RE: [hlcoders] #if 0 #endif -- isn't a /* */ 'better form'?
Moderately on topic: If you want to do commenting in and out of code during testing, the trick I've found is to use "/**/" For instance... 1: printf( "line 1" ); 2: /**/ 3: printf( "line 2" ); 4: /**/ 5: printf( "line 3" ); If you want to temporarily comment out #3, you remove the last "/" from #2 so that it looks like: 2: /** ...and it's commented out; you don't have to touch #4.

RE: [hlcoders] Overflow problem
Title: Message
Techncially, a float is longer (natively, 4 bytes) or
equal to (2 byte conversion in WRITE_FLOAT) than a word (2 bytes). If you want
to use a percentage you could use a single byte or less (7 bits, actually, which
represents 0-127. You can use less bits by sacrificing
fidelity).
Is
your HUD a numerical representation? For instance, in "The Opera" the action
meter is not, so even though the server keeps it as a value from 0-100+, it's
sent to the client as a value from 0-63 and scaled proportionally on the
draw.
if
it's a number you're displaying, is it really that much of an issue if it's a
few digits off? I mean, if the max is 6000 I won't be all that tramatized at the
difference between a difference of 50 points, for instance.

if its for displaying on the hud, you could also
just send in a range of 0-1.0 for percentages.
ie: fValueToClient = armor / 6000;

I was thinking about doing the same idea from a
different angle, instead of having values 0 -> 6000 on the client I was
going to change it so the server uses 0 -> 6000 but the client only ever
see a percentage of the total, so 3000 on the server would show 50% on the
client. As long as the values compared are only whole percents this should
slow the updates to the client enuff so that the over flow is gotten
around.
As I was planing to use percentages on the
client for display reasons anyways this should sort both things out at
once.

RE: [hlcoders] Dum C++ pointer question
Um... No. You're assigning the POINTERS there, not the objects
themselves; the result would be both pointers pointing to the same
object in memory and the second object not being referenced by anything
(memory leak, actually).
What you meant is...
*O2 = *O1;
This is relatively safe to use, but I believe there might be issues with
doing that on objects that "virtual" components in them. I personally
just do it the long way: create a "CObject::Copy( CObject *pSource );"
function, as described below. Besides, a "Copy" function is sometimes
necessary if you allocate memory within the object; if you just copy the
pointers, both pointers will reference the same memory and get real
messy if one disposes it prematurely.

RE: [hlcoders] LOL
I've known of people that felt particularly daring and attempted to use WINE, but that adds a level of dependency that might not be available on every Linux server you install on. For my game servers, I don't even bother installing WINE. For my own mod, which uses INI files for configuration options, I use to have the native Win32 calls handle it. Once I got to Linux, I had to write my own INI file parser so that it'd work. Just be sure that, when it comes to the server, do not write code that is platform dependent; it's good programming practice to make any application platform independent regardless.

You make things simplest for yourself by not using any C++ streams (no cout or cerr output). Also make sure you aren't using Windows API stuff (like time functions, etc.). If you aren't sure whether functions are available under Unix/Linux, just use the man pages on Linux to see if a function exists (i.e. "man strcpy").

Yes, they post exploit code, but they usually do it months after the exploit has been acknowledged, and well after a patch has been made available. Providing an exploit to the public invites people to take advantage of it, irrespective of how long it takes the developer to fix. As for "...creating immense pressure on a company to fix their software immediately...", you've never been a corporate developer, have you? It's not like they can whip up a patch and distribute it to the world in an hour; it has to go through thorough investigation, go through respective Quality Assurance teams, and undergo a Beta deployment process. Now that it's been so thoughtfully released to the public, you now force the company to push this fix through the process as fast as is humanly possible. What kind of product quality can you expect from it then? If Microsoft released patches so quickly, the chaos they would cause with software not suffciently tested would be catastrophic. Not to mention that Microsoft is reportedly on a 24 hour development/testing schedule anyway (developers come in in the morning, the build takes several hours, and testing occurs later the same day, or something like that) and has twenty times the amount of programmers and testers that Valve has. Also, do keep in mind the Valve is actively working on the product. Stopping current development to fix something usually means they may have to roll back or disable new functionality so as not to cause further problems to the public. That, in and of itself, takes time as well. BTW: When you "...see all of the latest Microsoft cracks on CNN...", that's usually because Microsoft has already released a patch. If CNN posted details of an exploit that had no solution, they would get hit with multiple lawsuits the likes of which you cannot possibly imagine. I've found exploits, cheats and bugs before. I remember long ago the bug that typing a certain command would cause any Half-Life server to instantly crash. It wasn't common knowledge, and thank God for that, but Valve was made aware of the situation through private communications and the problem was subsequently fixed without any mention of it anywhere.

[hlcoders] HLDS
Question out of curiosity... With 1.1.0.9, it seems that some of the DLLs have changed slightly. Because of that, it seems that the source to the Half-Life Dedicated Server is now somewhat dated and doesn't work. For "The Opera", of which we planned to release a patch in the coming days, the custom built Dedicated Server "opera_dedicated.exe" crashes. Is it the case that changes to DLL handling make the HLDS source no longer work? If so, when can we expect source that does work? Tnx & Rgds...

