Re: [hlcoders] Light entities
You need to know which light it is you want to turn on and off. In your code, you are trying to toggle a light you reference with "CLight", but thats an unidentified variable. Use the GET_ENTITY_BY_STRING or similar functions to get a pointer to the entity. -av Rob z wrote: > ok im not the best of coders sooo a lil more help would be nice after > looking at what botman wrote and reading through some code about the > GetClassPtr() function i was hoping this would work ( to test i am putting > the code in the client command function ) > > CBaseEntity *pLight = NULL; > pLight = GetClassPtr( (CLight *)NULL ); > pLight->Use(NULL, NULL, USE_TOGGLE, 0); // toggle on or off > > but it returns me some errors that im not very sure what to do to solve. can > anyone help? > error C2065: 'CLight' : undeclared identifier > : error C2059: syntax error : ')' > > i think that CLight is the wrong thing to put to find the light entity but i > have no idea what to put :( > > _ > Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. > http://www.hotmail.com > > ___ > To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: > http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders -- - [DRP]Avatar-X SillyZone Homepage: www.thesillyzone.com SillyZone Forums: forum.thesillyzone.com My Homepage: www.cyberwyre.com ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

As far as i know, this developer problem only happens in single-player mode. So if you
are not making a single-player mod, i wouldn't worry about it.

Re: [hlcoders] Anti-cheat code in mods
I have an idea! Why dont they make HL so that the clients all run server-side, and it just sends a series of screenshots to you. That way no hacks would work!!

[hlcoders] Steam messes up Half-Life
I was looking at the list of players in my server and suddenly noticed that a bunch of them had really wierd UniqueID's. Here: 46 : 495254 : Mann auf Feuer 53 : 558185 : [BD]MaKaVeLi 43 : 46537 : Venom, Homeless Kitty 44 : 399677 : Ryan 38 : 42354 : Phut 52 : STEAM_0:3424 : ceown, Monk Now, my software parses this user list. It does this by looking for comma's. Note how each value is seperated by a comma. Now, also note how the uniqueID on the last line also has a comma in it. See a problem? Changing my code is relatively easy, but this problem should not even have happened in the first place. Another thing i notice is that the number... 3424.. is NOT "ceown" 's original uniqueID number. This means that banlists are now useless, anyone that was previously banned can now join again at ease.

Re: [hlcoders] Half Life engine limitations.
The engine limits are there for a reason. I've hit pretty much every one of them... and every time i think "Dammit, what a stupid limit" but in retrospect it makes me redesign my map/model/sound/code/whatever so that it will fit in the limits. If there were no precache limit people would have a thousand models and it would take older computers 6 min to load.

Re: [hlcoders] cvar/console message access from an external program.
Perhaps valve could implement a "reader API" that basically reads out whats going on in the game without giving specifics IE it would say "person A killed person B" but not say where they are or something.

Re: [hlcoders] Creating brush based ents in the code
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Problem is there's a strange bug in HL where a brush-based ent can't have its origin past +/-4096 in three axises Example: Take the grate in well above the grenade pack in the red base, and try to move it so it's in the blue base. You will find that after a while, the ent you are moving will continue to be reported in the new position, but the ent you see on screen will be in the old position. -av Paul 'MoOg' Samways wrote: > That's great info, thanks.

Re: [hlcoders] OT - Pertains to coding in a way :\
I've got 8 devices on one IRQ, and my system is not unstable in any way. I leave it running for weeks at a time without restarting, and I never shut it off. As you can see: http://www.thesillyzone.com/device.gif my video card and TV card are on the same IRQ. However, I can play HL in a window with the TV in a window on top of HL, WHILE USING my network cards for networking, WHILE USING my sound card for sound, WHILE USING the Maxtor card to control my hard drives. Wow! 5 devices in use at the same time, all on the same IRQ, with uber-stableness.

Re: [hlcoders] Brainstorming: simulating entity behaviour in a "laboratory" environment
Interesting... however, when I designed my complex seven-floor elevator with call buttons, in-elevator buttons, multi-floor-call-at-a-time, and floor-ordering, (all with standard ents, my 4th ever HL map) i used an ancient device to help me keep track of what all the ents where called and how the entire idea flowed. This device is known as PAPER. That's right, i drew out my plans, so i could keep track of them. Maybe you should try it! -av Tim Holt wrote: > Was recently working on a pretty complex set of entities to manage a > firing range.

