Re: [hlcoders] VGUI help
Best to look at the tutorials on Valve Developer Wiki. I wrote some tutorials that make GameUI panels and a bunch of stuff about them. Michael Kramer wrote: -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Ok, well I found a way to do what I want kinda. The only problem is that the menu is loading on top of my panel: I want it to look like: http://www.siosphere.com/LoginMenu.jpg But it only looks like that if I click the side panel, which then covers the menu. Is there a command to hide the menu? And just the menu (already tried r_drawvgui 0) Or, is there a way to gurantee my panel is on top of the menu (I already tried setting the zPos).

Re: [OT] [hlcoders] Overlay Text
Yah, I'd have to say that's true. If I was a plugin author, I'd get a bunch together and create a document outlining what I'd wish Valve would do. I'd also send it through snail mail, not email.

Re: [hlcoders] MainMenu commands -- Wiki?
Yes, we have success ladies and gentlemen! Using the idea in the below mentioned post, I have successfully created a custom menu with images, rollovers, and sounds whilst still retaining use of the HL2 dialogs. I even made sure the menu would shift accordingly when in-game to allow Resume Game and Save Game to be in the appropriate spots. Once I finish finalizing the menu, I will create a Wiki on it. Basic summary: * Create a panel for your custom menu. * Set "SetKeyboardInputEnabled(false)" and "SetMouseInputEnabled(false)". * Set Zpos(-1) * Programmatically add your ImagePanels, making sure to align them properly. * Add invisible buttons over your image panels, these are used for rollover detection. * Replace menu labels in GameMenu.res with spaces (i.e. "label" " ") [for testing and alignment, use underscores] * After getting everything aligned properly, you can either be happy and not have rollovers, or proceed to do rollovers. Rollovers: * Because we have set Mouseinputenabled to false, the panel will not register mouse input (this is good, because if we clicked on the panel, it would come to the foreground thus coming OVER the main menu panel, rendering it useless). * This means we cannot use Button->IsArmed(), so we have to resort to mouse positioning. * So, with your Algebra skills, we use the OnThink function to calculate the position of the mouse relative to your panel. If the mouse enters your button bounds, we switch images thus effectively creating a rollover! Alignment: * Noticing that in-game, the menu has two extra options, we must shift our buttons a bit to compensate (and make visible other images and buttons). * Assigning a delta y shift value, we move everything accordingly in the OnThink function. Because OnThink is called very often, we must make sure we didn't already move it AND that we are in fact in-game. So we set up a boolean value to make sure of that (and reset it when the game is over) and a function to check whether we're in-game. I'm so happy! Now my aesthetic mind is pleased and content. Go creative brain power! Whoo! I'll go into detail and provide the code for doing all of this in the Wiki. :-) I just want to finish doing some tweaking. Kamran wrote: I could, I suppose. Right now, I just got rid of the New Game menu option and replaced it with my own custom image (with rollover and sounds) that links to my custom new game panel. I also created a new panel for the menu which displays my mod's logo; that was easy. I could play around with my idea and see how far I get. Another idea just came to me and might be easier. In SourceScheme.res, replace the MainMenu text with a font that has blank characters (I have some fonts that don't have numbers, so they have blank chars instead), but that take up space. So then, all you would do is build a panel beneath the main menu with your images and then it would /appear/ that you made a custom menu. As for rollovers... hmmm. The problems I foresee with that, albeit small and probably fixable, is alignment (Getting your panel perfectly aligned in each resolution), and doing image rollovers. The alignment isn't impossible, because right now my New Game image does align perfectly in 1280x1024, 1680x1050, and is only a few (5-10) pixels off in every other. If you make your MainMenu Item height and length a bit bigger, I'm sure it would be fine. PS.

Re: [hlcoders] MainMenu commands -- Wiki?
I could, I suppose. Right now, I just got rid of the New Game menu option and replaced it with my own custom image (with rollover and sounds) that links to my custom new game panel. I also created a new panel for the menu which displays my mod's logo; that was easy. I could play around with my idea and see how far I get. Another idea just came to me and might be easier. In SourceScheme.res, replace the MainMenu text with a font that has blank characters (I have some fonts that don't have numbers, so they have blank chars instead), but that take up space. So then, all you would do is build a panel beneath the main menu with your images and then it would /appear/ that you made a custom menu. As for rollovers... hmmm. The problems I foresee with that, albeit small and probably fixable, is alignment (Getting your panel perfectly aligned in each resolution), and doing image rollovers. The alignment isn't impossible, because right now my New Game image does align perfectly in 1280x1024, 1680x1050, and is only a few (5-10) pixels off in every other. If you make your MainMenu Item height and length a bit bigger, I'm sure it would be fine. PS. You have a very good descriptive writing ability, kudos. :P Karl Jones wrote: Kamran, how about posting your research to the developer wiki?

