Wondering about this.. Does anybody know how to use it, and which engines support? I've been pulling up some very obscure information about it that says it's present in even vanilla Quake, but only accessible in QC to few, such as DarkPlaces?
I don't understand, and how would one "enable" it engineside, per say?

look at PF_Traceline. it calls SV_Move with two vec3_origin arguments. Those arguments should be mins and maxs for tracebox. Making a proper tracebox function requires duplicating traceline and passing through two extra vector arguments. _________________

Fabulous. Seems easy enough.
Does adding an additional QC function to said engine require tweaks to FrikaQCC, or is that exactly the point of DPExtentions?
Sorry, but information on this seems horribly sparse..
EDIT: Got it working. This whole builtins system is fabulous. I didn't know you could add additional QC commands to communicate with the engine without having to modify the compiler itself! Great news for me. Now I can make some nice shit that I've been trying to do..
