Re: [hlcoders] Particles and Muzzle Position on EP1
You're searching for the attachment by name on the player. When it's in
thirdperson, you should probably be looking for the attachment on their weapon
model.
Your loop is crashing because you're not checking that you get a valid client
back before calling functions on the pointer.

Subject: [hlcoders] Particles and Muzzle Position on EP1
I am trying to figure out how to fix my particles so that when they emit they
show up at the end of the weapon's barrel.
Code:
CBasePlayer *pPlayer = ToBasePlayer( GetOwner() );
Vector vGunPos;
Vector vForward, vRight, vUp;
QAngle ClientEyeAngles;
ClientEyeAngles = pPlayer-EyeAngles();
AngleVectors( ClientEyeAngles, vForward, vRight, vUp );
m_nBarrelAttachment = pPlayer-LookupAttachment( muzzle );
GetAttachment( m_nBarrelAttachment, vGunPos, ClientEyeAngles );
if (pPlayer-IsDucked())
vGunPos -= (vUp * 10.0f);
else
vGunPos += (vUp * 7.5f);
vGunPos +=(vForward * 28.0f);
vGunPos += (vRight * 8.0f);
CEffectData data;
data.m_flScale = 1.0f;
data.m_vOrigin = vGunPos;
data.m_vAngles = ClientEyeAngles;
data.m_nAttachmentIndex = m_nBarrelAttachment;
DispatchEffect( MyEffect, data );
This is fine for the client, but when another user fires their weapon the
particles spawn at their feet. I have yet to find a solution, would anyone know
why? I am using EP1 engine and the part about checking to see if they are
ducked is to compensate for that...since the code doesnt act 100% right...
Anyone know what I am doing wrong or not doing at all? If I try to loop like so:
Code:
for ( int i = 1; i = gpGlobals-maxClients; ++i )
{
CHL2MP_Player *pClient = (CHL2MP_Player*) UTIL_PlayerByIndex( i );
m_nBarrelAttachment = pClient-LookupAttachment( muzzle );
GetAttachment( m_nBarrelAttachment, vGunPos, ClientEyeAngles );
}
it just crashes when I fire. Anyone ?

RE: [hlcoders] Coded Ironsights
In your view model class, find CalcViewModelView. You can change the eyePosition vector before it gets passed into SetLocalOrigin. ( or passed into the BaseClass if you have a custom view model class ) With that you can get an offset from the weapon and modify its onscreen position however you like. Eg, find a 'raised' and 'lowered' offset vector that you like and store those per weapon, and interpolate between them to fake the animation. I'd recommend making a cvar that contains a vector and shove that in so you can quickly see how its going to look ingame. This would just change the position of the model. If you want to angle the model up or down you would do a similar process but with eyeAngles. I think animating this would be a much better alternative, but if you are without artists then I suppose this is all you get.

RE: [hlcoders] TraceRay not hitting player's head
A better way to do this is to increase the size of the surrounding box
for the player. You will want to call this in your player spawn
function:
CollisionProp()-SetSurroundingBoundsType( USE_HITBOXES );
The collision property will then update the absbox whenever the entity's
angles, position or animation marks the collision as dirty. Depending on
your mod, you may have to mark the collision bounds dirty on the client
yourself, when you know the angles or origin of your client entity have
changed.
You can use ent_absbox on a player to see their server side absbox and
cl_ent_absbox to see the client version.
With this box surrounding the player, bullet tracelines should hit
hitboxes that are outside of the movement bounding box.

RE: [hlcoders] Recoil Modifications
You should only apply the punch to the view angle when not under
prediction. On the client, prediction of frames can occur an arbitrary
number of times after the first real frame is processed.
You can use:
#include prediction.h
...
if ( !prediction-InPrediction() )
{
// do recoil
}
To check when you are running in prediction.

It is supposed to simply twitch the view by a random amount. Under heavy

It seems to be a prediction bug. Any idea as to what may be the problem?