Re: [hlcoders] MainMenu commands
I've got the basics of creating panels, for the menu screen and HUD. I've made about 5-6 custom panels for my mod so far. I was actually one of the first people to put up a tutorial on making VGUI panels on the Wiki. However, cloning is intermediate-advanced level. I would /imagine/ that it'd be something like this: * Create a new class, "ModOptions." * Inherit from VGUI::Panel * Load control settings from Options dialog res file. * Set parent to ... ?

When I switch to third-person mode, the model is still the
first-person model (ie. there is half a gun, and another arm sticking
out). How would I go about stopping that? Do I have to edit the
model?
My other (much simpler) question is this: at what point am I supposed
to switch to third-person mode? Entity spawn is too early, what would
be an appropriate time?
Any help with these would be much appreciated.

Re: [hlcoders] Using CZero content in a mod
Wow, that's really fascinating. I can imagine the benefits though... Tim Holt wrote: Two projects... One for Oregon State University that I'm a co-PI on (means I helped write the grant request) that is to create a forest visualization system using game technology. I've got various images, etc. online for it at http://www.orst.edu/~holtt/forestry. The researchers here have already created a system to make a large database describing forest composition, and this project is to create a visualization of that data set. The data is used to help plan forest use management and policy, simulate forest fires, ecological changes, etc. It's funded by the US Forest Service over a two year period. The second project is for Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi to help create a new system for training nurses and medical personel by using interactive systems. It's funded by the US Department of Defense to the sum of US$3 million, which is pretty amazingly serious money for basically a game development project - even if it's a training system based on game technology. There are a variety of pictures and such at http://www.orst.edu/~holtt/tamucc if you're curious. I think that if any of you are serious about getting into game development, you might consider looking into the potential for these kinds of Serious Games projects. They are getting funded, they are being built using state of the art game projects (as mods in this case), and there is a real demand for skilled game developers to apply their talents to these projects. If you're interested in Serious Games, consider checking out the website http://www.seriousgames.org. If you're in the UK, there's a Serious Games conference going on starting tomorrow (the site has info). In September there is a "Games for Health" conference in Baltimore, MD (USA) on games being used for medical and health related things.

Re: [hlcoders] MOD question!
I am working on a fantasy mod (ala Morrowind) and I was wondering if you knew how to set up third person models? I suppose you are doing a MP mod because I am doing only SP and third person is... a drag to work with. The camera works fine, but the model needs animations and whatnot. My model does have a walk animation using the x and y values, but I have no idea how to get that working. :-/ Any help you provide... would be helpful. :P Joshua A. Jacobo wrote: Morten, Well why not design the horse as a vehicle and simply add the NPC AI entity code to it. One of its conditions could be "am I being ridden?" and if so the state would be null or no AI. Once the player is knocked from or dismounts the horse, that condition changes and its state shifts again to active AI and it can move about, flee from the battle etc etc. We're working with a medieval-style modification as well so email me if you have any other questions.

I don't want the player to do the running forward animation when on the horse.. that would look stupid :) But i don't want the horse i want to create to be a "buggy" with just a horse skin. i want it to become a NPC with its own mind.. so if you etc. explode something near it it will run away.. use AI etc..

Re: [hlcoders] Creating Custom Flex Sliders
Good luck :D You'd probably have to redo the entire modeling system to make it work... the flexing, AFAIK, is done before compiling the models...

You can generate procedurally from the player name. That mean different players-name will have a different face. Not a custom, trough. But that save the need for a 3th server.

To do what Alfred is saying, just override the OnThink function.
Something like:

// make panel fill screen
SetSize(ScreenWidth(), ScreenHeight());
}
I can't recall the exact functions OTTOMH (off the top of my head).

actual
screen format 16:10
it looks like it is scalling just by height and then width is scalled
from our new scalled height - resulting bad width on my
background(being too small in width).
but as i said when i change resolution in game then it looks right
even if vgui editor shows width and height as 639x479.
im not expert but looks like bug to me - it thinks it is in 4:3 when
in fact it is in 16:10
what to do to make it see it is in 16:10 not 4:3 - i dont think
setting it in .res to 16:10 resolution is good idea.
p.s. this problem is also true for 16:9 format.

Anyone had such problems? is it vgui error or i messed up something?

Re: [hlcoders] Give command Syntax
If you want to be clever, create your own ConCommand that spawns entities. It's quite simple, take a look in HL2_Player under CreateJeep. That will teach you how to spawn basically any entities you need. Of course, you would need to have ConVars as well and you'd have to type those in before to set settings.

