[hlcoders] HUD element with .res files
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Hi, I'm trying to work on a HUD element that catches different events and displays a message for each event. My inspiration on how to accomplish this nicely came from taking a look at the notification res files for TF2. I have my HUD element inheriting from EditablePanel instead of Panel so I can load the control settings. I have also created a base_message.res and then some message_blah.res files. One example is: #base "base_message.res" "Resource/UI/messages/message_scientist_captured.res" { "Message_Label" { "labelText""#SI2_Scientist_Captured" } } However, when I try to load the files that aren't the base file, I always get the error in the console: KeyValues Error: LoadFromBuffer: missing { in file Resource/UI/messages/message_scientist_captured.res or similar depending on the file. I'm not really sure what's wrong because as far as I can see, I'm not missing any {. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Garrett Got a little couch potato?

RE: [hlcoders] SDK Update heads up?
Wow, don't check the mailing list for a day and look what happens. ::sigh:: Nick, man, you misunderstood my post. I was responding directly to Mike's post. Therefore my line about "I can e-mail you offline." was directed at HIM ONLY. Sorry for the confusion. 1. Has exploits. "The reason I ask is there are several exploits that have never been fixed, as well as some netcode issues that I've seen." I see players doing things all the time that they aren't supposed to be able to do. I have examples and descriptions. The netcode in HL2DM at least has been completely shotty at best lately. Plus Valve has put in time to fix exploits both announced an unannounced since the last SDK release. Since they are moving to a new engine with new interfaces I wanted to be sure those were put into the new SDK package. If not, I was going to make sure I tried to tackle those that I knew about in our mod. As far as engine exploits, I wanted to make sure Valve knew about the ones I've come across. Obviously I have no control over fixing these. 2. Knows how to use them. Mostly, no. Know how to spot them ... yes. 3. Is willing to give them out via email. Only to Valve. I have several e-mail contacts there, but with the orange box work they are doing, I didn't want to send it to the wrong person and hope that it got to the right place. 4. Refuses to help others to fix them. Nope. I have constantly e-mailed valve about other problems and some have been passed along and fixed. Unfortunately you can't just post about them here or they probably would be used as you can google any message from this list at any time and usually get a link somewhere that has the archive. Not to mention those who only watch these lists for specific things they can try. 5. Refuses to make fixes available to others. See 4 6 & 7. Dunno where those came from. Again from your response "I am guessing he is trying to sell the exploits to others on the list via email" I think you misunderstood my response to Mike as a general announcement.

Re: [hlcoders] SDK Update heads up?
This is getting quite ridiculous. 1) Finding an exploit does not make you an exploiter (i.e. someone who *actively* uses the exploit to achieve an unfair advantage over other players). Where did that logic come from? And if anything, as a developer I would be *overjoyed* if people spent time finding exploits and telling me about them. 2) Keeper said he was going to help out any way he could. Just because he didn't explicitly say that he's sending a full report to Valve right at this moment does not mean that he hasn't or won't. Now if he didn't or won't (and that's an *if*), then it would be shame on him. But we don't know that do we? 3) He definitely should not post any information about the exploits here. This Utopian notion that everyone reading the list has only the best of intentions at heart is utterly naive. If I was a hacker this would be the first mailing list I joined since specifics of inner workings of the game and engine are discussed on a regular basis. Any details should be kept confidential and sent directly to Valve. 4) I'm not a huge fan of people calling each other morons or other names even when they do behave a little out of line (*cough*botman*cough*) since that's just asking for things to spiral into a flame battle and doesn't help the situation at all. However with you (Nick) posting such blatant misinformation and slander I can't say I didn't see it coming.

The only things I have seen is that Keeper: 1. Has exploits. 2. Knows how to use them 3. Is willing to give them out via email. He's trying to keep these from general circulation. That's good.

RE: [hlcoders] RE: RE: AI in multiplayer
It looks like the combine soldier is trying to run TASK_GET_PATH_TO_ENEMY_LKP, which generates a path to the enemy's last known position. This task is failing, however, because it cant build a route to that position, which sets the COND_ENEMY_UNREACHABLE condition, causing the TASK_GET_PATH_TO_ENEMY_LKP to fail. Assuming that, in the game, it looks like the soldier should be able to find a path to the enemy's LKP, then you probably want to debug why that path generation is failing. A good starting point on the wiki is http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Ai_show_connect Robin. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adam Donovan Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2007 3:23 AM To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlcoders] RE: RE: AI in multiplayer -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Im sorry to keep hounding about this question..you all probably know what its like to stare into a pile of code and get a bit lost...thats where I am and Im desperately trying to find out the bits I am missing.

Frankly it is so. BTW, me and Keeper are in the same mod team ;) EmielRegis a.k.a. Millz www.invision-games.com Keeper apparently refers to exploits in the *engine*.

[hlcoders] World shader override
Hey list, I'm wondering if there is an equivalent of the ForceMaterialOverride for the world. Say I wanted to render eg. the entire world ( without the entities, just the brushwork ) in just one color, or better yet shaded but untextured, is there a feasible way to do this? [ I'm not talking post-process, I do mean the world rendering itself ]. ForceMaterialOverride itself works for all entities except the world.
