Inter-process Communication
Posted: Tue Jul 31, 2012 11:58 pm
It's been a little while since I've messed with Quake 3's source code and I recall that you can compile either QVMs or DLL files.
I was wondering how easy it would be to write an external program that's running in the background to send event signals to Quake 3 and have it directly hook into the Q3 process.
Or would it be simpler to just open a remote console on a port and send commands across that from my external program? I think I have some old stand-alone rcon code rotting in some old hard drive somewhere.
Thoughts?
