Re: [hlcoders] Offline Mode...
I agree, there's been a number of times that I've been offline and wanted to work on my mod, but the sdk base refuses to load into the debugger if you're offline. On the other hand, I can see why Valve don't want it to work. With other games you have to put a cd into the drive to play the game. The idea of this is to ensure that only one user cab use the software at any one time, keeping to the one user license With steam, where you don't have to put a cd in, they have to ensure only one computer is logged into a particular steam account at any one moment. When steam is online, it can tell when an account is accessed by two computers at one. But in offline mode, they don't. What would stop me giving my HL2 cd to five of by friends, along with my account information, and making them all use offline mode, so we could all play at once?

[hlcoders] Offline Mode...
So I'm sitting here at work trying to fire up Steam on my laptop (no active net connection). It comes up (expectedly) with a dialog prompting me to start in offline mode, and when I click it, I get an error message saying 'Steam cannot connect to the network' and that 'This operation cannot be completed in offline mode'. Is there ANY chance we can ***maybe*** get some at least better error messages for Offline Mode, or even some better support? Its really bloody frustrating trying to do anything without a net connection (or behind a firewall) with this kind of crappy offline mode support. I know I'm not the only person who is continually pissed off about this kind of support. Even decoupling the SDK from Steam could be a nice start. Is there anything that can actually be done to make our lives the slightest bit easier? I mean, how hard is it to actually code a decent offline mode... -- Matt Stafford (Wraiyth) http://www.wraiyth.com ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

[hlcoders] models with additive blending
Hey coders, hope you can help me out--
I'm trying to get a model to render with additive blending. I've tried it
with two ways, the first with giving my model a VMT with something like:
"VertexLitGeneric"
{
"$basetexture" "models/tracemodels/trace_map"
"$model" 1
"$alpha" .5
"$additive" 1
"$selfillum" 1
}
This shows up as semi-transparent and additive in the model viewer but
doesn't show up in-game at all. I've tried a dozen varieties of settings as
well.
The second method is to do it via code like so:
void CBladeTracer::PreThink( void ){
SetRenderColorA( 170 );
SetRenderMode(kRenderTransAdd);
}
The same thing results, the model is no longer visible although its shadow
still remains.
Is there some particular flag that I must set to enable rendermode changes?
Seems like all the examples I can find apply to sprites, and never to
setting rendermodes to models.
Thanks in advance.

What happens when you use something like: give weapon_(whatever your new

Re: [hlcoders] Problem with adding a classes menu
And as you may have notice by my reply afterwards, I didn't understand it, I found Tony's reply more clearly and do understand it now. No time to check if the classmenu is working now but the errors are fixed now.

Sorry to bother everyone, but I still have not figured this out, does
anyone have any ideas?

Re: [hlcoders] Problem with Weapon Icon Replacement
Ah, y eah that's basically what i was going to check.
The actual filename doesn't matter. You could have
thisisacrazycustomfontman.ttf as the filename, but the 'name' inside the ttf
(when you create it) is what is referenced by "CustomFont"; So if the name
inside the ttf is CrazyFont, "CrazyFont" is what you'd put in the .res
However, if the filename for crazyfont was 'thisisacrazycustomfontman.ttf'
you'd still put that down at the bottom of the res ;)

Re: [hlcoders] Problem with Weapon Icon Replacement
Thanks for the reply Tony but I think I may have gotten it figured out.
I think the problem was that the name of the .ttf file and the actual
name of the font were different and I didn't realize it until now. I got
my icon in-game and think everything is looking pretty good now.
However, you never know what will go wrong next so it's completely
possible you'll be hearing from me again, ha ha. Thanks a lot for your
help guys, I really do appreciate it.

[hlcoders] Problem with adding a classes menu
Hey,
I'm pretty new to coding, but through tutorials I managed to punch my
way through most problems or by asking other devs I know for help but at
this time nobody seems to know a non dead link to a good tutorial on
class menu's and classes.
People say: Take the teammenu for example to get the classmenu done
however I'm having some troubles in what I believe would be the last
step to get a class menu working.
This last step has to do with what I think is the creation of the
panel/menu and involves placing the following lines around the same area
as what the teammenu lines for it are to namely:
else if ( Q_strcmp(PANEL_CLASS, szPanelName) == 0 )
{
newpanel = new CClassMenu( this );
}
Then a error was there cause no include was added for the classmenu
header file(teammenu already had that set default) then the error I
can't get past appeared and it's this:
baseviewport.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public:
__thiscall CClassMenu::CClassMenu(class IViewPort *)" (??0CClassMenu@@[EMAIL
PROTECTED]@@@Z) referenced in function "public: virtual class IViewPortPanel *
__thiscall CBaseViewport::CreatePanelByName(char const *)" ([EMAIL
PROTECTED]@@UAEPAVIViewPortPanel@@[EMAIL PROTECTED])
I tried locating where the error should be located, think I found where
but I have no idea what's wrong, there seems to be nothing wrong with
any of the places it mentions and already tried changing some things but
that just resulted in different errors.
Any help on fixing this would be appreciated.

Re: [hlcoders] Problem with Weapon Icon Replacement
Thanks for the suggestion Tom but I'm still having some problems. I added my
font to the end of ClientScheme.res so it looks like this:
-
CUSTOM FONT FILES /
//
// specifies all the custom (non-system) font files that need to be
loaded to service the above described fonts
CustomFontFiles
{
"1""resource/CustomFont.ttf"
"2""resource/HL2crosshairs.ttf"
"3""resource/HALFLIFE2.ttf"
}
}
--
Now when I pick up my weapon it doesn't flash any icon and the bucket
contains the weapon name but not the icon (instead of flashing and
displaying the letter "a" like it did before). Any further ideas or
solutions on this? Thanks.

Re: [hlcoders] Shader-entity communication
Usually this is done by writing a proxy which is referenced in the material. This causes a callback to the proxy code to happen when the material is drawn. The proxy code Looks at the state of the entity and updates material vars to reflect it, which are seen by the shader. As an example, proxyhealth.cpp in the client is a proxy which causes a material var to be set based upon the health of the entity the material is used on. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Per Rasmussen Sent: Monday, May 05, 2008 6:51 AM To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlcoders] Shader-entity communication Hi, I am pretty new to the Source Engine.

Re: [hlcoders] Shader-entity communication
Per Rasmussen, I'm not sure how to pass messages as you've described. However, depending on how complex your shading is, you might be able to use a Procedural Material. Or, you might find that a procedural material is required as an entry point for communication with the underlying shading. I've used PM/PT before, and this tutorial is pretty good: http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Procedural_Materials Good Luck, Steve On Mon, May 5, 2008 at 9:50 AM, Per Rasmussen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I am pretty new to the Source Engine.
