Topic Starter	Topic: Accessing server cvars in bg_*
jkoder Grunt Joined: 17 Jun 2008 Posts: 59	Posted: 07-05-2008 07:50 AM                  Hello again, Can anyone tell me how to access cvars which I declared in g_local.h and g_main.c in the the files starting with bg_*. I want to check a cvar in bg_misc.c which I declared g_local.h in but it's not available/visible. This is probably not a Quake question but more basic C stuff and it really underlines my lack of skills in C. Can anyone throw me a bone on this? Cheers
