Variable size lists/vectors in the code?

[Dusty]

Are there any inbuilt classes in the Quake3/Jedi Knight internal libraries for vectors/lists?

[Raz0r]

Nope.

Use std::vector, linked lists or realloc.

Or if you're crazy, build your own

 

On a serious note, there's pretty much no reason not to make use std::vector

Except when the situation isn't ideal for it. OP, what are you using the vector for?

[Dusty]

I built my own linked list data structure. Better than that though, I think I'll just use arrays with special values to indicate empty slots.

 

What I was using it for is to have NPCs maintain several lists of weapons they have for multi-weapon support like all weapons possessed, heavy weapons, blaster weapons, etc. That way when they have their weapon taken or they cycle between multiple weapons (like Boba) they can make a proper decision of what to switch to without the AI expecting them to possess certain weapons.

The way that's generally handled (with <= 32 weapons) is just a single uint32_t weapons, if the nth bit is set, it owns the nth weapon.