[hlcoders] lag compensation optimization
Wanted to share a fix that gave some performance improvements in the
latest Dod Source release.
bool CDODPlayer::WantsLagCompensationOnEntity( const CBasePlayer
*pPlayer, const CUserCmd *pCmd, const CBitVecMAX_EDICTS
*pEntityTransmitBits ) const
{
// No need to lag compensate at all if we're not attacking in
this command and
// we haven't attacked recently.
if ( !( pCmd-buttons IN_ATTACK ) (pCmd-command_number -
m_iLastWeaponFireUsercmd 5) )
return false;
return BaseClass::WantsLagCompensationOnEntity( pPlayer, pCmd,
pEntityTransmitBits );
}
Add this to your player class, it will inherit from
CBasePlayer::WantsLagCompensation.
What this is doing it only performing lag compensation calculations in
the frames where a player is shooting or has just shot, as opposed to
every frame.
I'll try to get this into the next sdk code dump as well as some further
lag compensation changes that will fix players getting stuck in each
other.

There is quite a lot of documentation for this at the top of
hudanimations.txt, but here's a quick example.
There are actually a few built in panel animation vars that you can use
( Alpha, FgColor ) that will do the fading for you.
You would declare a hud animation like this in your hudanimations.txt
file:
event MyLabelHide
{
Animate MyLabel Alpha 0 Linear 0.0 0.5
}
In this case, we're animating the Alpha parameter to a value of 0,
using Linear interpolation, starting 0.0 seconds from now, and ending
0.5 seconds from now. The documentation at the top of hudanimations.txt
describes the different parameters and methods of interpolating.
If you wanted to animate something else, say you had a specific colour
that you used in your panel, you would declare the member variable that
holds the colour with a CPanelAnimationVar like so:
CPanelAnimationVar( Color, m_MyColor, MyColor, 255 0 0 0 );
And then you could animate it like any other variable
event ChangeColorToBlue
{
Animate MyLabel MyColor 0 0 255 255 Linear 0.0 0.3
}
If you want to animate a size or position, you should check out
CPanelAnimationVarAliasType, which you can set up to use proportional
floats so they look the same in different resolutions.

[hlcoders] Respawn Bug fix
I've seen this particular bug in a few mods now, thought I would send
out a snippet for you guys until it can be sent out in the next SDK
update.
The problem shows up as players not respawning properly, seeming to fail
the teleport call. What's actually happening is the lag compensation
manager is teleporting them to their previous location for a lag
compensation check, then failing to restore them. If you think you have
this problem in your mod, give this change a try.
dlls\Player_lagcompensation.cpp
~ line 351
Change the while loop to look like this:
// store our previous origin - to start with it is our current
location
Vector prevOrg = pPlayer-GetLocalOrigin();
// Walk context looking for any invalidating event
while( track-IsValidIndex(curr) )
{
// remember last record
prevRecord = record;
// get next record
record = track-Element( curr );
if ( !(record-m_fFlags LC_ALIVE) )
{
// player most be alive, lost track
return;
}
Vector delta = record-m_vecOrigin - prevOrg;
if ( delta.LengthSqr()
LAG_COMPENSATION_TELEPORTED_DISTANCE_SQR )
{
// lost track, too much difference
return;
}
// did we found a context smaller then target time ?
if ( record-m_flSimulationTime = flTargetTime )
break; // hurra, stop
// store this position for the next time through the
loop
prevOrg = record-m_vecOrigin;
// go one step back
curr = track-Next( curr );
}
This fixes the distance check not being applied to the first stored
position in the lag compensation history.

Its ok that the player does not have a move parent. In that case it should fall back to pl.v_angle, which is most likely not networked for other clients to your local client.

Subject: [hlcoders] Need help with custom fonts please
So I made my own font, put it my mod's resource folder, edited
ClientScheme.res and nothing works. I'm having lots of trouble with the
redundant unnecessary scripting stuff.
Here is my virtual font I scripted
HudText
{
1
{
name newfont
tall 32
weight0
antialias 1
additive 1
custom3
}
}
The reason I had to make this thing is because halflife hud font doest
have letters and I wanted to add a letter or two into my hud without
changing the hl2 font. So I made my new font called newfont which is
just the hl2 font with the letters I needed which replaces some of those
weapon symbols, then I added what would appear to be like the correct
stuff at the bottom of the ClientScheme.res file
CustomFontFiles
{
1 resource/HALFLIFE2.ttf
1 resource/HL2MP.ttf
2 resource/HL2crosshairs.ttf
3 resource/newfont.ttf
}
Now, I am probably missing something somewhere, but before I extract
every script file from the .GCF pack and do a massive search for text in
files to compare what I may be or may not be missing, I figured I would
just ask here because im becoming very frustrating with these scripts. I
don't even like scripts. I'm going to have to figure out a way to
unscripted most everything because I don't want the server admins
changing the weapon values etc.. etc.. or the clients messing up their
gui/huds. Anyway, if someone could tell me how to add a new font, I
would appreciate it. And lets not even talk about compiling VTF files
because I'll blow up! I really hate TGA files, can't we just got back to
bitmaps and sprites, what the hell is a shader, lol. I'm going to start
needing hl2-sdk antidepressant pills.

