Re: [hlcoders] Re: about VGUI TOGGLEVISABILITY
--
[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ]
Try changing this (cuts out a level of indirection):
CON_COMMAND(ToggleTestPanel,NULL)
{
ToggleVisibility(test->GetPanel());
}
To this:
CON_COMMAND(ToggleTestPanel,NULL)
{
test->SetVisible(!test->IsVisible());
}
If that doesn't work, trace the con_command to see what
test->IsVisible() returns. Let me know what happens.

Re: [hlcoders] Re: about VGUI TOGGLEVISABILITY

[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ]
You can test to see if the panel is overriding key presses by bringing up
the console (~) and typing the console command there.
When you said "nothing happened" what did IsVisible() return within the
con_command?
Try making 2 con_commands: 1 sets the visibility to false and the other sets
the visibility to true. If that works, then you know the problem is not
with the panel capturing key strokes, etc.
Let me know what happens (I'm curious). :)

[hlcoders] accessing options/find servers
--
[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ]
It is possible to add the "Options" and "Find Servers" buttons to your main
menu by adding the following to your GameMenu.res file:
"[number]"
{
"label" "#GameUI_GameMenu_Options"
"command" "OpenOptionsDialog"
}
"[number]"
{
"label" "Find Servers"
"command" "OpenServerBrowser"
}
I am looking for a way to create a buttons in my own panel that, when
clicked, launches these menus. Is there a con_command that I'm missing? Or
some other way to control their visibility?
Thanks.

Re: [hlcoders] accessing options/find servers

[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ]
Thanks for the help!
I've got the server browser working by using these methods:
vgui::VPANEL GetChildByName(vgui::VPANEL parent, const char *name)
{
for(int i=0;iGetChildCount(parent);i++)
{
vgui::VPANEL child = vgui::ipanel()->GetChild(parent, i);
if(Q_strcmp(name, vgui::ipanel()->GetName(child)) == 0) return
child;
}
return NULL;
}
vgui::VPANEL GetServerBrowser()
{
vgui::VPANEL root = enginevgui->GetPanel(PANEL_ROOT);
vgui::VPANEL GameUI = GetChildByName(root, "GameUI Panel");
if(GameUI)
{
vgui::VPANEL BaseGameUI = GetChildByName(GameUI, "BaseGameUIPanel");
if(BaseGameUI)
{
vgui::VPANEL ServerBrowser = GetChildByName(BaseGameUI,
"CServerBrowserDialog");
if(ServerBrowser) return ServerBrowser;
}
}
return NULL;
}
void ToggleServerPanel()
{
vgui::VPANEL server = GetServerBrowser();
vgui::ipanel()->SetVisible(server, !vgui::ipanel()->IsVisible(server));
if(vgui::ipanel()->IsVisible(server))
vgui::ipanel()->MoveToFront(server);
}
Now I'm working on the options menu. I can get access to the GameMenu
VPANEL, but SendMessage is defined as: SendMessage(VPANEL vguiPanel,
KeyValues *params, VPANEL ifromPanel).
I'm guessing vguiPanel and ifromPanel are the GameMenu. I'm not sure of the
correct format for the params KeyValues. I tried this without success:
KeyValues *kv = new KeyValues();
kv->SetString("command", "OpenOptionsDialog")
vgui::ipanel()->SendMessage(gameMenu, kv, gameMenu);
Any ideas?

pointing to location of sound file
CRecipientFilter filter;
filter.AddAllPlayers();

[hlcoders] disabling escape
--
[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ]
We'd like to limit user's ability to access the main menu (what you see when
HL2 starts) from in-game. By default, this menu is accessed in-game through
the escape key. Our goal is to unbind the escape key so that when it is
pressed, the main menu does not appear in-game.
We've tried:
-Removing the escape binding from config.cfg
-Rebinding escape to something else in-game
-Manually disabling escape with:
int CInput::KeyEvent( int down, int keynum, const char *pszCurrentBinding )
{
//Disable escape
if(keynum == K_ESCAPE) return 0;
if ( g_pClientMode )
return g_pClientMode->KeyInput(down, keynum, pszCurrentBinding);
return 1;
}
None of the 3 attempts were successful. In the last attempt, KeyEvent(...)
returned 0, but the main menu was still accessed. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Oliver

Instead of using the gamemenu.res file to build our main menu, we are using
a fullscreen panel. This allows for customization that is not possible (to
the best of my knowledge) using the gamemenu.res file.
Since the gamemenu.res file is blank, when the user hits escape in-game,
they see a blank screen. We give in-game access to our main menu through a
custom HUD.
If that doesn't clear things up, let me know and I'll try to give a more
detailed explanation.

