This is a probably last major release with current protocol. Newer versions will be using another, non-compatible protocol.
Now we just need custom .dll support in the future and this is perfect!
What do you mean about custom .dll?
Mods and games should work, except games using VGUI2(like Counter-Strike 1.6, Day of Defeat).
-dll and -clientlib commandline arguments exists since... I even don't remember when it was added.
I posted about issues playing Afraid of Monsters DC a few updates ago and you told me that mods aren't supported that use custom .dll's.
Ah... You mean Android platform? I think, it's not possible at all.
Dammit.
Can you use the NVIDIA SHIELD mouse extension on other devices? If so, how?
I heard, this should work also on newer Android versions, starting from 7.x. But I don't have one, so can't confirm.
It is supports Metamod? Please reply
Does that mean that cz deleted scenes should work properly on android now? And you mean we won't ever get to play mods like brain bread on android?:(
CZ deleted scenes partially playable on pc with original cz ds server and pc-version of cs16client under xash3d fwgs.
For full compatibility with pc-version of cz ds needed vgui2 support yet.
To make cz ds playable on android needed to rewrite many parts into mainui, cs16client and regamedll_cs.
