Hey guys how are ya, Im new to forums in terms of posting but i love the tuts you have and information on the Source engine
Well basically ive started work partime on a new mod using the OB engine and ive decided to start with my hud I followed a tut in VDC as to how to print a simple vtf out on screen and i eventually got it to work and lord and behold i was not happy because i wanted an animated texture to display in the top right hand corner in the panel. In the picture below you will notice my creation in the top right hand corner http://www.interlopers.net/forum/download/file.php?id=1011 So i went ahead and designed a simple rotating devils trap like belowhttp://www.interlopers.net/forum/download/file.php?id=1012 I have made animated sprays for Insurgency and CS:S successfully with VTFEdit and i was hoping that it would be the same here but apparently not, even though i tested the VTF as a spray in cs:S and it works I was wondering if anyone could help me with this on whether there is a method i can call like the paint() one that will paint an animated texture on screen The code i used is posted below hud_devils_trap.cpp #include "hud.h" #include "cbase.h" #include "hud_devils_trap.h" #include "iclientmode.h" #include "hud_macros.h" #include "vgui_controls/controls.h" #include "vgui/ISurface.h" #include "tier0/memdbgon.h" using namespace vgui; DECLARE_HUDELEMENT( CHudImport ); static ConVar show_beta("show_devilsTrap", "0", 0, "toggles my first edit on this mod, useless but cool to look at in upper right corner"); CHudImport::CHudImport( const char *pElementName ) : CHudElement( pElementName ), BaseClass( NULL, "HudImport" ) { Panel *pParent = g_pClientMode->GetViewport(); SetParent( pParent ); SetVisible( false ); SetAlpha( 255 ); //AW Create Texture for Looking around m_nImport = surface()->CreateNewTextureID(); surface()->DrawSetTextureFile( m_nImport, "Hud/devilsTrap" , true, true); SetHiddenBits( HIDEHUD_PLAYERDEAD | HIDEHUD_NEEDSUIT ); } void CHudImport::Paint() { SetPaintBorderEnabled(false); surface()->DrawSetTexture( m_nImport ); surface()->DrawTexturedRect( 2, 2, 128, 128 ); } void CHudImport::togglePrint() { if (!show_beta.GetBool()) this->SetVisible(false); else this->SetVisible(true); } void CHudImport::OnThink() { togglePrint(); BaseClass::OnThink(); } ////////////////////////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ my header = hud_devils_trap.h #include "hudelement.h" #include <vgui_controls/Panel.h> using namespace vgui; class CHudImport : public CHudElement, public Panel { DECLARE_CLASS_SIMPLE( CHudImport, Panel ); public: CHudImport( const char *pElementName ); void togglePrint(); virtual void OnThink(); protected: virtual void Paint(); int m_nImport; }; /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ The important part of the HudLayout.res HudImport [$WIN32] { "fieldName" "HudImport" "xpos" "r100" "ypos" "10" "wide" "86" "tall" "86" "visible" "0" "enabled" "1" "PaintBackgroundType" "2" } ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ And my devilsTrap.vmt code "UnlitGeneric" { "$basetexture" "hud/devilsTrap" "$translucent" "1" "$translucency" "1" "$ignorez" "1" } /////////////////////////////////////////// I recently changed that code and now there is a scrambled image that i cant make out the code i used for it is below "UnlitGeneric" { "$basetexture" "hud/devilsTrap" "$translucent" 1 "Proxies" { "AnimatedTexture" { "animatedTextureVar" "$basetexture" "animatedTextureFrameNumVar" "$frame" "animatedTextureFrameRate" "10" } } } ///////////////////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ I know it looks a bit complicated but the results of displaying a vtf in the top right hand corner is nice but an animated one would be nicer i hope someone can shed light on whether what i hope to do is possible or not because i would implement it in a panel in my menu for the mod Cheers Foofighter Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
