Cursor in darkplaces without csqc

[Nahuel]

Hello! Can someone explain the functioning of the cursor in Darkplaces? Could anyone give me tips on how to start? My idea is to make a simple menu without csqc, such as Darsana, which is compiled into progs.dat. I want something very simple, to get started. But apparently only survival horror maker, darsana and prydon gate, have this stuff without using csqc. Thanks in advance.

cl_prydoncursor 1

sets player fields:
.vector cursor_screen;
.vector cursor_trace_start;
.vector cursor_trace_endpos;
.entity cursor_trace_ent;

though you will probably hate the latencies if yours is a multiplayer mod, and you'll still need to figure out how to draw something at the desired positions.
csqc is the wasy way to go here.
menuqc is not viable as a menu... at least not for small changes unless you're willing to rewrite the menus entirely.

Defeat in detail has a cursor like that... I don't think it uses prydon cursor but I could be mistaken...

Why do you want to do this on the server side? It is very slow... All the mods you mentioned are darkplaces only anyways? You would be better off doing this on the client...

Well, It looks like Spike already said all this basically...

Ok, I know that csqc is the best way for this, but it´s very hard for me using darkplaces. I am trying this for darkplaces, the tuto is for fteqw, for darkplaces is so different http://forums.inside3d.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1560&start=30
For example, I think It´s very easy implement a simple inventory in ssqc, i just need to call the impulses

using viewmodelforclient, i think
I know it can be quite complicated and slow in this way. On the other hand I think it will be easier for my understanding. For now i am just experiment in this "false menu". Thanks for the request

It's complicated, it's slow, it will choke the protocol and there will be latency. If you want to create a menu that can be used when the player is disconnected - you can't.
