Hello All,
While trying to figure out the temp entities stuff, I put together the
following temp
entity spawning routines. They work great!
If you use them, then put them at the bottom of g_spawn.c and add extern declarations
as needed. Do a search for all instances of gi.writebyte() in your code and
make
substitutions for the spawn entities (gi.writebyte) series of lines for the
appropriate
spawn function.. Cleans up the code a bit.
Email me if you've found anything that needs changing.. Thanks.
regards,
Maj.Bitch
