In case you got any questions or comments

[sage carbon]

i love all the info you give relating to the map's bsp
PVS, pas, skybox stuff
it's all so potentially useful that saves me from having to write and understand all this shit ❤️

[pale oxide]

did you manually create the wiki or did you use a script?

also yeah the library is super cool 🥳

[wispy mauve]

The wiki is tiny (for good) why would they use a script for that

[wise bluff]

Both, I made a small script called "Library" that I used to generate the function list. It is a bit buggy and can't get everything with. So I manually write the smaller or missing functions.
Plan is to make it to a separated program in the future, if I got time.

[wise bluff]

Thanks!
I try to make it as readable and useful as I can. Some things in older games can be very complicated.

[pale oxide]

ah gotcha, thats pretty cool tbh

[wise bluff]

A library that allows creators to tap into source maps and tools like bitbuffers.

[sage carbon]

now all I need to do is figure out how to populate a bitbuf with the net library's buffer

[wise bluff]

I'll update NikNaks bitbuffer with some simple net-functions

[sage carbon]

@!!?!

omg

[wise bluff]

Updated, it now has:

BitBuffer:ReadFromNet( bits )
BitBuffer:WriteToNet()
NikNaks.BitBuffer.FromNet( bits )
NikNaks.BitBuffer.ToNet( buffer )

[wise bluff]

And BitBuffer write functions now return self, alloing you to chain them

[wise bluff]

DateTime and TimeDelta are now fixed and on the wiki. TimeDelta can also calculate leapyears and should have the right amount of years now.

so whats hard in it
just do a tostring and write as data
if its not byte-even then write all except the last byte as data and write that as a integer

[sage carbon]

no i mean like

msg->ReadFromBuffer()

[zealous rune]

wut

[sage carbon]

i want g_GMODNetBuffer

gimme that net.Incoming

in lua >:)

[zealous rune]

uhh well

thats basically just

the same way but read instead of write

[sage carbon]

re-write net library to use niknak bitbuf
read net buf thru net.Incoming and populate bitbuf

[zealous rune]

why would you do that tho

just for the sake of it?

[sage carbon]

yes

[zealous rune]

welp id do that too

kek

[sage carbon]

hahaha

ive had that idea in my head for months
