How about both?
So I found out how to get the Visual C++ 2005 beta to compile the HL2 source. Only problem is that VC2005 beta expires March, and the EULA technically restricts you from releasing anything you compile with it. But by March I'll probably have bought VC2003 anyways.
I've been fooling around with VGUI with the aid of a really sucky tutorial that doesn't work right, I had to figure out that half of the important stuff the guy doesn't even mention but I've figured it out, partly through examining the VGUI source headers.
Here is the result thus far:
Adding a couple console variables and commands only took a line of code for each, pretty easy stuff...
Right now I'm looking at the headers for the TextEdit and RichText controls and figuring out how to control 'em, add text to 'em, etc.
Then I gotta figure out how to create a TCP connection (might need some help with that) other than that I think I could do this without any major help.
