Re: [hlcoders] Do high ping players cause extra lag?
There's a fundamental difference between having high latency and jumping around, jumpy players are spiking and usercmd's are all being executed in jumps and makes them harder to hit etc etc... But a player with a constant 400ms ping plays the same for himself and everyone else with lag compensation enabled. I used to play on dial up in 1.6 on U.S. servers from Ireland and the only times people complained was when it spiked... - Jay Quoting Minh : > Yea, that seems to make sense.

Re: [hlcoders] Do high ping players cause extra lag?
Was writing an email really quicker than a google search? http://www.google.com/search?q=Do+high+ping+players+cause+lag They don't cause any lag or slow down for other players or the server BUT if they have extremely large latency or spikes then they can have a jumpy effect that makes it very hard to shoot them. Think about it, even if the server or players waited for a response from players with low ping the game would be unplayable! - Jay Quoting Minh : > Whenever I play on TF2 servers or CoD4 the server admins are constantly > booting players with high ping because they feel it puts a load on the > server and makes it slow for the rest of the players.

"Survived" is a light way of putting it.

I never knew that text could be so intrusive. Is it:
a) The colors (think of the children!),
b) The letters themselves (which could, on occasion, be combined to
form words), or,
c) The fact that they can be arbitrarily positioned?
There's already a way to do "b" (white, centered), so I'm guessing there
must be something abjectly heinous about the other two. If such is the
case, why not add something for coloring but not positioning, or
something for positioning but not coloring?

[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Another bug that's
been around for a while:
The CenterPrintText font definition is missing from ClientScheme.res
so that a HudMsg doesn't get displayed. One of the guys at Turtlerock
said he'd add it to the to-do list months ago. Would it be possible to
add this fix to the next update also?
I've been trying to show a timer in an unobtrusive place on the screen
for a CAL match plugin for DODS, but there is really no way to do this
right now.
The plugin interface doesn't seem to obey the time parameter so can't
be updated (plus it prints right on top of the flag status icons), the
center say and hint text are too much in the way of the player's view.
It would be an easy fix, just need to add the font definition for
"CenterPrintText" to the ClientScheme.res file for CSS and DODS.
Thanks,
Grant
(L. Duke)
P.S. This is the definition I've been using to test but the players
have to download a fixed .res file manually:
CenterPrintText
{
"1"
{
"name""Trebuchet MS"
"tall""24"
"weight""900"
"range""0x 0x007F"//Basic Latin
"antialias" "1"
"additive""1"
}

Re: [hlcoders] r_screenoverlay client command.
Hey thanks Adam,
I'm assuming that's on the client yes?
I ask because I'm doing this via a CS:S Server Plugin so I don't have
access to the client code >.<
But with sv_cheats set to 1 it still doesn't work when executed from
the server which is the really weird part. I know some commands have a
new FCVAR_SERVER_CAN_EXECUTE flag but I thought that was just to do
with cl_restrict_server_commands being set to 1, I imagined all
commands were usable when it was set to 0...
And, when I was testing with the client I was using r_screenoverlay ""
to disable the fade, when I did r_screenoverlay instead of showing me
a blank value it told me it was disabled so I assumed that was the
correct way to disable it!
Thanks,
- Jay
Quoting "Adam \amckern\ Mckern" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Ok, try this (it will by pass cheats)

tested it with a text string before, try it, and let

Dont forget to make a pure alpha texture to display at

Re: [hlcoders] r_screenoverlay client command.
Ok let me clear this up, when I said "I can r_screenoverlay anything I want using the client console" I meant I can use the command to overlay any texture that's currently precached. It's a custom vmt and it's located in materials/vgui/hud/test/test.vmt materials/vgui/hud/test/test.vtf, and all of the following commands work fine. r_screenoverlay materials/vgui/hud/test/test r_screenoverlay materials/vgui/hud/test/test.vmt r_screenoverlay "materials/vgui/hud/test/test" r_screenoverlay "materials/vgui/hud/test/test.vmt" What I was saying in my original email is that this works successfully if I type it into the client console, but if I use engine->ServerCommand or helpers->ServerCommand it doesn't work. If sv_cheats is 0 or cl_restrict_server_commands is 1 I get an error telling me so. - Jay Quoting Wim Barelds <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Unless there are any messages I didn't get, no you didn't.