You should check out the hud animation system, this allows you to start changes in colour or size that will run in the background for you.

Not sure if it is just my configuration, or an actual bug. Could somebody with a laptop or access to a laptop (valve?) please try to recreate this. If I go into observer mode, say in CS:S, I can press the duck key (for me 'C') but could be anything, to open the bottom menu where I can chose who to spectate etc. Usually you then press the duck key again to close the bottom menu. For me, in my mod, pressing the duck key after the menu is open returns a key code of CODE_KEYPAD_3 or similar (can't remember the exact one). It is the numeric keypad number 3, or on my laptop the Fn L key. So, if I actually press the numeric 3 key instead of the duck key, it closes the menu, whereas pressing duck does nothing. So, duck opens it but does not close it, and numeric keypad 3 closes it but does not open it. For some reason having the bottom menu open causes the duck key to return something different.

RE: [hlcoders] Player animation ?
HL2DM player animation uses a different system than is in the sdk.
Basically you have a list of base sequences, preblended with 9-way aims
and 9-way runs - those are the aim animations and are called in game
code via activities ( why you see different animation names in combine
vs rebels ).
Shooting is done by adding the fire animation as a gesture over top of
the base sequence.
For Dod we're doing a hybird, with the activities on base sequence and
fire/reload/hand signal gestures over top, but non-networked like the
sdk does it to reduce net traffic.
I would recommend moving at least to using activities for your player
animations so avoid all the nasty string construction and comparing.
As far as your animations only playing the first and last frame, this
function doesn't appear to be causing that. I would check with a a
different model/sequence to see if it's a problem in your model.

Subject: [hlcoders] Player animation ?
I'm trying to get player animation working with some non-CS models.
Specifically, I'd like to get animations working with the models used in
HL2DM. I used model viewer to load up the combine models from HL2DM and
some of the resistance models from HL2DM.
Not only are their animations totally different from CS, they're
different from each other. The combine models have different animations
than the resistance models. I've been working on converting the
animation names in sdk_playeranimstate.cpp to call the animations in
combine_solder.mdl, which I think is the one used in HL2DM.
I've run into some problems with this though.
First off, there's doesn't seem to be any walking or running shooting
animations. There are animations like ShootSGs, ShootSGc, ShootSMG1s,
ShootSMG1c, etc but there's no walk_upper_mp5 or run_upper_mp5 like in
the CS models. There doesn't seem to be any animation to be running and
shooting at the same time.
Second, the animations seem to only play the first frame and then stop.
For example, I changed CalcFireLayerSequence to look like this:
int CSDKPlayerAnimState::CalcFireLayerSequence(PlayerAnimEvent_t event)

I've set my player model to be combine_soldier. When I spawn in third
person and watch my player model, if I run along start shooting it looks
like it plays only the first frame or two and then immediately goes back
to idle/jittering. If I'm running, it looks even worse since each time I
fire it looks like it restarts the ShootSMG1animation but there's no
blending between them so it looks all jittery. Has anyone had any luck
getting this to work?