That's not the issue. The error I'm getting: "The application or DLL D:\Games\HalfLife\sw.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette."

RE: [hlcoders] Semi-transparent TGAs in VGUI?
Depending on what you call "semi-transparent"... "Semi-transparent" TGA images don't seem to work as such in software mode. For isntance, if you create an alpha chanel in Photoshop that's a gradient, so that the image fades out gracefully to the background, it will work in GL but not in software mode. In software mode, if the alpha is <128 it's transparent and >=128 it's solid (or is it the other way around); there's no in between. When you refer to "semi-transparent", I assume you mean like the "indexalpha" option there is for sprites, similar to what I believe Day of Defeat does. When you do that in Photoshop, make sure your alpha channels are SOLID white and SOLID black. Tnx & Rgds...

RE: [hlcoders] Speed bug
When you run DIAGONALLY, do you exceed 250 as well?
I've seen this before because the "max speed" is only across the AXIS.
That is, if yoy have a max speed of 250, that means 250 across the "x"
AND 250 across the "Y", which linearly is over 350 units.
You can cap the movement velocity by using something akin to:
int iVelocity = pev->velocity.Length2D();
if (iVelocity > iMaxSpeed )
{
pev->velocity.x = pev->velocity.x * iMaxSpeed / iVelocity;
pev->velocity.y = pev->velocity.y * iMaxSpeed / iVelocity;
}
...at least I *think* that's right.
You'd have to do calculations such as this where you process the
"cmd->forwardmove" and "cmd->sidemove" in the client code.
This is all talking out of my ass; I don't have the code in front of me
and haven't touched this part of it in ages.

Subject: [hlcoders] Speed bug
Some of our users have reported that when you run along a wall and hold
the Move Left or Right button so that you push into the wall, you run
much quicker. I tested this by adding the following code to
CBasePlayer::ItemPostFrame() to output the velocity of the player.
ALERT(at_console, "Ground speed %f\n", Vector(pev->velocity).Length());
Our max player speed is set at 250. Running normally I see numbers like
this. When running along a wall and pressing into it, the number jumps
to 360. I double checked this by timing myself running across a large
room. Normally it takes 9 seconds, but by taking advantage of this bug
I can run across in 6 seconds.
I am pretty sure this is a bug in the SDK or the engine as we have not
modified any of this code and I have experienced this in other mods. Is
this a known bug? If so, is there a fix for it?

[hlcoders] Third person player / Developer mode
Something weird... "The Opera" has a third person mode that I emulate, so to speak. I am planning of releasing a patch in the coming days, but I noticed something rather odd. When I ran in third person, I noticed that the player model always appears as the "player.mdl" reference model, irrespective of the model selected. BUT it only did that when "developer 0" is set. If I set "developer 1", I see the correct model. Is this normal? Is there something deep in my code that might be causing this, or is this a native Half-Life thing? Tnx & Rgds...

RE: [hlcoders] Third person player / Developer mode
But doesn't that assume you set the model yourself with the "SET_MODEL" command, and precache it? What I'm trying to avoid is precaching ALL of our player models, which would mean: 1) Only server-defined player models could be used. This isn't an issue because I restrict the models client-side anyway through model encryption. 2) It would take up 40+Mb of memory for models that it never use. Right now my code does: char *szModel = "paladin"; // For instance... SET_MODEL( ENT(pev), "models/player.mdl" ); g_engfuncs.pfnSetClientKeyValue( entindex(), g_engfuncs.pfnGetInfoKeyBuffer( edict() ), "model", szModel ); ...but what does that have to do with "developer 0"? For the record, I set a breakpoint inside the client-side rendering code and, sure enough, "model/player.mdl" is the entity being rendered. Is this some safety feature in Half-Life? Tnx & Rgds...

RE: [hlcoders] Re: WON is really down?
You changed the server IP addresses without waiting for DNS propagation? That's pretty daring... -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of sol.greyfox Sent: Sunday, October 06, 2002 5:32 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [hlcoders] Re: WON is really down? Quote from Eric Smith (of Valve Software): "To fix the problem we need to change the IP address for the server at "half-life.west.won.net". At 11:00pm PDT tonight (Thursday, October 3, 2002) the IP address for this server will be changed to "198.74.33.62". It could take up to 48 hours for the DNS to resolve to this address, depending on who your Internet provider is." This is more than likely the root of all the WON problems we are having. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Tim Holt Sent: Sunday, October 06, 2002 4:29 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [hlcoders] Re: WON is really down? Seeing a lot of chatter in our DoD forums about WON issues in the last 24 hours. Two things that would be really nice if clarified. First, where did you read that "bankrupcy" quote from (it's just a rumor unless you can point to a valid source), and what (where) is that alternate IP address fix (pointing at 198.74.33.62:7002). Is this a cheat/hack type thing you're suggesting? That is, is this legit or not? ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