[hlcoders] updating server w/ client info
--
[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ]
There is some explanation required before the question, sorry for the long
text:
In our mod, we have a full-screen vgui panel serving as our HUD. It
functions similarly to World of Warcraft in that the HUD catches mouse input
unless the right-mouse button is depressed (in which case mouse input passes
through the HUD to allow mouse look).
We've implemented a feature to allow the user to move objects in the game
world by left-clicking on the object and moving the mouse while keeping the
left-mouse button depressed (remember at this point the cursor is still
displayed b/c the HUD is catching mouse input).
We're using Yahn's code (shown at bottom of the email) to find the world
position for the mouse pointer. Our problem lies in getting that
information to the server in an efficient fashion in order to update the
position of the object. Our first shot at implementation invokes a
con_command for every tick that the left-mouse button is depressed, sending
the "forward" vector from CreatePickingRay from the client to the server.
This works, but is a little buggy and it seems like we're missing something
obvious to do this better.
Anyone know a more efficient way?
Here's Yahn's code (may have slight modifications):
void CreatePickingRay(Vector& org, Vector& forward)
{
int w = ScreenWidth();
int h = ScreenHeight();
int x, y;
vgui::input()->GetCursorPos(x, y);
const VMatrix& worldToScreen = engine->WorldToScreenMatrix();
//Remap x and y into -1 to 1 normalized space
float xf, yf;
xf = ( 2.0f * x / (float)(w-1) ) - 1.0f;
yf = ( 2.0f * y / (float)(h-1) ) - 1.0f;
//Flip y axis
yf = -yf;
VMatrix screenToWorld;
MatrixInverseGeneral( worldToScreen, screenToWorld );
//Create two points at the normalized mouse x, y pos and at thenear and
far z planes (0 and 1 depth)
Vector v1, v2;
v1.Init( xf, yf, 0.0f );
v2.Init( xf, yf, 1.0f );
Vector o2;
//Transform the two points by the screen to world matrix
screenToWorld.V3Mul( v1, org ); // ray start origin
screenToWorld.V3Mul( v2, o2 ); // ray end origin
VectorSubtract( o2, org, forward );
forward.NormalizeInPlace();

[hlcoders] physics validation
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Hi all, Our mod is a tool for teachers to create event-driven games for their students. We need to evaluate the Source physics engine to determine if teachers can create physics problems with their games (i.e. there is an object with x mass, apply y force vector to that object, it will go z distance). Has anyone done tests to evaluate how closely the physics engine emulates real life? Also, the gravity constant is set for either 600 or 800 in/s^2. What was the design logic behind making this different from Earth gravity by default (or have I done my math wrong and it is the same)?

Re: [hlcoders] Client Side Text

Here's how we did it:
Create a client-side class that extends CHudElement and vgui::Panel
The Paint method is used to draw the text (fade as distance increases). The
InView method determines if the other player is in view of the local
player.
I make no claims to the elegance of this code, but it does work. :)

1) Declare as a private variable for the class:
vgui::HFont m_hFont;
Be sure to set it to a font in the constructor, we set to trebuchet:
m_hFont = g_hFontTrebuchet24;
2) Declare as a private variable for the class:
wchar_t sIDString[256];
3) You're right, code could be cleaned by moving variable declaration out of
Paint method.
Good luck!

Joel: Glad to be of assistance! Good luck with the mod.
Dest: Let's start with the simplest solution. Have you specified your class
in scripts/HudLayout.res file? Our classname is CH5UI_PlayerNames, here's
what we have in our HudLayout.res file. This sets your hud element to be
visible, positioned at 0,0 and sizes it to fit the whole screen.
CH5UI_PlayerNames
{
"fieldName" "CH5UI_PlayerNames"
"xpos""0"
"ypos""0"
"wide""640"
"tall" "480"
"visible" "1"
"enabled" "1"
}
If you have already done this, we'll keep troubleshooting from there.

Another idea is to use #ifndef and #ifdef (NOTE: this is only valid for
shared code)
So for server:
#ifndef CLIENT_DLL
CON_COMMAND(this_is_a_server_only_command, "")
{
//code
}
#endif
And for client:
#ifdef CLIENT_DLL
CON_COMMAND(this_is_a_client_only_command, "")
{
//code
}
#endif

Re: [hlcoders] VGUI messages

[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ]
Let's call your frame: frame_A and the panel in your frame: panel_A.
Make sure you are creating another message when panel_A receives a message.
So in panel_A's OnMouseEvent function, there should be code to build a new
KeyValue with the same data and PostMessage to panel_A's parent.
If you've already done all that and it still doesn't work, lemme know.

[hlcoders] KeyValues::SaveToFile(...)
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] CONTEXT: In our mod, we allow users to create event-driven worlds and save their work. Saving is done with .res files and uses KeyValues::SaveToFile(...). Some of our testers created worlds with ALOT more entities than we planned for, resulting in large res files (>2mb). PROBLEM: A 2mb file takes about 1.75 minutes to save to disk, which is way to long for users. QUESTIONS: a) Anyone know how to improve the time for SaveToFile(...)? b) Should SaveToFile(...) be faster then the times we are getting?

