Hey guys,
Until I get an answer about a way to fix my TE extension's traceline native, I want to work on a new project. I had an idea for a very capable extension, kind of like fakemeta, probably not that big though. So I ask, lets list all the natives we want to see in the extension!
I'll start:
-GetCurrentWeapon(client);
-GetAngle(index);
-SetAngle(index);
-GetVelocity(index);
-SetVelocity(index);
-AngleVectors(input,output);
-EngineTime(); // probably is already here?
-SetAnimation(index);
-GetAnimation(index);

I could probably go on for a while, but I need your guys' suggestions.

GetCurrentWeapon is already a native, and i *think* GetAngle is too

Just a short explanation of the "bintools" extension that recently got committed. This is a C++ API to let you do something like this (pseudo code, don't yell at me for not following the API exactly). Imagine that we're trying to call CBaseEntity::GiveNamedItem:

Code:
ParamInfo params[3] = { {Param_POD, 4, 0, }, {Param_POD, 4, 0}, {Param_POD, 4, 0} };

ICallWrapper *pCall = bintools->CreateThisCall(vtblIndex, NULL, params, 3);
This dynamically generates a C function which can decode an array holding 3 parameters of 4 bytes each.

To then call said function, you can do:
Code:
unsigned char stk[4*4];
*(CBaseEntity **)(stk + 0) = pEntity;
*(const char **)(stk + 4) = "weapon_ak47";
*(bool *)(stk + 8) = false;
*(bool *)(stk + 12) = false;
pCall->Execute(stk, NULL);

Now, why is THAT important? Because we're working on another extension called "sdktools," which will abstract the SDK datatypes such that plugins can use the bintools extension to make C++ calls.
