Re: [hlcoders] How to find SteamID
Okay, thanks a lot for clarifying that :-) Yes, I meant odd numbers - directly translated to Danish, an odd number is "ulige"(uneven). Hehe. Thanks again!

Re: [hlcoders] How to find SteamID
It can, but it means the same thing. Ex: STEAM_1 is used in L4D(2) and STEAM_0 in every other game afaik. What do you mean if AccountID is an uneven number? Do you mean odd number or fractional number? AccountID should always be a whole number and taking mod 2 of that should only yield 0 or 1. 0 for even AccountID, 1 for odd AccountID. When dividing by 2 when calculating Y, yes you should truncate any decimal but "(AccountID mod 2) / 2" is not the correct calculation to do so. Try: Y = CLng(AccountID / 2) -Original Message- From: hlcoders-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlcoders-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Michael Bang Sent: Tuesday, January 05, 2010 9:21 AM To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlcoders] How to find SteamID Ah okay - so a SteamID can't start with anything but a zero?

Re: [hlcoders] How to find SteamID
Hi again, I'm not quite sure what you meant by the calculations you wrote, on how to convert an AccountID to a SteamID. I didn't understand the first line at all; > > STEAM_0:"AccountID & 0x01":"AccountID >> 1" As for the second line, I tried to use the modulo operation (Mod(AccountID,2)), but that just gave me the number two. Could you explain it to me with more words?

Re: [hlcoders] File operations from stdio.h
It's not done by just copying the files into the folder. You have to add the cpp file to your project settings (compile and link) of Visual Studio or whatever you use. Otherwise it will never compile and link the file. - Original Message - From: "Klaus Müller" To: "Discussion of Half-Life Programming" Sent: Tuesday, January 05, 2010 5:07 PM Subject: Re: [hlcoders] File operations from stdio.h Sorry, I didn't make that clear enough.

Re: [hlcoders] File operations from stdio.h
You have to add the encryption cpp to your project, so it will be compiled and linked. - Original Message - From: "Klaus Müller" To: "Discussion of Half-Life Programming" Sent: Tuesday, January 05, 2010 3:00 PM Subject: Re: [hlcoders] File operations from stdio.h In a way this is good news cause it should help me resolve the fopen issue. However, it turns up another problem. Part of what I'm planning to write to the external file is encrypted data.

I included the corresponding header file in the basecombatplayer.cpp (the file itself I placed in the /src/common) and created an instance of the encryption class.

This is a setting of the VC project file: fopen=dont_use_fopen I suppose Valve wants you to use the provided filesystem API. > Hey, > > I'm currently trying to read certain information from a demo and write > them > to an external file.

Re: [hlcoders] File operations from stdio.h
They do this because then they can control what you can acess and modify, not allowing to open and modify user files on other directories that have nothing to do with your Mod :).

Re: [hlcoders] File operations from stdio.h
As it tells you... don't use fopen. Use Steams filesystem instead. Look for the Filesystem-class.

Re: [hlcoders] File operations from stdio.h
It's a trap! It's caused by a preprocessor definition in the C++ part of your projects configuration, e.g: fopen=dont_use_fopen; strncpy=use_Q_strncpy_instead; _snprintf=use_Q_snprintf_instead Basically it's to stop you using fopen and it throws the "dont_use_fopen" error instead. Valve do this to make you use their alternate function calls. You're choices are: 1) Find out what the Valve "equivalent" of fopen is. 2) Comment out fopen=dont_use_fopen; in your projects preprocessor defines. - Jed 2010/1/5 Klaus Müller : > Hey, > > I'm currently trying to read certain information from a demo and write them > to an external file.

[hlcoders] File operations from stdio.h
Hey, I'm currently trying to read certain information from a demo and write them to an external file. Therefore I included stdio.h in the source file where I need to use the function (in this case basecombatplayer.cpp) and did: FILE *fRecord; fRecord = fopen( m_sNewpath.c_str(), "wb" ); fclose( fRecord ); Now, when trying to compile, I get: Error1error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _dont_use_fopen referenced in function "public: void __thiscall CBaseCombatCharacter::CreateRecord(void)" (?createrec...@cbasecombatcharacter@@QAEXXZ)basecombatcharacter.obj Error2fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals .\Release_episodic/Server.dll I'm guessing for an experienced user this is an easily solveable error, but I'm not too familiar with the whole process of compiling and linking. I never had to deal with a project as complex and big as the Source engine code before, so maybe that's why I never had to deal with a problem like this before. Thanks in advance for your help.
