Is there any limitations that prevent to use (void *)?

tschumann commented 9 years ago

For which functions specifically?

It does not compile on 64bit platforms

JoelTroch commented 9 years ago

@mittorn That doesn't really matter because the engine is 32 bits, there are no 64 bits build.

You are wrong.

  1. There is other engines
  2. There is 64 bit engine, but limited to server
  3. Counter-Strike has 64bit server build