Re: [hlcoders] Weapons -- Model collision-based damage
Then theoretically, could you then swap models? Say, creating a "Blade" weapon but have interchangeable swords? Ultimately I will need to do that regardless... no one wants to play with 1 type of sword. Your idea is very interesting...

[hlcoders] Weapons -- Model collision-based damage

[hlcoders] Copying KeyValues objects
Alright, I have a question about the MakeCopy function.
What I do is iterate through an existing object and I /want/ to copy
over existing values.
Even better, is if you can tell me how to delete a key. Because I tried
RemoveSubKey and it doesn't work; so I am iterating through the object
and skipping the key I want to remove and copying over the new data to
the old object to be used.
KeyValues *Key = SaveData->GetFirstSubKey();
KeyValues *NewData = new KeyValues("Data");
while(Key)
{
// is this the key we don't want?
if(!strcmp(Key->GetName(), RemoveData->GetName()))
{
// do nothing, skip
} else {
// It's not, so let's add it.
KeyValues *NewKey = NewData->CreateNewKey();
NewKey = ItemKey->MakeCopy();
DevMsg("New key name: %s\n", NewKey->GetName());
}
Key = Key->GetNextKey();
}
I end up with an empty NewData object, but my devmsg tells me the
correct values. If I do "SetString" instead of MakeCopy, it works. But I
don't want to do that... since sometimes my object has different values.
It seems that once it goes onto a new key, it loses the data assigned by
MakeCopy.

Re: [hlcoders] Updating KeyValues when iterating
I got it working by creating a non-pointer char variable and using
Q_snprintf.
I needed a copy of the KV object because my list also has columns for
other fields.
HL2 now has a working inventory system (even removes the item from the
map). Any physics object that can be picked up and thrown can also be
added to inventory. I also use a naming scheme that can be model-based
or ID-based (Hammer targetname). Works nicely.

Can you also send the code snippet for the construction of the

Re: [hlcoders] Steam gui : menu/options cusomtisation
If you wanted to extend options... that would require your own panel and code. For example, in my mod I replaced the New Game screen because it didn't fit with my mod, so I customized it, added a cool background and it doesn't even look like a Steam panel anymore... complete with button rollovers and sounds. I added a small extension to a Create a Panel tutorial that should point you in the right direction: http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/VGUI2:_Creating_a_panel For myself I changed the hide/unhide code to my liking and more "efficient" but the way it's written on the tutorial also works.

Re: [hlcoders] Keeping track of information inside the game
It will almost be a database. I'm creating an RPG mod. So I need to
store the inventory with Item IDs to reference from the Master Item
List, keep track of Active, Complete, and Abandoned Quests, etc, keep
track of the user's stats and stuff like that.
So far the first method I use works very well. It's only called when the
user wants to view his quest journal, so it isn't called every frame. I
use a HUD message to send a request to UpdateQuestInfo passing the
requested ID to update...
It only writes a temporary file when I need to save the game (I haven't
implemented this yet, but the temporary file works along with encrypting
it to keep the user from modifying it).

already coded so its a lot less work to modify it to your purpose than
to recode it from scratch.

If I wanted to keep track of a player's information... like all the
objects they've picked up throughout their game and I'd also like to
save it when they save the game, is it better to store a KeyValues
object inside the code and save it to a file when they save the game? Or
is it better to create a temporary file and then delete it when they
exit or copy it when they save the game to their save directory?
Of course, I'll be tracking a bit more than that but KeyValues seem like
the best way. I'm only at a loss at what is more efficient... if HL2 can
save large KeyValue objects, then my problem is solved... but if it
can't save large KeyValues than I will have to either use memory
(in-code tracking) or hard drive space (but... the file will only be, at
max, like 2MB, probably smaller). Then when the game loads I can load
the needed KeyValues file into an object that can be accessed in the code.
My initial plan is this, if no one has a suggestion:
When the game loads
--
1. Check to see if there is a save data file. If not, we create a new
KeyValues object in the code. If we do, load the KeyValues object.
2. During the game, update the KeyValues as necessary.
3. If the user saves the game, save the data. If not, clear it.
My only problem is figuring out how to build a KeyValues object that
looks like this:
"Data"
{
"data1"
{
"value" "1"
}
}
Using code. Ultimately no matter what I will have to figure out how to
append data or update data. I suppose I could code it like a database
with lookup functions, update functions, and delete functions.

Re: [hlcoders] GetMaxHealth
Yup, it worked. Since I set the health and max health in the Spawn function using functions from my own code, I "shared" the cpp and header files for both projects, so they are accessible from either one and are updated anytime I edit the files. :) I don't know if that's "efficient" but it relieves me of messing with the base files. Everything works fine.

the right value, it doesn't get sent properly.
