Mirage Source

I was wondering what everyone thought was the hardest thing for noobs to add / edit in the current MS4.

Stats, commands, packets, drawing, etc.

When I first started, I couldn't really get my head around drawing things using bitblt. Other things seemed pretty straight forward but I think it was the srcRec and destRec that I had trouble understanding the most.

I think DFA's Programming Manuel does a good job explaining the drawing system in MS:
Programming Manual - http://echostorms.net/Mirage/MSE%20Manual.doc

To be honest, I see people talking about bliting, and stuff, and I'm completely lost.

I didn't really have much problems, with packets. Than again, i haven't really worked with them. Try to think of it this way: Packets tell the Client, what to do. A client, is just a GUI for the server...

_________________

Packets dictate how the client and server interact with each other.

The client is not a GUI for the server. It is tool for connecting to, and accessing data from the server.

A GUI is a Graphical User Interface. Most every program has it's own GUI, with the exception of window processes and trojans and stuff.
