Re: [hlcoders] Avi Materials
Cool, i NEED to migrate to OB code, been having big trouble with HUD elemenets
& AVI - this sounds like the thing i need to push me into the new engine code.
I have a few HUD Elements with slide out panes of pre-rendered CGI telling the
player Stuff, etc.

Re: [hlcoders] Huge SDK/Hammer Problems
You misunderstood me. I try to launch the SDK through Steam, not from the Superbar. Hammer is pinned to the Superbar because, since the SDK doesn't work, I can't launch it any other way.

Re: [hlcoders] Huge SDK/Hammer Problems
The problem isn't with Windows, it's with the SDK. You're trying to launch the SDK after you've pinned it to the super bar. Same goes for Hammer, you still cannot launch hammer directly without the sdk, and only steam can open the SDK. So unpin the SDK from your super bar, along with hammer, and open them the old fashioned way.

[hlcoders] DXSupport.CFG - An Attempt at HQ Hammer
Silly title is silly.
Anyways. I'm attempting to use dxsupport.cfg (sourcesdk/bin/orangebox/bin)
to force Hammer to anti-alias, picmips, antistropic, etc. I've poked around
a bit and made some changes. However, nothing seems to be taking effect. The
DXSupport file looks like this:
"0"
{
"name" "50"
"Unsupported""1"
}
All the way up to DX 9
"5"
{
"name" "95"
"DefaultRes""1024"
}
However, changing these convars doesn't seem to have an effect on Hammer
after restarting it. Am I editing the wrong file/wrong section? (I edited
the 90 section and 95 section).
In addition to that there are card-specific changes, eg:
"317"
{
"name" "NVIDIA GeForce2 MX 100/200"
"VendorID""0x10DE"
"MinDeviceID""0x002B"
"MaxDeviceID""0x002B"
"m_nDriverVersion_Build""8421"
}
I'd assume you could make your own entries. However, What does it read? The
"Name" field? Or the VendorID/DeviceID?
If it's the Device ID, where can I get that for my card? (Radeon 4870).
There's no existing entry for any of the 4xxx series for Radeon. I think
with the convar " "CentroidHack""1" I could fix the off-set pixel
centers on the text. (All the Radeon things have this, and only the 4xxx
series has this issue... Since there's no entry for them...
Thoughts?

You are doing something wrong. I have been really toying with this, and
I have had some of the bugs you have mentioned, but I have also fixed
them. The problem is that produceral materials needs to be redrawn.
Although as long as stay ingame it doesn't 'need' to be redrawn, but you
cannot be sure the memory of the produceral texture is overriden. This
happens when you alt-tab the game or something nasty.
The avi system you are using are a bit flawed in the first place. I've
been experimenting with using ffmpeg instead - and I got it successfully
working ingame. Although it's hardly finished and is still very very
buggy and experimental, it is able to playable all sorts of videos. I
need to add a few other features to it, but if you are interested, mail

it's working correctly.

Re: [hlcoders] Huge SDK/Hammer Problems
Have you tried verifying the integrity of your cache? Also, if you close your map, but not Hammer, does the 'Messages' box say what files it's missing? 2009/9/13 Alex Kane > I have now reinstalled Steam in its entirety, and it STILL does not work. > This is a joke. > > > Matt Hoffman wrote: > > I'm running on Windows 7 RC (Build 7100) 64 Bit and it works fine. > > > > On Sat, Sep 12, 2009 at 2:33 PM, Tom Edwards >wrote: > > > > > >> You're running a pre-release 64bit operating system.

[hlcoders] Avi Materials
Hello,
I've tried to utilize the IAvi Interface to create a material for an avi
file.
I've the following code running when my entity is created on the client.
The avi is a valid file because it complains if it can't find the file. The
file I am passing in for now was created in the engine itself using
startmovie blah avi
if(updateType == DATA_UPDATE_CREATED)
{
m_hAviMaterial =
avi->CreateAVIMaterial(m_strAviMaterial,m_strAviMaterial,"GAME");
if ( m_hAviMaterial != AVIMATERIAL_INVALID )
{
m_flAviFrameCount = avi->GetFrameCount(m_hAviMaterial);
m_pAviMaterial = avi->GetMaterial(m_hAviMaterial);
SetNextClientThink(CLIENT_THINK_ALWAYS);
}
if(m_pAviMaterial)
m_pAviMaterial->AddRef();
}
Then in my DrawModel function I do.
if(m_pAviMaterial)
modelrender->ForcedMaterialOverride(m_pAviMaterial);
int val = BaseClass::DrawModel(flags);
modelrender->ForcedMaterialOverride(0);
return val;
This does not work so to speak because I get a material on my model that is
pink checkerboard partially and the rest has no alpha. When I brought up the
console I got some artifacts from other textures showing on my model. These
artifacts seemed to be the memory for the main menu texture, and also one of
our mods hud textures as well as some random pixels.
I've also tried forcing the frame to some constant value every think and it
doesn't help.
Has anyone had any success with using this?
Thanks
Chris
