[hlcoders] Source SDK Base OB needs updating?
Since the June 10th update my OB mod doesn't render the antlion_spit particles (they show up in the particle editor however). I also tried waterfall_cascade_01 with a info_particle_system and it doesn't show up either. I see this when I first launch the mod. Didn't find particle function Position Along Path Sequential Didn't find particle function Remap Noise to Scalar Didn't find particle function Color Random Didn't find particle function Movement Basic Didn't find particle function Movement Dampen Relative to Control Point Didn't find particle function Lifespan Decay Didn't find particle function Alpha Fade Out Random Didn't find particle function Movement Dampen Relative to Control Point Didn't find particle function Radius Scale Is this because Source SDK Base - OB needs an update like TF2/EP2/Portal received? -- Tim Baker ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
Re: [hlcoders] SDK Beta Now Available
I noticed just a few minutes before this email came out that my mod started crashing on a call to ISurface::SetFontGlyphSet() in one of my HUD elements' VidInit() function after the strange error "Run-Time Check Failure #0 - The value of ESP was not properly saved across a function call. This is usually a result of calling a function declared with one calling convention with a function pointer declared with a different calling convention." I didn't subscribe to any betas, but considering the exact same binaries and content worked fine last night I presume this has something to do with engine updates to 218. Is this expected behavior? The exact code that gives the error is: m_nAmmoFont = surface()->CreateFont(); surface()->SetFontGlyphSet( m_nAmmoFont, "Impact", YRES(18), 0, 0, 0, surface()->FONTFLAG_ANTIALIAS | surface()->FONTFLAG_ADDITIVE | surface()->FONTFLAG_CUSTOM ); m_nSmallAmmoFont = surface()->CreateFont(); surface()->SetFontGlyphSet( m_nSmallAmmoFont, "Impact", YRES(12), 0, 0, 0, surface()->FONTFLAG_ANTIALIAS | surface()->FONTFLAG_ADDITIVE | surface()->FONTFLAG_CUSTOM ); ... SetPaintEnabled(true); The debugger complains on each of the SetFontGlyphSet() calls with the previously mentioned error then crashes outright on SetPaintEnabled(). :( On Wed, Jun 11, 2008 at 9:38 PM, Mike Durand <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi All- > > > > The SDK Beta is out now and here are the release notes: > > > > =Enhancements= > > -Particle Editor, Material Editor, and Commentary Editor are now > included in the Source SDK > > -Updated SDK source code for Orange Box mods > > -Added example particle system files to SDK content > > > > =Fixes= > > -Updated Linux binaries and makefiles for dedicated servers and server > plugins > > -The Faceposer phoneme editor now pops up a warning message when a > phoneme cannot be saved > > > > =Known Issues= > > -SDK shaders have not yet been updated for Orange Box games > > -New editors can be accessed by adding '-tools' to the launch options > for Orange Box games or mods utilizing the Orange Box engine > > -Particle editor crashes on save > > > > I'm still investigating the Particle Editor issues, but I figured you > guys would like to get the updated code and LIBs.

Re: [hlcoders] New Content Authoring Tools In Tonight's Update
Once the beta has been released, there should be an option to select a beta in the Settings menu on Steam. Under the Account Tab there is an area that currently says "Beta participation: (None currently available)" Once the beta goes out, go there and you should be able to select the SDK tools beta.

[hlcoders] Sample plugin does not load under linux
Hi, I have compiled the sample plugin from the HL2SDK (not the orange box) for linux (serverplugin_empty). I have installed a dedicated source server running Counterstrike Source (linux). When I launch the dedicated server, I have this error : Plugins: found file "serverplugin_empty.vdf" Could not get IServerPluginCallbacks interface from plugin "../cstrike/addons/serverplugin_empty" The dedicated server is on the same computer that compiled the plugin (dev/test server). More information : Ubuntu 8.04 GCC version 3.4.6 G++ version 3.4.6 libstdc++.a and libgcc_eh.a versions 3.4.6 Where am I wrong ?

Re: [hlcoders] Player collisions, enemies vs friendlies.
it uses content masks. PlayerSolidMask returns different content types depending on which team they're on, and Tfplayer::ShouldCollide first checks for the collision group, and if it's playermovement group, it then checks to see if the content mask matches for that team. if it doesn't, it returns false. There are already 2 contents defined that will get you started: #define CONTENTS_TEAM10x800// per team contents used to differentiate collisions #define CONTENTS_TEAM20x1000// between players and objects on different teams -Tony On Wed, Jun 11, 2008 at 1:39 AM, Spencer 'voogru' MacDonald < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey guys, > > I've been trying to work with the collisions in TF2 and figure out exactly > how it's deciding who collides with who. > > In TF2, with tf_avoidteammates set to 1, red players don't collide with red > players, blue players don't collide with blue players. > > I've noticed the collisiongroups on red and blue players appear to be the > same, so I'm wondering what function is actually determining whether they > collide or not, I have looked at ShouldCollide and various other functions > that seem to be related to this and haven't had any luck. > > Any ideas? > > Thanks. > > - voogru. > > > ___ > To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, > please visit: > http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders > > -- -Tony ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