[hlcoders] r_screenoverlay client command.
Evening folks, Was messing with r_screenoverlay and noticed something strange. With sv_cheats 1 I can r_screenoverlay anything I want using the client console, but using a server command to execute this for a client with sv_cheats set to 1 and cl_restrict_server_commands set to 0 on the client doesn't do anything at all, not even an error message in either client or server console. Anybody know what's going on here ? Thanks, - Jay ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
Re: [hlcoders] Downloadables Bug? VALVE?
This has been a bug since CS:S was released and they have verified it's a bug. We were told over a year ago that it would take some major engine updates and that it would be rolled out within a few months. As usual though the time line was a little underestimated and we are still sitting here using a broken interface. The worst part about it is trying to test new materials/models/sounds, because I have to restart my client after the download to verify it as a success. Valve: Any updates on this issue? It can't be too hard to change one line of code to close the file handle on the client after you write the file can it? - Jay Quoting Ratman2000 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hello, i have integrated in my CS:S Server Plugin an function to add Custom Sound Files... So i have added Sounds to this System and it works great but i have one problem... When i first time connect to the server, all content gets downloaded... Then when i play the sounds by using: MRecipientFilter Filter; Filter.AddPlayer( i ); Filter.MakeReliable(); EngineSounds->EmitSound( Filter, PlayerIndex, CHAN_AUTO, SoundFile, 0.7, 0, 0, 100, &Origin ); The sound file dont get played... When i then quit CS:S and start it again and connect to the same server, i dont get download content and all sounds plays fine... Who is the problem? Is it an Engine bug? Is there a workaround?

Re: [hlcoders] How to send text files, mdl files, etc to a clients computer?
You could try this version also... http://forums.alliedmods.net/showpost.php?p=338003&postcount=17 It checks for the existence of the file before adding it to the dl table. - Jay Quoting LDuke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] http://forums.alliedmods.net/showpost.php?p=326764&postcount=7 It will only download the file if a file by that name doesn't already exist on the client's machine, so you can't use this method to update existing files. On 2/15/07, Ryan Sheffer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Hi I'm just wondering if there is an easy way of sending say a model, sound, txt, material file from the server to a clients machine. I can think of a way of doing this, but before I go with a more manual approach, perhaps Valve have left us some handy functions or code so we don't have to write our own. Not to seem lazy or anything ;) It is really just my own curiosity at this point and could be handy. I know the res files will send sounds, materials, etc to a clients machine when the map loads, but I need a way of doing this outside of a map res file.

Re: [hlcoders] UTIL_BloodStream (I mean STREAM) (No Texture)
How about looking at the correct function; namely UTIL_BloodStream;
and forget about the materials and functions pertaining to
UTIL_BloodSpray, hows that sound?

Also, if you look at FX_BloodSpray..
here's a material!
PMaterialHandlehMaterial = ParticleMgr()->GetPMaterial(
"effects/blood_drop" );
and even further.. for FX_BLOODSPRAY_GORE
hMaterial = ParticleMgr()->GetPMaterial( "effects/blood_gore" );
and then for FX_BLOODSPRAY_CLOUD..
hMaterial = ParticleMgr()->GetPMaterial( "effects/blood_puff" );

Re: [hlcoders] UTIL_BloodStream (I mean STREAM) (No Texture)
Thanks LDuke, First off "Tony omega Sergi"; it's called "not having a god damn clue before answering". Secondly, if you had bothered your tiny mind to peek at the function you would notice it doesn't reference anything to do with any materials. Try again. - Jay Quoting LDuke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Which material might that be? Since this doesn't work on CSS which uses both CSS and HL2 gcf files, I'm pretty sure there is no material that you're going to find in the gcf files.