RE: [hlcoders] Bone manipulation via code
An example in the sdk code would be the yaw and pitch pose parameters
for making the player model look up/down and to the side. The pose
parameters are body_pitch and body_yaw.
In base_playeranimstate.cpp:
void CBasePlayerAnimState::ComputePoseParam_BodyPitch()
{
// Get pitch from v_angle
float flPitch = m_flEyePitch;
if ( flPitch 180.0f )
{
flPitch -= 360.0f;
}
flPitch = clamp( flPitch, -90, 90 );
// See if we have a blender for pitch
int pitch = GetOuter()-LookupPoseParameter( body_pitch );
if ( pitch 0 )
return;
SetOuterPoseParameter( pitch, flPitch );
g_flLastBodyPitch = flPitch;
}
..
void CBasePlayerAnimState::SetOuterPoseParameter( int iParam, float
flValue )
{
GetOuter()-SetPoseParameter( iParam, flValue );//
GetOuter() is the player
}
You can define new pose parameters in the .qc file for your model to
control blending between two sequences. See the definitions of body_yaw
in the .qc for more info on that.
For attachment points, search for GetAttachment. There are a number of
ways to get an attachment point's location and angles by name. Most
common would be:
Vector vecOrigin;
Qangle vecAngle;
int iAttachmentIndex = pMyModel-LookupAttachment(
attachment_name );
pMyModel-GetAttachment( iAttachmentIndex, vecOrigin, vecAngle
);

Reason for all this is that the model has to follow specific movements

I guess this can be done with the 'pose parameters' you spoke about.
I found some references about the speedometer needle defined by pose

So, how to set such things up and how to access them via code?
Any basic tutorials or descriptions about these parts of the SDK out

RE: [hlcoders] ServerSide HitBox Drawing (won't work the way it should)
This is certainly a way to do it. However I think you'll find that drawing that many TE boxes will overflow the client.

(At first sry 4 my bad English) I am trying to code a serverside Metamod fun plugin, it has already many standard stuff (can manipulate entities at runtime, show info about what you are aiming at (iHitGroup and so on), makeing players glow, spawn and prechache entities at runtime (a little bit buggy), list entities, ...). At the time I am trying to code a function to makes clients display specific hitboxes that are aligned to the player model. I hoped to get access to them like sub entities, so that I only would have to change some rendering properties. That should have looked like the client one engine_studio_api_s::StudioDrawHulls( ); (used when typing r_drawentities 3 in console, see StudioModelRenderer.cpp). But I guess this function alters the way things are drawn on the client and does not set entvars, doesn't it? If there is a way to draw the boxes like the one i searched above, please let me know. This plugin is made for working with the Counter-Strike mod. What the function does now is basically this: 1. It retrives the model pointer: studiohdr_t *pstudiohdr; pstudiohdr = (studiohdr_t*)GET_MODEL_PTR( ENT(pPlayer-pev) ); 2. Accesses HitBox and Bone data mstudiobbox_t *hitbox = (mstudiobbox_t *)((byte *)pstudiohdr + pstudiohdr-hitboxindex + (iBoxIndex * sizeof(mstudiobbox_t) )); int iBone = hitbox-bone; mstudiobone_t *bone = (mstudiobone_t *)((byte *)pstudiohdr + pstudiohdr-boneindex + (iBone * sizeof(mstudiobone_t) )); // just 4 displaying bone name 3. Gets Bone Position by using an engine function: GET_BONE_POSITION( ENT(pPlayer-pev), iBone, origin, angles ); The problem here is that the angles that are returned are completly crap. Also getting angles through BoneControllers won't work, cause the bones seem to have none set (?). 4. It transforms the angles and calulates the 8 points of the hitbox I don't know why but the boxes have to be rotated by 90 degrees here and also I can only correct the headbox according to viewangles, cause I don't get any other angles :( (also I draw the height of the origin either to low or to high (~ half of the box's height)) 5. It draws them using TE_LINE messages (by drawing a box with lines, TE_BOX can't be rotaed :( Also this makes the lines rest on their last position of course :( I'll try a summary of my questions: (If there is a answer for 1. you can forget about 2,3 and 4 please :) 1. Is there a better way to make the client draw specific hitboxes of the players (I tried to find one that worked but had no success :( (I don't mean this sv_cheats 1 r_drawentities 3 crap, I mean for example accessing the boxes like edict_t or entvars_s :) 2. How can I retrieve the correct angles (I know these must be near to the original values that are returned by GET_BONE_POSITION but I don't know how to get a pointer to the model transform data). 3. Is there a better way to draw the boxes? (Especially can they be moved realtive to the player without having to send messages all the time) 4. Should I give up? I hope this text is not too long, but I didn't find answers that could help me any further in the old hitbox posts and also google/thewavelength.net didn't help much :( I would be very thankfull if anyone out there could help me please and I also hope that I have posted to the right mailing list.

