Another option would be to use a OpenGL GUI (in case you run into problems with VGUI1).
However for those u need to do some GL and mouse input tricks and also hook it into the right places (for a hook those would be a wglSwapBuffers and a GetCursorPos hook, in case you code a third party mod you could try to place the drawing of your OpenGL gui in the HUD_Redraw client dll export (hlsdk\multiplayer\cl_dll\cdll_int.cpp) or s.th. like that). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dominik Tugend" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Discussion of Half-Life Programming" <hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com> Sent: Sunday, April 06, 2008 11:47 AM Subject: Re: [hlcoders] VGUI Hud (HL 1 SDK) > Dear Drak, > > > Yes, you can use VGUI1 in HL1 third party mods. > > Several of Valve's native mods use a VGUI2 GoldSrc version (a earlier > stage > / branch of that one used in the Source engine), you could use that > theoretically too, however the interfaces are not public. > In some of those mods (i.e. Counter-Strike 1.6) the VGUI1 is not available > (the GamePanel has not actiavated this function), however for third party > mods (and HL1) it should be enabled afaik. > > I suggest you first update your hlsdk to hlsdk-p3, available on > http://metamod.org/ > > You need to include ( hlsdk\multiplayer\utils\vgui ) the required headers > and link ( hlsdk\multiplayer\utils\vgui\lib\win32_vc6\vgui.lib ) the > library > to your project. > > Look into the > hlsdk\multiplayer\cl_dll\vgui_* > source and header files for examples how to use it. > > > With kind regards > Dominik > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Drak" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com> > Sent: Sunday, April 06, 2008 6:53 AM > Subject: [hlcoders] VGUI Hud (HL 1 SDK) > > >> I'm trying to make a VGUI "overlay" on the HUD. >> >> Example: http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/9138/c4a10000xh6.jpg >> >> >> >> I want to have a small VGUI box where the text is located on that >> picture, >> is this even possible? >> >> I'm only wanting it to show simple text.
