Re: [hlcoders] void CTripmineGrenade::Spawn( void ) linux crash orangebox stock code.......
Functions like that don't always return a pointer, and can just return null.
Check the function to see why it returned null.

I just did some more digging (gdb is still active on crashed process).
It seems that in grenade_ tripmine, (and evwhere else)
VPhysicsInitNormal is called with 3 arguments. But in
baseentity_shared.cpp (only place coded) VPhysicsInitNormal has 4
arguments? I am more confused. I guess somewhere VPhysicsInitNormal is
overided, but it is hard to debug?

Re: [hlcoders] String_base error
The source code doesn't officially support Visual Studio 2010, not even VS 2008. Your best bet is probably to use Visual C++ 2005 (Express if you don't have a license).

Hey Jon,
I actually even tried using the files from my GE:S folder with no luck.
Either way, even if those files aren't there, the default HL2 logo

appear (I even deleted the materials/VGUI/maps folder from gesource and
servers still showed up with the default HL2 logo). In our case, nothing

If I toggle Show Map List off, get a server list, then toggle it back
on,
it'll work. But as soon as I hit refresh (or if I launch the game with it

What did you guys use as a starting point for the code base? We're using
HL2DM on SDK Base 2007.

What did you guys use as a starting point for the code base? We're using

When I did the profiling it was really helpful because most of CPU load was in the networking in the engine because I sent too much. What's really cool in VTune/CodeAnalyst is checking how much on average each instruction in C++/asm took.

Nick, I thought you said you would never post on here again. Shame you
didn't keep to that.
Anyway, I think its good to write something to help others, and even better
that its open-source. Its a good way to get stuff on your CV when looking
for work, etc. Hammer isn't released as open-source because its a product
that is sold (part of each game that's bought); it's hardly comparable.

Hi, my name is Jonas 'Sortie' Termansen and I intend to make a free
software alternative to VBCT released under the GNU General Public
License.
VBCT ('Valve' Batch Compile Tool) was developed by qUiCkSiLvEr and it is
one of the most useful tools I have used for modding. It's a batch
compile tool that allows me to compile maps outside of Hammer, which is
much faster.
Unfortunately the VBCT development has come to a halt and the developer
has been recently employeed full time. There has been no new release of
VBCT since early 2009. And the developer didn't want to make his source
code available when I asked him.
My vision is to create an user-friendly general purpose batch compile
tool for Source Mods. It should be written in pure C++ and licensed
under a free software license such as the GNU GPL. It should be
developed in union with the modding community.
I will start hacking the basics together as soon as I have sent this
email and commit the sources to the Maxsi Distribution SVN later on.
http://www.maxsi.dk/upload/data/sortie/MaxsiCompile-1.0.zip
Feel free to contact me via the following services if you are interested
in the project and would like to be part of its development. I would
also like to hear on this list what features you would like from the
ideal batch compile tool for Valve's Map.
SteamId: Sortie
MSN: Sortie at Maxsi dot dk
Also, Valve broke batch compiling when they released the OB engine,
though a workaround is known. I have created a simple GPL-licensed batch
system that programmers should have no trouble using if they set it up
properly. It's not my actual batch compile tool, but only a proof it's
possible.

About me:
I am a highly skilled programmer with years of experience writing native
C++ programs. I am currently working on a free software digital
distribution platform platform for mods called Maxsi Distribution. I am
involved with the development of City17: Episode One part time. I
currently study high level Physics, Math, and Chemistry at my high
school and intend to study Computer Science later on.

Looking at FileSystem_Init(...) in utils\common\filesystem_tools.cpp:152, there's an assertion that some sort of command-line set-up has already been performed. I'm concerned that if I pursue this route (the one followed in the demoinfo utility) with a test .exe it may work fine and then come back and bite me later when it's not something launched from a console. Can anybody shed some light on this? I'm trying to manage information like: Does mod X have file Y on-disk or inside an archive once I have the gameinfo file or vconfig environment settings.