Re: [hlcoders] rmf format
There are tons of resources for understanding the map compile error messages, this isnt the place to look. About the encryption stuff. My server The SillyZone uses several ways to keep the maps seperate. One way is having all of the ent data encrypted in the map file, and have it decrypted by a DLL before it is passed on to TFC. But the simplest way is having special entities that only work with our DLL. For example, if you try to play avsecret_b1, the scoreboard will show 0's and not list the secrets. -av Marc Cabanatuan wrote: > Also, another quick WC question...A mapper buddy of mine made a concmap and > it turned out fine, then added an ending which was fine, but too big.

Re: [hlcoders] Info on a client command
Personally I like to figure things out for myself. It's more fun that way. I learned to code without the use of books, tutorials, or anything else. All I had for reference was other people's code. Many other programmers I know can't learn from code... they look at the HL SDK, and then ask me something like "how do i make the funnel effect" rather than digging up env_funnel and figuring out its TE_LARGEFUNNEL I think it's sad that people are so lazy and so dependant on others for the most basic information.

Re: [hlcoders] (no subject)
Since all you did was add animations, most likely the new animations are referring to bones that your model doesn't have.

Re: [hlcoders] Weapon slots
Changing the code does change the HUD.
The sprites in the HUD are generated in this manner. When you send it
the weapon name, it looks for
weapon_name.txt
in the \sprites folder
It uses that for the HUD weapon graphics.

Weapons in half life are arranged into 5 (or 10) "buckets"
Each bucket can hold up to 4 weapons.
The bucket is the little number you see in the hud, and each bucket
corresponds to one keyboard numeral
Buckets are ordered starting with 0, so pressing "slot1" on your keyboard
opens bucket 0
Now, each bucket can hold 4 weapons (max), and they are also 0-based.
So the first weapon in the bucket is 0, the second is 1, etc.
The crowbar is in bucket 0, slot 0
The MP5 is in bucket 2, slot 0
I hope this helps!

Re: [hlcoders] what a bloody n00b
What sucks about fileplanet is that sure, they use the money to support the service, but ONLY PEOPLE WHO PAY CAN DOWNLOAD THE FILES. People who do not want to pay, or CAN'T pay, (underage, no credit card, no money, whatever) simply can't get the files. Oh, sure, you say they have mirrors in places where the server has a max of 20 people... But their main servers are always full, and often you have to wait hours and hours for one stupid tiny file that could have been put anywhere else much easier. I say: If fileplanet makes money off of OUR files, they should give a portion of that to the author. If you create a game that thousands of people download because its so popular, you should get 10% of what fileplanet makes on it. If stupid annoying fileplanet (which i hate with a passion) doesn't do that, then someone else should. -av "Dave R.

LOL, that kind of makes it clear :) Too bad, but understandable. Can anyone link me to that bloopers sound? Oh, and one thing I want to know: who did that creepy VOX voice? or is it text-to-speech. -av Ken Birdwell wrote: "no" sounds kind of nasty, like we're refusing and keeping it to ourselves. The answer is "we can't". The bsp's won't load with your version of the engine. A lot of the demo map files are either lost, changed beyond recognition, never checked in, reference textures that don't exist anymore, or are interim .rmf versions that WC can't read anymore. The monsters either were never finished, were done with out of date versions of Max, only work in the demo area, only work on privates builds of the engine, or got cut and AI code for them is long gone and nasty to try to dig back out. Our content database also has limits, so when the level designers are checking in their 1.5MB bsp's once every few days, it doesn't take long with 115+ files to fill up the database (most maps went through 30-50 iterations) and things need to get flushed. With older content, typically versions only work with very specific builds of the engine, so we'd have to hunt through and recover everything in a hopes that just maybe _all_ the different files still exist somewhere for that date. You have everything we still have, I spent quiet a while hunting it down to put in the SDK.Okay, I suspect some of us have CD's buried somewhere at home that have really early builds of the engine. But, looking at it critically is really embarrassing. You know those school pictures your mom has of you in 2nd grade wearing that purple and brown velour shirt with you just after losing your front teeth and you had that really bad haircut your dad gave you? Remember those pictures? Well, without being very very careful with getting just the right shot, early versions of half-life look like that, except that it's also just about to sneeze. Hmm.
