Why is it that you cannot edit this file? Is it tied to the engine code or something?

you can edit it but things compiled in the dedicated server are using things in this q_shared.h or q_shared.c and therefore those things cannot be changed in the main engine.....

i mean the dedicated server when compiled use this file....

moremover you can modify thoes files with things that only your mods is using...
but don't expect the shared modifiered things beteween engine and your mod to be modified in the main engine

if it could be modified , i would have been able to fix the UDP overflow exploit with a real coding patch and not the one provided which hack the binary

He means that some of the stuff is set in q_shared.h is shared with the actual engine. You have to be careful what you change as it could make the .dlls incompatable with the game engine.
