[hlcoders] custom footstep sounds never load?
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] working on a small project with some people in berlin this week and I am having allot of problems getting any changes to happen with the footsteps sounds for a little mod they are using. I first tried editing game sound physics.txt to use our own sound files..that didnt work. So then I tried renaming the sounds files to the same names in the script file..that also didnt work. I looked into other .gcf files to see if I was missing any script files and they all seemed to be present. I can change other script files for other things but no matter what I do there is no change to the footsteps, I have tried 3 different mods with all of this and still no luck. Is it possible that there is something wrong with the SDK update that has broken custom footstep sounds or was it never available to change in the first place? Is there somewhere in the code to force the mod to use a specific script file? This is for a MP mod y the way app id 320..I also tried ep1 app id 380 but that didnt work either thanks again people adam _ New music from the Rogue Traders - listen now! http://ninemsn.com.au/share/redir/adTrack.asp?mode=clickclientID=832referral=hotmailtaglineOct07URL=http://music.ninemsn.com.au/roguetraders -- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

Re: [hlcoders] SendProxy_String_tToString can't send wide-char string data
Well there is no SendBlob sort of function anywhere in the dt_send and various other networking files. It's not a huge deal, I just had to write my own base-128 encoder, so that there wouldn't be any 0s in the data that went over the wire. It just seems that Valve would want to support this natively.

[hlcoders] Muzzle Flash Fix + BloodSpray
Hey, A single-player mod im working on requires to use models from CSS, now everything is working fine. Muzzle flash is in the right place and recoil anim's are fixed, problem is... when the gun runs out of ammo it will still play the recoil anim and show a muzzle flash. Any way to stop the muzzle flash from playing when the clips empty? As for the blood effects for this mod we want to add a blood spurt effect from the point of entry when the NPC's take damage, similar to in SMOD. I know I have to use the UTIL_BloodSpray function and also TraceLines but there isn't any documentation online that I can find which will help me to implement this sort of effect. So any help would be great, and im sure other people would benifit from knowing this as it seems to be a sought after effect. Im not sure where it would be defined, for HL2MP I know its in the OnTakeDamage function but for NPC's in SP im not sure thats right.

As far as I know, you should be basing your current mods off the Source

[hlcoders] Re: SendProxy_String_tToString can't send wide-char
Try these two functions. Just wrote them then in like 3min, haven't tested
them. It allows you to send wchar_t strings.
All it really does is substitutes 0x00 for 0xFF. So you loose the use of
0x00FF and 0x characters.
I think I forgot to check for wchar_t string ending in the Encode function,
but I'm sure you can do it.
~Haza
void NetSafe16Encode( wchar_t *in, char *out )
{
char ZeroByte = (char)0xFF;
int out_counter = 0;
for(int i = 0; i (sizeof(in)/sizeof(wchar_t)); i++)
{
// Use bit shifting operations to clean up data.
char right = (char)((in[i] 8) 8);
if( right == (char)0x00 )
right = ZeroByte;
char left = (char)(in[i] 8);
if( left == (char)0x00 )
left = ZeroByte;
out[out_counter] = left;
out_counter++;
out[out_counter] = right;
out_counter++;
}
}
void NetSafe16DeEncode( char *in, wchar_t *out )
{
char ZeroByte = (char)0xFF;
int out_counter = 0;
for(int i = 0; i sizeof(in); i++)
{
unsigned short left;
if(in[i] == ZeroByte)
left = 0x;
else
left = ((unsigned short)in[i]) 8;
i++;
unsigned short right;
if(in[i] == ZeroByte)
right = 0x;
else
right = ((unsigned short)in[i]);
wchar_t final = (wchar_t)(left + right);

Re: [hlcoders] Cinematic Physics?
It looks just like you run a model through a physics solver and save it as an animation and that is about it to get the same effect as they have. Don't know if they have any other fancier features that are used in conjunction.

GameSpy described the new system in their conference report: “ The idea behind this is to give players the opportunity to experience in-game physics in action on a grander scale. As an example of Cinematic Physics in action, a clip from Half-Life 2: Episode Two was shown of a huge bridge collapsing across a vast ravine. ” The system appears to add the following features to Source's physics simulator: Deforming objects — before, physics models could not be modified except through animation Dynamic crumbling of brush geometry — before, lines of separation had to be specified by the mapper Cinematic Physics supports a keyframe system, [7] but its exact nature is currently unclear. It could be that an animator creates a largely complete but low-detail sequence which then sees details added by the physics system, or it could be that an animator creates a handful of single-frame states which are then used as motion targets for the ensuing simulation (in a manner not dissimilar to the Endorphin NaturalMotion technology). Either method results in a drastic reduction of developer input, thus allowing the creation of far more complex scenes than before with the same budget.

just really lame. Oh well, thanks though.

my_uint16_t encoded_i = 0;

i /= 255;

*((unsigned char*)(encoded_i) + 0) = (unsigned char)(rem_i + 1);

rem_i = i % 255;

Re: [hlcoders] Mod not showing up in the Steam-Servers-Internet-Game selector
You can use the SDK Base SteamAppId but mount the HL2DM content in your mod.

~~ Ondra
I need some of the HL2DM content, such as models, so I don't think 215 would be
appropriate?
No idea at all. Just tried copying yours into a mod of mine, and it shows up
just fine!

Hmm I guess the problem could be elsewhere in my mod, but I can't really
imagine where. Does anyone know exactly how Steam populates that list?

Has there been some sort of SDK change that needs to be made for mods

continue to show up in the Game selector?
Note that the servers themselves do show up, so if you sort by Game
you
can find it in the list and then click and launch as normal, but this
is
extremely tedious and confusing to new users.

[hlcoders] Adding extra model on player's head
I need to put a custom model (party hat!) on the heads of the players of my mod. Someone's building the model for me right now; I (being rather new to Source) need to figure out how to put this hat atop the heads of my players. Of course, soon enough, the hat will be sort of unlockable, so I don't want to make it part of my player models, I want to add the model to my players' heads at runtime. It doesn't need to affect phys or weapons, and I don't really want it to be part of the structure of the player. It just needs to show up and not affect gameplay. Can some kind soul help me? // Adam Maras (memzero) ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
Re: [hlcoders] Adding extra model on player's head
Sounds like you want an Attachment. I don't know anything about Modeling.

Re: [hlcoders] Mod not showing up in the Steam-Servers-Internet-Game selector
Your client is fuxoring messages...
But I don't know exactly if it is the case, but if it is not you can mount
the 320 app in your dll init functions. If they aren't there you can display
a message to user saying you are missing content the mod needs to run, etc.

the base sdk has everything that hl2dm has + some more. infact, I believe

RE: [hlcoders] Adding extra model on player's head
Basicly make a bone where you want to attach the hat to. In code there is a function that will give you the location of that bone so you can move your hat to that location and parent it with the bone -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adam Maras (memzero) Sent: Monday, November 12, 2007 11:59 AM To: hlcoders Subject: [hlcoders] Adding extra model on player's head I need to put a custom model (party hat!) on the heads of the players of my mod.

Re: [hlcoders] Adding extra model on player's head
In the QC file a modeller will define a location on the model that moves with a bone specified in the attachment command. Then in code you can use Attachment functions of CBaseAnimating baseclass to get a location ever think of this attachment and move the party hat to this angle and location.
