Re: [hlcoders] grenade code
Alright another question: I started on adding a new grenade, all went well, it's in game though its still using the same ammo as the regular grenade, however it will have a unique sound replacing the regular bleeps and explosion but I can't find out how to change sounds of it individually. I found the script file named weapon_sounds.txt where you can set what .wavs to use for certain situations such as exploding but this would effect all the other grenade sounds to. So my problem is finding how to make it so grenades can use different sounds for explosions and even the bleeping after its thrown. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
Re: [hlcoders] grenade code
I think you'll find it's defined in the weapons script file. i.e. weapon_mygrenade.txt Theres a section that defines weapon sounds and these refer to sounds defined in weapon_sounds.txt.

Re: [hlcoders] grenade code
nah there's only a few sounds defined there
but I found what I was looking for in the code, but again if I change
this it will count that for all the grenades so I want to make something
like:
if weapon_frag.cpp
{
playsound1
}
if weapon_superfrag.cpp
{
playsound2
]
I have no idea how to do this though, basically I have different code
for the weapons themselves(what you see in hand) but they all take data
from basegrenade_shared.cpp and thats where I can also determine
explosion sounds but I need a way to make if's for playing sound 1 for
nade 1, sound 2 for nade 2, sound 3 for nade 3, etc etc.
I'm new to coding so I don't know how to do this, already trying some
things but doesn't work... yet

Re: [hlcoders] grenade code
Are you saying you want a single greande to have different "modes"
(i.e. can explode in different ways) or are you actually trying to
make each grenade as a seperate weapon type?
In our mod we have several types of grenades (four in fact) and these
are all defined as different weapons derived from from a common base
class.

Re: [hlcoders] grenade code
Been messing around for about 2 hours now and I think I almost got it
currently using this code:
if ( "weapon_superfrag" )
{
EmitSound( "HolyGrenade.Explode" );
}
else if ( "weapon_frag" )
{
EmitSound( "BaseGrenade.Explode" );
}
the problem I have is though that it seems to be ignoring the if's and
just plays both sounds as if no if was specified at all.. so it just
plays both HolyGrenade.Explode AND BaseGrenade.Explode for both grenades
when it explodes. Any idea why it's completely ignoring the ifs?(it
compiles without errors so it should be accepting the ifs, cause earlier
it wasnt now doing it like this it didn't produce errors)

Re: [hlcoders] grenade code
Thats not going to work because your not actually testing anything.
if ( "weapon_superfrag" ). if weapon_superfrag WHAT? exactly?
I can't remember the exact code off my head but you need something like:
if ( strcmp( this.weapon_name, "weapon_superfrag") != 0)
{
...
}
So you'd be comparing the name of the weapon with a given string to
see if they match and then do something. Note the above ISNT real
code, just an example.
I still think you'd be better off just overriding the function that
plays the sound in each weapons own class.

[hlcoders] Converting lowres -> highres textures
Is there any way to batch resize textures and increase image quality? For example, it would resize, then run some algorithms on the image to improve image quality.

Re: [hlcoders] Converting lowres -> highres textures
You can't add detail/quality thats not there to begin with and determining quality is rather subjective. About the best you could do is enlarge and apply a sharpening filter but, frankly, it'll still look like crud.

I hope that's not the actual code, since...
if ( pointer_to_some_text_string_here )
...will always be true since the pointer will always be non-zero.

Re: [hlcoders] grenade code
I'd recommend you read Bjarne Stroustrup's "The C++ Programming Language" or
a similar C++ introduction if the code you have there is what you're
actually using.
While it is legal to test a string literal like you have, it doesn't make
any sense at all. A string literal will always evaluate as true, because
it's a const char* with a non-zero value, and any non-zero pointer converted
to bool is true.

Re: [hlcoders] Converting lowres -> highres textures
If you are looking for a good batch utility I recommend ImageMagick... http://www.imagemagick.org Jed is right though -- you won't be able to create pixels that aren't there. But if you can find the original source images that were used to make the vtf's you might find that the vtf's were intentionally downsampled to begin with but the original DPI is sufficient for what you want to do..

Jed schreef: > I still think you'd be better off just overriding the function that > plays the sound in each weapons own class. > > and how do I do that? There isn't a function that plays the sound in its own class, the function that plays the sound is EmitSound which is location in a function called CBaseGrenade::Explode in basegrenade_shared.cppTHAT is what causes the sound to play when the grenade explode, if the EmitSound is moved it doesnt play the sound when exploding! the BaseGrenade.Explode is what is linked to the game_sounds_weapons.txt in the scripts folder, in there you can choose what .wav files to play if I change those sounds all the grenade sounds would be that, so which is why I added EmitSound for HolyGrenade.Explode which has its own .wav and that should result in BaseGrenade having sound 1 and HolyGrenade/SuperFrag having sound 2. I believe someone mentioned the weapon scripts files to but the sounds you can choose there aren't even played.. EVER they're Special1, Single and Double, Single and Double are left with null.wav which is no sound and special has a sound but what is Special1? the sound isnt ever played when using grenades and changing the sound for it doesn't do a thing since it's an action which is never used so the only way to do it is through code and the game_sounds_weapons.txt ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

Re: [hlcoders] grenade code
Or make an actual function inside the base grenade class like so:
virtual void PlayExplosionSound() {};
then inside Explode()
replace the lines that play the sound with PlayExplosionSound();
and then derive it in your subclasses to actually play the sounds.