RE: [hlcoders] ServerSide HitBox Drawing (won't work the way it should)
Here's a snippet that I use to draw server side boxes in DoD. I have it
restricted to only draw on client 2, and only if developer 2 is on.
Put this at the bottom of SV_StudioSetupBones in animation.cpp in the
game dll.
The code above will have retrieved the bone information for you. DrawBox
is a function that draws a box when sent an array of 8 vertices, and the
r, g, b values of the colour to draw it with. It uses TE_LINES and is
quite inefficient, I'll leave it to you to write a better one :) Also I
only draw overy other hitbox - the ( i % 2 == 0 ) part.
Looking over this, you could probably speed it up quite a bit. Some
ideas would be sending a vector for angle, one for origin, one for mins
and one for maxs instead of trying to send all 8.
//Only draw hitboxes on entity with index 2
//and if developer is 2 or more
if( developer developer-value = 2
pEdict == g_engfuncs.pfnPEntityOfEntIndex(2) )
{
mstudiobbox_t *pbbox;
vec3_t tmp;
vec3_t p[8];
int i,j;
pbbox = (mstudiobbox_t *)((byte *)g_pstudiohdr
+ g_pstudiohdr-hitboxindex);
for (i = 0; i g_pstudiohdr-numhitboxes; i++)
{
//get the vector positions of the 8 corners of
the bounding box
for (j = 0; j 8; j++)
{
tmp[0] = (j 1) ? pbbox[i].bbmin[0] :
pbbox[i].bbmax[0];
tmp[1] = (j 2) ? pbbox[i].bbmin[1] :
pbbox[i].bbmax[1];
tmp[2] = (j 4) ? pbbox[i].bbmin[2] :
pbbox[i].bbmax[2];
VectorTransform( tmp,
(*g_pBoneTransform)[pbbox[i].bone], p[j] );
}
//Only draw every other hitbox
if( i % 2 == 0 )
DrawBox( p, 255, 0, 0 );
}
}

Subject: Re: [hlcoders] ServerSide HitBox Drawing (won't work the way it

Thank you for your fast answer.
yes I already had the problem with oveflowing the client with TE_LINE
messages but it only caused s.th. like lag and a warning message in
console.
Only drawing the important ones is a good idea, at the time the function
is called form an console command and gets an index which box to draw.
I hope I'll find where the correct angles are stored, cause like I said
GET_BONE_POSITION( ENT(pPlayer-pev), iBone, origin, angles ); doesn't
return the correct ones, only the positions are usefull.
Is the origin form the middle of the hitbox or from one of its edges? (I
asumed form the middle but If not that would explain a minor
origin-height problem of my drawing function.)
I plan to let the lines of a box last 7 seconds and draw every second a
new box (form an selectable player and a selectable hitboxindex).
So you can make an Screenshot and see how they moved on the server :)
Here is an example screenshot of the function in work:
http://home.arcor.de/matrixstorm/files/cstrike/msmod0001.jpg
This Screenshot has been taken on our ClanServer and as you can see my
crapy drawing function calcluates an incorrect hight.
But the horizontal difference is not an mistake, this seems to be a
problem since 1.6, I checked that by using the trace function and it
reported that there is an head-hitbox on the server (as you can see on
the screenshot too).
(could be that when player starts to change his angle a message to the
clients is sent and is not correctly updated when
finished?)
greetings
PS: also i wonder why the shieldbox (number 20) is calculated even if
you haven't a shield but that doesn't matter :)

Which model is shown in a dod_control_point for each state is determined by the mapper, but if they use the standard - models\mapmodels\flags.mdl: Bodygroup model 0 Axis 1 Allies 2 British 3 Uncapped 4 Axis small flag 5 Allies small flag 6 British small flag 7 Uncapped small flag -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian A. Stumm Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2004 4:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [hlcoders] dod_control_point and v.body Am I correct in assuming that v.body for the entity dod_control_point tells me what flag is being displayed? I'm guessing 0 means noone controls the point and 1 means us-inf or axis-inf and 3 is the other. Can someone tell me what number goes to what team if my theory here is correct? ___ 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

Subject: [hlcoders] DoD pPlayer-v.playerclass
v.playerclass is reporting MANY numbers under DoD (in the 30s at least).
This makes sense to me since sometimes you are axis or allied or brit
etc.
But is there someway for me to translate the class number to a class
name?
Or can someone tell me what number goes to what class?
