Vanilla Quake net source files

Postby JasonX » Sun Apr 13, 2014 8:06 pm

I'm curious about the usefulness of a few Vanilla Quake _net source files.

  • net_udp.c is used?
  • net_vcr.c is used where?
  • What is net_dgrm.c?
  • What about net_bw.h

I'm planning to remove all network source files not related to the bare-bones network implementation. I want to get rid of platform-specific stuff and replace with something more portable like SDL_net or enet.

amg! you can't get rid of them! nooooooes!
net_udp is used in linux.
kill them all and rewrite from scratch. its the only sane way to fix nq's networking woes.

Is there a standard .h or interface that allows me to kill the source files and write only the methods the engine needs, with a different backend (SDL_net or enet)?
