Hello, I was venturing into the source code of half-life and I came across some functions related to sprites in hud.

Spoiler

#define SPR_Load (*gEngfuncs.pfnSPR_Load)
#define SPR_Set (*gEngfuncs.pfnSPR_Set)
#define SPR_Frames (*gEngfuncs.pfnSPR_Frames)
#define SPR_GetList (*gEngfuncs.pfnSPR_GetList)

// SPR_Draw  draws a the current sprite as solid
#define SPR_Draw (*gEngfuncs.pfnSPR_Draw)
// SPR_DrawHoles  draws the current sprites,  with color index255 not drawn (transparent)
#define SPR_DrawHoles (*gEngfuncs.pfnSPR_DrawHoles)
// SPR_DrawAdditive  adds the sprites RGB values to the background  (additive transulency)
#define SPR_DrawAdditive (*gEngfuncs.pfnSPR_DrawAdditive)

// SPR_EnableScissor  sets a clipping rect for HUD sprites.  (0,0) is the top-left hand corner of the screen.
#define SPR_EnableScissor (*gEngfuncs.pfnSPR_EnableScissor)
// SPR_DisableScissor  disables the clipping rect
#define SPR_DisableScissor (*gEngfuncs.pfnSPR_DisableScissor)

Unfortunately, I believe this only exists in client.dll, but these functions do not exist in counter-strike? And would not it be possible to access these functions or even be emulate in server side?

Also, I was searching for related topics and what I found was a counter-strike mod with a custom interface. This may be a mere edit in the video, or even a modification of the client.dll, but the developers said they did not make these modifications and that it is possible to emulate them on server side.

Of course they do, then how Health/Armor/Money/Timer/etc is displayed?

No, impossible to show custom things on hud, neither from those functions are used in showing custom things from server. You can check halflife code.
I believe he's using MetaHook or such thing (or maybe another engine).

The question here is not this, the question here is, we cannot use the same way that Counter-Strike use to display Health/Armor/Money/Timer to display custom sprites? Nevermind, that will never be possible, so forget my question.