Re: [hlcoders] Duplicated Tracers
Sounds like prediction is causing frames on the client to play multiple times, you might want to look into where the shells are being spawned, and add a check something like the following: #if defined( CLIENT_DLL ) if ( prediction-InPrediction() !prediction-IsFirstTimePredicted() ) return; #endif This code will cause the function to return if the frame is being run more than once due to the prediction code. I think a problem like this was posted before on the list, with the same resolution. Olly 2009/12/18 Jonathan White killermonke...@gmail.com Actually, we have also noticed this issue but also with duplicate shells being ejected from the gun. I narrowed it down to being an animation event issue. I think that animation events are being queued up TWICE per shot. I haven't had the time to narrow it down further, but my suspicion is it has to do with the addition of the use of the PlayerAnimState classes and doubling up animation calls when that was implemented since we did not have this problem prior to updating to the latest SDK code back in August.

Re: [hlcoders] Writing my own Goldsrc... :)
Is pLabel NULL ?
2009/11/16 Pagefile SYS nbjk...@gmail.com
I'm writing my own program which uses Half-Life client and server DLLs.
I started with loading client.dll and call Initialize function passing
pointer to cl_enginefunc_s filled completely with zeros and then I
call HUD_Init.
Then I watched where does client.dll crash trying to call engine
funcs, and I started implementing these funcs in my program one by
one... These funcs are now implemented:
pfnHookUserMsg - stub, returns 0
pfnHookEvent - stub, returns 0
GetClientTime - implemented, returns time since program startup
pfnAddCommand - stub, returns 0
pfnRegisterVariable - implemented, addt new crar_s to list and returns
pointer to it
CheckParm - stub, returns 0
Con_DPrintf - implemented, prints to log file
pfnGetCvarPointer - implemented, looks for cvar_s in the list
pfnGetGameDirectory - implemented, returns FULL path to my mod directory
:)
pfnGetScreenInfo - implemented as:
int CLEF_GetScreenInfo( SCREENINFO *pscrinfo )
{
pscrinfo-iWidth = 1024;
pscrinfo-iHeight = 768;
pscrinfo-iSize = 1;
pscrinfo-iFlags = 0;
pscrinfo-iCharHeight = 1;
for ( int i = 0; i 256; i++ )
pscrinfo-charWidths[i] = 1;
return 1;
}
pfnSPR_GetList - implemented, loads sprite list from my mod or valve
directory
pfnSPR_Load - stub, returns 1
COM_LoadFile - implemented, reads whole file to buffer
COM_FreeFile - implemented, frees the passed buffer
My program crashes in voice_status.cpp CVoiceStatus::Init on line 220:
pLabel-m_pBackground = new Label();
It seems like stack going corrupted here because debugger then shows
like program crashed in status_icons.cpp CHudStatusIcon::Init on line
38:
return 1;
The program most likely crashes somewhere in vgui.dll. Do I need
perform any initialization of VGUI before loading client?
I'm using Half-Life SDK 2.3 and Half-Life 1.1.2.0

The last time it was discussed the solution given was to predict: http://www.mail-archive.com/hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com/msg21121.html This is a bad idea though, because it causes the projectile to materialise several feet in front of the firer on observers' computers (contrary to what Tony said at the time, TF2 does NOT predict rockets/grenades). The problem is that the projectile is spawned as soon as the client receives it, irrespective of interpolation, and then (correctly) does not start to move until interp catches up. You can change the length of the delay by increasing the interp period; decreasing host_timescale makes spotting the difference easier. I've run tests and discovered that /all/ of Valve's games are affected by this issue, including TF2. I've not compiled the SDK template game but I expect it also suffers. The solution is clear: prevent the projectile's clientside representation from spawning until the interpolated world is ready.

Re: [hlcoders] 64-bit binaries?
You cant change an executable's architecture by using a startup argument. It would need to be recompiled. I've never tried to have a 64-bit dynamicly linked dll (client/server.dll) linked with a 32bit exe, so I don't know if it would even work (I assume it wouldnt as dlls share memory space with the exe, and as 64bit uses longer pointers it might conflict). I don't think valve ever released 64bit client binaries, I think when there was some talk about valve doing 64bit it was just for srcds only.

