ok,

I already downloaded the SDK for linux from www.metamod.org. I did that a while ago and I tried going to the dlls folder under multiplayer and running make. It doesnt know what the function setUse etc is still so I figured that I needed to run some other file before running that makefile. In the root part of the directory there is a .patch file which I suppose I should run. I looked through the file and its pretty large with diff commands. I looked at the man pages for diff and I got the gist of the command. Before I go any further with instructions you provided such as updating the setUse functions in the monster plugin source I want to know what the use of the .patch file is for.

I looked up unified diff files on the net and I found a nice article i'm currently reading and found so far the diff is for comparing files line by line and its good for developers. Thats nice to know so I could use it for my programs(nothing spectacular :-P ).

anyway I compared the patch file against the text file in the same directory and I got this output from this command that I issued:(output attatched)

I think the -u flag is for unified i'm not sure what else I should use. I guess i'll experiment.


I had to make a change to the output from the diff command and tried removing it from the attatchment but it wouldnt remove. I think it might be because of my browser. I'm using konqueror in Mandrake Linux 10. anyway the bigger file size thats zipped is the one you would want to see.

thanks
George
