Re: [hlcoders] Finding the entity based on the userid
When you have the userid (the thing that appears in the logs and such), you can do the loop thing to get the entity id (as described by Marcelo and me before). Then, you can do PEntFromEntIndex (or whatever) to get the edict pointer.

You need the updated value eveyframe?
often its better to build linked list with interesting values than
querying everything everywhere.
- a linked list of players
- a linked list of waypoints, etc.
- a linked list of buildings, etc..
Having to search everything to search the nearest Orc building its a bad
idea. While a loop with p = p-next its fastest than light

You can code the loop so it looks up both pEntities on a single pass.
(You will be special casing this one to speed things up).
Copy and paste from my plugin:
---
for(i=1;i=maxplayers (!pVictim || !pAttacker;i++)) {
edict_t *pEntity = engine-PEntityOfEntIndex(i);
if(!pEntity || pEntity-IsFree()) {
continue;
}

if(this_uid=0) {
if(uid == this_uid) {
pVictim = pEntity;
}
if(attacker == this_uid) {
pAttacker = pEntity;
}
}

Re: [hlcoders] Finding the entity based on the userid
In the end, I think it comes down to a simple profiling decision.
The question being: Which method is more economical?
If you're handling an event that happens often...like player_death, my guess is
the extra 64
bits (depending on the compiler) per player might be worth the amount of
function calls if
you're doing it often. It'll certainly prevent sudden choppiness; replacing it
with negligible(?)
sluggishness.
Of course, I base this on absolutely nothing as I haven't profiled the
difference.

[hlcoders] This is how you get the player's origin/velocity/money/health/clip/armor using a server-plugin (Windows only)
These offsets can change with steam updates. Thanks to Damaged Soul for
leading me in the right direction and for money offsets :P I would imagine
these offsets would be 5 off for a unix machine. I haven't gotten a compile
for unix so I haven't tested it.
#define OFFSET_ORIGIN_X 812 // Player Origin in
X Axis
#define OFFSET_ORIGIN_Y 813 // Player Origin in
Y Axis
#define OFFSET_ORIGIN_Z 814 // Player Origin in
Z Axis
#define OFFSET_VELOCITY_X 648
#define OFFSET_VELOCITY_Y 649
#define OFFSET_VELOCITY_Z 650
Vector get_user_origin(edict_t pEnt)
{
float fX = *((float *)pEnt-GetUnknown() + OFFSET_ORIGIN_X);
float fY = *((float *)pEnt-GetUnknown() + OFFSET_ORIGIN_Y);
float fZ = *((float *)pEnt-GetUnknown() + OFFSET_ORIGIN_Z);
return Vector( fX, fY, fZ );
}
And no you can't change the origin, well you can, but it won't register it
with the engine so it will just be overwritten again.
Have fun, similar function to get the velocity.
Other offsets you might want to play with: (beware of setting health to
1024, weird things happen)
define OFFSET_HEALTH39
#define OFFSET_CLIP 402
#define OFFSET_ARMOR749 // This will change
the armor value on the player's screen
#define OFFSET_ARMOR2 739 // This will change
another offset associated with armor
#define OFFSET_MONEY863

[hlcoders] Half-Life 2 has hosed itself!
As the subject suggests, this latest update really hosed over my Half-Life 2 installation. After starting Steam and receiving the new update, here's what happened: 1) Steam updates and the Play Games window opens. 2) I double-click on the Half-Life 2 icon in the Steam menu. 3) Preparing to play dialog pops up, then disappears. Cursor turns to busy hourglass. 4) A few seconds later is when Half-Life 2 *usually* starts up. However it doesn't now. Instead, the cursor just turns back into normal and nothing happens. 5) I check the process window, and there is indeed a hl2.exe running the background taking up a mere 4 kb of memory. 6) I attempt to load the Source SDK app (with hl2.exe still in the background) and get this intimidating messagebox: SteamStartup() failed: SteamStartup(0xf,0x12f69c) failed with error 1 : failed to take master pipe connection lock, Win32 Error 2 The system cannot find the file specified. 7) So I shutdown the hl2.exe process and try again. However the error persists. 8) At this point, Steam won't close normally and I have to end that process too. Shutting down Steam resets everything back to it's original state where I can reproduce the above procedure again and again, and receive the same errors. If I go to Source SDK before attempting to run HL2, then it works without problem and Steam shutdowns normally. I get the same error with HL2DM and starting up HL2 with my mod in the -game path. In other words, the problems only start if HL2 is invoked in some way. Restarting the computer didn't help. I thought it was something I did with the SDK, so I re-downloaded that, refreshed everything etc., and the error persisted. I've done everything short of re-downloading Half-Life 2. I'm thinking that somewhere along the line my Filesystem_Steam.dll or Steam.dll got messed up. Between this update and the last update, I *did* copy Filesystem_Steam.dll from half-life 2/bin to sourcesdk/bin because Hammer was complaining about not being able to find it. But that's the only subversive change I've made. All these problems seem to relate to the system, and I know that this last update changed the directory structure a bit. If you need any more information I'd be happy to provide you with it. In the meantime I will give in and re-download Half-Life 2 (all 838 megs, jeez) and see if that helps.

Re: [hlcoders] Half-Life 2 has hosed itself!
I had a similar problem with a previous update. To fix it, go to your half-life 2 directory where hl2.exe resides user\half-life 2\ and delete all the exe and dll files in that directory and in all subdirectories. run half-life 2 (from steam menu) and it should recreate those files. If it still doesn't run, then delete the whole half-life 2 directory, or better yet, rename it to something else. now run half-life 2, and see what happens. If that works, you probably would want to restore your config files and your saved game and demos .. etc. On Mon, 20 Dec 2004 21:56:10 -0500, Skyler York [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: As the subject suggests, this latest update really hosed over my Half-Life 2 installation.

Re: [hlcoders] Half-Life 2 has hosed itself!
you could have tried to validate the cache before redownloading :/ On Mon, 20 Dec 2004 22:14:29 -0500, Skyler York [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I didn't check because I've never touched a Steam.dll in my life, but it appears one managed to sneak it's way into half-life 2/bin :) Sneaky bastard child of a file. But I'm an idiot and already started re-downloading HL2, so I won't be able to let you know if things work for another two hours or so. Although I'm sure it will work.

Re: [hlcoders] Half-Life 2 has hosed itself!
True, but I figured re-downloading it would be the best way to get a clean sweep of the whole installation. And I actually have a lot of work I should be doing instead of playing with Steam, so it's all for the better :P Why must Valve release such a distracting toy right around the time most American college students have final exams? ;-) Hasan Aljudy wrote: you could have tried to validate the cache before redownloading :/ ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

Have you tried any of the previously suggested, er, suggestions? Yup. But adding a reboot to the mix seems to have helped immensely. -Don -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Skyler York Sent: Monday, December 20, 2004 8:12 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlcoders] HL2 has hosed itself (differently) Have you tried any of the previously suggested, er, suggestions?
