[hlcoders] Particle Effects
For some reason when I create particles only other people in the multi-player game can see them. I myself cannot see them. Any idea where i'm screwing up? Basically in the client dll I have the particle code and in the server dll I have the dispatch is blah blah happens code.

Re: [hlcoders] Particle Effects
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] If you're calling it in a weapon fire function then you need to make sure you're calling it on the client too - for the prediction. When you're firing a predicted weapon yourself the server won't send you the effects generated in that shoot function because it will assume you're predicting what you're doing on the client. So in your client code you need to call the dispatch function too.

[hlcoders] Source SDK Update - 9/14/2006
Hi All- We put out another minor update to the SDK this morning. Here are the release notes: Linux Dedicated Server Build Now Properly Builds and Links ** Makefiles were modified and the following binaries were added to the distribution: * choreoobjects_i486.a * tier1_i486.a * mathlib_i486.a SDK Shaders Have Been Revamped ** The old 'sdkshaders' has been gutted and replaced with snapshot copies of many of our production shaders. Specifically, the shaders included are: * all generic vertex and pixel shaders * 'bloom' effect shaders * 'water' effect shaders * 'refract' effect shaders See the Wiki for details regarding how to build these new SDK Shaders http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Shader_authoring/Quick_Start 'vbspinfo.exe' and 'splitskybox.exe' Have Been Added to SDK *** Both of these tools are located in ...\sourcesdk\bin. 'vbspinfo' provides interesting stats on compiled map files and can be very valuable to level designers that are concerned about optimization. 'splitskybox' splits a .PFM skybox into its component parts. See this Wiki page for more info regarding its usage: http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/HDR_Skybox_Creation 'mathlib' Source Code has Been Added to the Source SDK ** By popular request the source code for mathlib has been added to the SDK. Procedural Materials Now Working * The crash encountered when following the Wiki's instructions for creating a procedural material is now gone. Procedural materials have been working fine since the 8/4/2006 SDK release. -Mike ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

OK, 'nmake.exe' is distributed with Visual Studio so please make sure that your Visual Studio's bin directory is part of the path. Also, make sure to close your existing DOS box and open a new one whenever you change the environment variables. I just double-checked and I don't have 'fxc.exe', 'perl.exe', or 'nmake.exe' in the /stdshaders/ directory so I'm pretty sure that if the path is set up properly then you won't need to copy anything.
