Re: [hlcoders] No more missing files, getting debugger to run

The window displays various useful information while your mod runs (missing animation for x event and such). Also, its just damned convenient and a hell of a lot faster than constantly launching your game through steam. It doesn't load the 'live map' background for the menus and such, just lets you get right in. I just followed the tutorial so I am sure someone will have a greater breadth of knowledge on the ins and outs of debugging mode. As far as I can tell the differences between the client and server sections of the project depend on what you want to do. You'll see some files shared and in both sections. Within those files you'll often see #ifdef(CLIENT_DLL or SERVER_DLL) which, I assume, changes things slightly in a class/function depending on what version of the game you are running. For example, in the baseplayer_shared.cpp file there is a function EyePosition() that returns the EyePosition of the player. At the start of the function it states: #ifdef CLIENT_DLL IClientVehicle *pVehicle = GetVehicle(); #else IServerVehicle *pVehicle = GetVehicle(); #endif As far as I can tell, depending on which version of the game you are running (server or client) it loads a different kind of vehicle (I am guessing a server vehicle is optimized for online, simplied physics maybe? I am no vet to the code). However, pVehicle is a pointer and IClientVehicle and IServerVehicle must shared the same GetVehicle() function so the rest of the code works regardless of the server/client. At first it looked like almost all the files were the same under both client/server but there are a lot of differences. As I work through tutorials and try to get stuff happening I notice it makes logical sense. Stuff that is thought of as 'client side' (for example, the camera controlling the players view) is in the client section (in_camera.cpp). That is not to say server stuff is only for MP mods (not at all). I am assuming (again, notice how green I am?) that when HL2 launches a singleplayer game it launches a server for it. The vernacular used in the console is very much in the vein of a local player connecting to the server running the single player game and such.

[hlcoders] HL2DM Frags Questions...
I'm working on mod'ing the frag grenades from HL2DM to simulate a baseball like object. Here's what I've done so far: I've removed the explosion from the grenade. It no longer deals any radial damage. I did this by overriding the detonate and explode methods within CfragGrenade. The damage that being done is through the VUpdatePhysics method. The code refers to the damage it's doing there as a slight bonk, I'm overriding the damage amount to what I want. and it this works well. (I'm also removing the frag if it does damage this way) Here's two issues I'm not sure how to fix... 1. The frag doesn't deal any damage to func_breakable or func_breakable_surf ...that is no window breaking... but will interact with a breakable_surf that is already broken. This is the normal behavior of un-modded frag grenades. 2. If I throw\drop a frag. my buddy picks it up with the grav-gun and then punts it back at me. The Frag will pass through me as if I wasn't there and dealing no damage. -Grash Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo!

[hlcoders] First Person Model Drawing
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I am trying to get the player's body model to display while in first person mode. I have accomplished the basics of this by making ShouldDrawLocalPlayer() return true all the time. I have the player model set up to be the alyx model. In game I spawn inside her head. If I look down I can see the full model but it is from the inside so obviously not what I want. Instead I've figure if I attach the player's view to the model's eye's it should accomplish what I want. I admit I am not to versed in the SDK but I've been digging around through many files and have figured the way to do this is altering what the EyePosition( ) function returns in playerbase_shared.cpp. EyePosition( ) is used in CalcPlayerView( ) to copy to the eyeOrigin vector which should get the job done. So in looking through the ( http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/First_Person_Ragdolls) First Person Ragdolls tutorial from the wiki I am thinking I could use a similar approach. However, I am not sure how to get the player model's eye attachment. They use m_hRagdoll so I assume m_hRagdoll is a global variable to the C_HL2MP_Player class. What would the variable for the player's model be? Is there one?

In source, no entity can interact with its owner. Somewhere in your grenade creation code, you'll see a call to SetOwner or SetOwnerEntity... if you don't care about giving the player a score for a kill with this grenade, just remove this line. If you do care, which is a situation I've often found myself in, I would add a new variable, called something like m_pMyThrower, and set this to the player that threw it. Then, when the damage is being caused, set the attacker to m_pMyThrower instead of GetOwner(). Voila!

Reply-To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com I'm working on mod'ing the frag grenades from HL2DM to simulate a baseball like object. Here's what I've done so far: I've removed the explosion from the grenade. It no longer deals any radial damage. I did this by overriding the detonate and explode methods within CfragGrenade. The damage that being done is through the VUpdatePhysics method. The code refers to the damage it's doing there as a slight bonk, I'm overriding the damage amount to what I want. and it this works well. (I'm also removing the frag if it does damage this way) Here's two issues I'm not sure how to fix... 1. The frag doesn't deal any damage to func_breakable or func_breakable_surf ...that is no window breaking... but will interact with a breakable_surf that is already broken. This is the normal behavior of un-modded frag grenades. 2. If I throw\drop a frag. my buddy picks it up with the grav-gun and then punts it back at me. The Frag will pass through me as if I wasn't there and dealing no damage. -Grash ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders Never miss a thing.

Re: [hlcoders] Any Source 2007 code update?
Knowing valve it would be something along the lines of; - Fixed everything - Added a hole heap of stuff Then a week latter; - Updated steam so mods would be broken if they migrated to the new code base. - Ported CSS to the new engine so hammer wont work either :P Adam --- Matt Stafford [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Still doesn't answer the questions about tool updates and bug fixes :) On 1/14/08, Ryan Sheffer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] If you remember the huge code update with episode 1, expect that but more.

[hlcoders] Replacing crowbar with custom weapon.
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Anybody knows how to replace the crowbar with another custom weapon? I have the custom weapon compiled, and tried to take out the crowbar, but the crowbar still stays in the game. -- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
