[hlcoders] Detecting Client Video Mode from Server
Hi, does anyone know if and how we can detect the client's video mode from the server side, like via a Metamod plugin utilizing the HL SDK? We would like to know if the client is in software mode or 3D mode. Thanks in advance!

Hi, does anyone know if and how we can detect the client's video mode from the server side, like via a Metamod plugin utilizing the HL SDK? We would like to know if the client is in software mode or 3D mode. I haven't checked these out, but there's a vid_describemode CVAR that might do what you want. There's also a vid_mode that seems to be used to set the video mode. Try them and see if they give you anything useful. Actually, I just searched my valve\cmdlist.txt file and those don't seem to be in there, so those commands might not be supported by the engine anymore. I was using a command.pdf file that I had downloaded from the i.am.halflife website a couple of years ago to search for video mode stuff and that's where the vid_xxx stuff came from.

Re: [hlcoders] Detecting Client Video Mode from Server
Correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn't such a thing trigger firewalls or the sort, it's quite dangerous to allow registry path data to be sent off to the host computer... That depends on the firewall, how it's configured and which application is the one sending the data. If you had something like ZoneAlarm, which would alert the client that some application was attempting to access the Internet, then the player would know that something was being sent or received. If you used a program that had already been given permission to access the Internet (like Half-Life for example), the firewall wouldn't warn the user of anything. If you were using an external firewall that only checked for accesses to/from certain well known TCP/IP ports, you could open up the well known port (say port 80 for HTTP requests) on the server and use that to collect information from the client. The firewall wouldn't block this request because it was one of the ports that you had previously set up to allow access to/from. Just be glad that the Half-Life engine doesn't include any browser type feature that allows servers to download code and run it on the client (that's assuming that Valve has plugged all the buffer overflow problems in the engine network code)! :) Jeffrey botman Broome ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

Actually I guess with Steam is does allow this! Now all you've got to do is hack into the domain name server and redirect the speakeasy.net domain to your rogue server and start serving up all kinds of nasty Steam code! ;) Jeffrey botman Broome ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
Re: [hlcoders] deleting animation
yes i've done it, i have another player model without any animations, and i've delete all the reference to pev-sequence in the ACT_ etc... but when i take damage, it return an error in the SV_SetupBones function... (i'm not that it's the exact name). I've looked this function but it looks to only set the vertices position under animating, and i search how to delete the processus that launch anims.. i think the problem comes that the engine try to load an anim that doesnt exist in the model - Original Message - From: David Flor [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 06, 2002 6:25 AM Subject: RE: [hlcoders] deleting animation Huh?

[hlcoders] string to #define
This is more general C++, but its for a HL mod so.. If I have a string, is there a way to convert it to integer with a previously enumerated value? eg, #define WEAPON_GARAND 2 then if I read in a string, and it happens to be WEAPON_GARAND can I know that that symbol is defined as 2?

This works about the same as #define WEAPON_GARAND 2,
you can't do things like
array[WEAPON_GARAND].
Unfortunataly, the long if else block looks like the way to go.

That wasn't the question Marcelo, what I thought (and was wrong) was
that the pre-processor would search inside for the #defines, so in
your case if I was right it would try to index array[2], which
obviously wouldn't work.

Re: [hlcoders] string to #define
hmm
a possible idea could be a string table maybe
an array of string/code structs, like
typedef struct
{
char cStringId[256];
int iId;
}weaponchar_id_t;
then you could perhaps have like
weaponchar_id_t WeaponCodes[] = {
{ WEAPON_GARAND,2 },
{ WEAPON_1911, 1},
NULL,
// etc
};
then have a support function or two to grab the string/int and compare in
this array
this could be more work, who knows, but here it looks a bit easier to just
reference similar items in an array

Re: [hlcoders] string to #define
well with the string array you could just do like
char *cGetStringForId(int iId)
{
weaponchar_id_t *comp_block;
int num = 0;
while((comp_block = WeaponCodes[num++]) != NULL)
{
if(comp_block-iId == iId)
return comp_block-cStringId;
}
return NULL;// or return or whatever u want
}
should give you an idea of what i mean by a list array

Re: [hlcoders] string to #define
I need to go the other way, from string to int.

well with the string array you could just do like
char *cGetStringForId(int iId)
{
weaponchar_id_t *comp_block;
int num = 0;
while((comp_block = WeaponCodes[num++]) != NULL)
{
if(comp_block-iId == iId)
return comp_block-cStringId;
}
return NULL;// or return or whatever u want
}
should give you an idea of what i mean by a list array

Yeah I thought about that but I think it ends up with a lot of string
compares. The particular method I am thinking of ( I might be
remembering
some magical C++ dream I had ) acutally involved converting a string
into
a
variable name directly.
But I'm most likely on crack.

hmm
a possible idea could be a string table maybe
an array of string/code structs, like
typedef struct
{
char cStringId[256];
int iId;
}weaponchar_id_t;
then you could perhaps have like
weaponchar_id_t WeaponCodes[] = {
{ WEAPON_GARAND,2 },
{ WEAPON_1911, 1},
NULL,
// etc
};
then have a support function or two to grab the string/int and compare
in
this array
this could be more work, who knows, but here it looks a bit easier to
just
reference similar items in an array

Well they say when you're not sure try..so I did and Leon's right
(at
least with VC++)
I'm not sure where I saw/read that it would scan quotes, but the
define
didn't work for me (it would just print out WEAPON_GARAND instead of
2)
Looks like we're stuck defining string literals or numbers, but not
mixing matching.

I'm sure it depends on which preprocessor is being used, but I doubt
most
modern ones do this.

The pre-processors scan through source files replacing the define
with
the value.
I'm not 100% sure, but about 95% that it looks in strings as well,
so
someFuncThatTakesAString(WEAPON_GARAND);
will get changed to
someFuncThatTakesAString(2); //constant string 2\0
before its compiled.

Re: [hlcoders] Detecting Client Video Mode from Server
Thank you everyone for answering so quickly. We did find a way and it really wasn't any of these, go figure. ;-) Actually, it was sort of close to botman's first reply.

Actually I guess with Steam is does allow this! Now all you've got to do is hack into the domain name server and redirect the speakeasy.net domain to your rogue server and start serving up all kinds of nasty Steam code! ;) Jeffrey botman Broome ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
