Re: [hlcoders] Adding downloads via downloadables table
Could this be related to gmod 9 where Lua files were blocked by VALVe because of the mass of Lua viruses spreading? I would try a different extension for your file and try again, if it works, then maybe that is it.

RE: [hlcoders] VCPM problem
That would work, but it would be a lot more work. Honestly the only difference is the Version 8,00 for 1250 is Version 8.00 for 1252. I'll probably just write a perl script that creates a new project file just for vcpm. That would be quick and easy. Thanks for the info.

I dont know whether it was *just* for gmod, or whether it was all downloads, however, Garry Newman has his own lua downloader in Gmod 10, maybe you could make something similar to that to allow lua downloads...

Re: [hlcoders] Adding downloads via downloadables table
The reason I needed this 'hack' was to stop servers downloading lua files into GMod's autorun folders (which is open to all kinda of dumb attacks from dumb server admins, ie adding a timer to make you say this server sucks every 10 seconds). AFAIK there's no real way to handle this without this hack. That said, I'm all for a callback allowing the client.dll to reject the download rather than blocking files for all mods. But even if that happens I don't know how much that will help you, since it'd probably have to happen in the EP2 code and I don't know whether you're going to bother porting FF to the new engine. garry On 10/19/07, Jeremy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Lua is as safe as you make it, as is any scripting language.

[hlcoders] Render scope
Hey,
I'm trying to implement a real-time rendered scope for my mod. I've used
some modified code from Rear-view mirror tutorial from valve developer,
but I can't get it to work. The render texture is compiled well using
tutrorial from http://www.fpsbanana.com/tuts/208 and it shows as black
ingame, but no scope is rendered on it. The code I use:
rendertexture.cpp:
//=
// Scope Texture
//=
static CTextureReference s_pScopeTexture;
ITexture *GetScopeTexture( void )
{
if ( !s_pScopeTexture )
{
if( materials-FindTexture( _rt_Scope,
TEXTURE_GROUP_RENDER_TARGET ) )
{
s_pScopeTexture.Init( materials-FindTexture(
_rt_Scope,
TEXTURE_GROUP_RENDER_TARGET ) );
if( IsErrorTexture( s_pScopeTexture ) )
return NULL;
Assert( !IsErrorTexture( s_pScopeTexture ) );
AddReleaseFunc();
}
}
return s_pScopeTexture;
}
view.cpp:
void CViewRender::DrawScope( const CViewSetup viewSet )
{
C_BasePlayer *localPlayer = C_BasePlayer::GetLocalPlayer();
if(!localPlayer)
return;
if( !localPlayer-GetActiveWeapon() )
return;
//Copy our current View.
CViewSetup mirrorView = viewSet;
//Get our camera render target.
ITexture *pRenderTarget = GetScopeTexture();
if( pRenderTarget == NULL )
return;
//Fog data, enables for this view, and reverts back to default.
fogparams_t oldFogParams;
float flOldZFar = 0.0f;
bool fogEnabled = true;
if ( fogEnabled )
{
oldFogParams = localPlayer-m_Local.m_fog;
flOldZFar = mirrorView.zFar;
localPlayer-m_Local.m_fog.enable = true;
localPlayer-m_Local.m_fog.start = 2048;
localPlayer-m_Local.m_fog.end = 4096;
localPlayer-m_Local.m_fog.farz = 4096;
localPlayer-m_Local.m_fog.colorPrimary.SetR( 0 );
localPlayer-m_Local.m_fog.colorPrimary.SetG( 0 );
localPlayer-m_Local.m_fog.colorPrimary.SetB( 0 );
mirrorView.zFar = 4096;
}
//Our view information, Origin, View Direction, window size
// location on material, and visual ratios.
mirrorView.width = 256;
mirrorView.height = 256;
mirrorView.x = 0;
mirrorView.y = 0;
mirrorView.origin = localPlayer-GetAbsOrigin() + Vector( 0, 0, 50);
mirrorView.angles = localPlayer-GetRenderAngles();
//mirrorView.angles.x += 30;
//mirrorView.angles.y = AngleNormalize( mirrorView.angles.y + 180 );
mirrorView.fov = 40/*localPlayer-GetActiveWeapon()-GetZoomFov()*/;
mirrorView.m_bOrtho = false;
mirrorView.m_flAspectRatio = 1.0f;
//Set the view up and output the scene to our RenderTarget (Scope

render-Push3DView( mirrorView, VIEW_CLEAR_DEPTH | VIEW_CLEAR_COLOR,

ViewDrawScene( true, true, mirrorView, 0, VIEW_MAIN );
render-PopView( m_Frustum );
// Reset the world fog parameters.
if ( fogEnabled )
{
localPlayer-m_Local.m_fog = oldFogParams;
mirrorView.zFar = flOldZFar;
}
}
And this in RenderViewEx:
if(g_pMaterialSystemHardwareConfig-GetDXSupportLevel() = 70 )

In our mod at least, the map files are incomplete without the lua files, so the clients can start their own server with the maps unless they get the lua files from somewhere else. Obviously that's not practical when it would be best if we could get the engine to send them the lua file as well. There a way to do this?

Re: [hlcoders] Adding downloads via downloadables table
Jeremy, Downloading dynamic execuatble /scriptable files to clients from servers is always a big no no since they can be (and will be) abused. From the documentation, lua does not appear to be a safe solution. - Original Message - From: Jeremy To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Sent: Friday, October 19, 2007 10:56 AM Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Adding downloads via downloadables table I read you the first time, and like I said, that's not a solution for how we use map scripting. I would like a real solution from Valve. Blocking lua files from downloading across all mods because of one mod was a pretty rash decision, and one that should be reversed and left up to each mod to filter file extensions as desired. engine-DisallowDownload(extension) or something simple like that. Had this problem been identified before we released we might have worked around it by using a different extension, ff_lua or something. But post release, and after there is a number of 3rd party maps already in the wild, we need to be able to accommodate lua files.

After messing with it a bit trying to get it to work, I tried a text file and it worked, so it appears that lua files are filtered/ excluded from being able to be downloaded.