[hlcoders] keyvalues transfer
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] CONTEXT: In our mod, we allow users to create event-driven worlds and save their work. We deal with a large amount of data that is stored in KeyValues files. These KeyValues need to go from clients to server and server to clients regularly. PROBLEM: We couldn't find a way to transfer KeyValues, so we built a custom message passing system that runs on its own thread. This has caused many problems. QUESTION: Is there a way to transfer KeyValues from client->server and server->client without resorting to a custom system.

[hlcoders] con_command lag with multiple processors
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] CONTEXT: In our mod, the default state is to have a mouse cursor on-screen. Right-click and hold is mouselook, left-click selects entities, left-click and drag moves the selected entities. This is achieved by sending a trace client-side at the location of the mouse and sending the endpos to the server to update the position of the selected entities. This update is done every tick. PROBLEM: On some test machines, this works well. On other test machines, it works for a couple of seconds, then the position updates begin to lag worse and worse over time. The only consistency we've seen is that single core machines work and multi-core machines lag. QUESTIONS: Is this a known problem? Or are we just not optimizing well enough? Any ideas how to optimize this process?

Re: [hlcoders] con_command lag with multiple processors
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] OK good to know, we are using different processors for testing (some which are Intel). Sometimes the simplest solutions are best -- rate checking the tick at 1 per .01 second did the trick. The difference is not noticeable to our eyes. Just for my own well-being though, I'd love to hear any ideas for what could cause the lag in dual core as opposed to single core. So far my best hypothesis is that the tick function we're using (ItemPostFrame()) is called more often in dual core systems, causing too many servercmds to spawn. Thanks for the assistance.

Re: [hlcoders] keyvalues transfer
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] The client-server communication does not come from entity work. It is needed because we built an interface in HL2 for users to create event-driven games via lua scripts. The interface allows users to create pseudo-code client-side. This info is sent to the server to distribute changes made by the client to all other clients and generate the final lua script. After much testing, it turns out that our custom way of communication works as long as we keep the number of communications low. Size does not seem to play a role.

Re: [hlcoders] Crashing on Debug

(See next point for work-around). 2) If you want to build in Debug mode and run from Steam, you need to add the flag: -allowdebug 3) If you build in Release mode, you can run from Steam or Visual Studio as normal.

Re: [hlcoders] game-options-scripts
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Matt, I looked at your code for the sample options menu and it looks like it provides your users with a way to change console variables easily through a gui, which is cool. Have you had any luck re-creating the functionality of Valve's option menu? We'd love to create our own options menu that allows players to: 1) change playername (know how to do) 2) change player model (know how to do) 3) change graphics options (don't know how to do) Another question: have you had any luck modifying or finding the underlying code that runs the server browser panel? We want to provide the functionality of the server browser panel but it's look and feel doesn't match the rest of our mod at all. The only thing we really need is how to implement query that will return the list of servers and their information.

Re: [hlcoders] make client authority
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I think our best shot at this is to create a client-side only copy of the entity when the user clicks to move. Then change the copy's location to follow the mouse pointer. When the user releases the mouse click, the server-side object updates to the mouse pointer's location and the client-side copy is removed. This way the user gets a 'preview' of where the object will be moved and can cancel during the move (i.e. don't update the server-side object). Let me know if you have a different idea! Thanks.

[hlcoders] drag and drop
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] CONTEXT: We'd like to create a drag-and-drop interface for our mod. When the user drags off of a panel, the cursor changes and text/image follows the cursor as the user drags (i.e. user clicks and drags off a panel containing text "dog"; cursor changes to dog cursor and text "dog" follows cursor around). PROBLEM: The cursor change is no problem. To make the text/image follow the cursor, we create a transparent panel with a label/image, then set that panel's position to the mouse position OnTick. We've tried setting the tick to occur every .1 sec to every .001 sec but the panel still noticeably lags behind the cursor.

Re: [hlcoders] drag and drop
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] SOLUTION: For anyone still interested, the way to fix this is to update the position in the OnCursorMoved(...) event rather than in OnTick(). That's what the devs do in the built-in drag & drop code and it works for custom jobs as well. Remember to catch the OnCursorMoved event for all panels that the mouse could pass through while 'dragging'. If anyone wants more information, let me know.

[hlcoders] 2 versions of same gui
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Hi all, In our mod we want to have the same frame reachable from both the main menu (i.e. the menu you see when the game starts) and from inside the game when the game is running. I know it seems odd to do this, but it is necessary. In vgui_int.cpp, in order for a frame to show up in the main menu, we have to call (in VGui_CreateGlobalPanels): VPANEL GameUiDll = enginevgui->GetPanel( PANEL_GAMEUIDLL); CreateGui->Create(GameUiDll); In order for a frame to show up in the game, we have to call: VPANEL gameParent = enginevgui->GetPanel( PANEL_CLIENTDLL ); CreateGuiInGame->Create(gameParent); Currently CreateGuiInGame is the same code as CreateGui, just in a different class. QUESTION: Does anyone know of a slick way to have a frame able to show up in both the main menu and in the game using just one class?

If you need help seeing the call stack, write back here.
