

That means, I just need to declare the native functions in my code, generate the DLL and then reference it through liblist.gam?