Re: [hlcoders] Game Content
If its in the EULA (which I think it is) that says that you cannot use unmounted content. Then you just shouldn't unless you have consent from Valve. Downloading music is illigal, and that's just copying data. I also wouldn't make any money from doing so. Emailing them would have been a much easier/accurate way to get an answer. 2009/5/14 Saul Rennison saul.renni...@gmail.com If it is actually illegal Valve will confront you and politely ask you to remove the copyrighted content, then when you do everything's OK. No trouble! 2009/5/14 Jonas 'Sortie' Termansen hlcod...@maxsi.dk Technically, you are not stealing from Valve by making a copy of their works, if they don't lose anything, which the clause that you only use a small portion of their content includes, because the content cannot substitute CS:S, and then it won't affect their sales, thus it can quality as Fair Use under the US Copyright laws. But it's still untested in court, and will vary on a case basis, and I am not an US copyright expert. The same argument goes for editing the content. Again, note that I don't recommend doing this, but if it's legal due to Fair Use, and you only use small amounts of content, it will be much faster for the mod to load the content from its own folder, instead of adding another search path, which increases loadtimes. Oh and be careful when mounting .GCFs from code and not the gameinfo.txt, I had some experience that some people couldn't launch the mod successfully, even if they had the .GCF I was mounting.

Then if you modify a few models, you can simply make some replacements in your own mod folder that will override the CS:S content. If you want a more questionable method that allows everyone to play your mod (and faster because you don't have to mount another .gcf file or two), you can simply extract the few models you wish to edit and their materials, and put them in your mod's folder. This way you don't depend on any extra .gcf files or that people have CS:S installed. This should work fine for small amounts of content. While untested in court, it could qualify for Fair Use because: - You only included small amounts of Valve's copyrighted works - The content required at least one of Valve's products - The content used doesn't include the whole CS:S and doesn't limit Valve's sales, because the content isn't CS:S - You do not earn any money from their works - (You edited their works to some degree) - (I have never heard of Valve having any complaints about this, as long as the above is true, despite the EULA probably saying otherwise) Again, whether it's legal or advised to extract and ship the contents of a GCF file, the perfectly safe but annoying way of doing it is mounting the CSS GCF file, but the way you do it is up to you. - Original Message - From: Yaakov Smith m4ngr...@gmail.com To: 'Discussion of Half-Life Programming' hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Sent: Thursday, May 14, 2009 12:09 PM Subject: [hlcoders] Game Content Example: I want to mess with CS:S models and include modifications of the said models in my mod.

Re: [hlcoders] Game Content
I meant email valve directly. Not post on the list. But it still depends on products purchased from Valve in order to function. That statement is not valid, since Microsoft Office requires Windows which is a Microsoft product, but I'm sure if I took some images/icons or something from Office, and used them in my own open source app Microsoft would have something to say about it. I don't think any of us here are lawyers (maybe there is), so most of this discussion is based on opinion, or what you think is right. Its irrelevant if you think it should be allowed or not; It's not up-to any of us to decide, as none of us have bought a redistrobution license to the assets. As I said before, if you are in doubt, just email someone who looks like they could deal with this kind of thing from the valve staff page, as you are never going to get a definitive answer here! 2009/5/14 Rodrigo 'r2d2rigo' Diaz r2d2r...@gmail.com b) Do any of the Source game packs that allow you to play a mod made with the SDK *not* include CSS these days? Orange Box doesn't, nor does L4D ;) 2009/5/14 Jed j...@wunderboy.org Yeah but... a) You need another Source game to be able to play the mod anyway so Valve are getting a sale right here. b) Do any of the Source game packs that allow you to play a mod made with the SDK *not* include CSS these days? I'd say that maybe 85% of the time someone with the relevant base games to play your mod probably has CSS installed anyway. If you want to use CSS content in an unmodified form, then yes, just mount the GCF and make it a requirement for the mod. If you're making derived model then it will be necessary to ship with your mod. I think as well you have to think a bit beyond he stole my bike! - stopping this kind of derivative work stifles innovation and puts people off modding. I'd say at least 75% of the mods I've seen out there use modified content from other Source games in one form or another. As it's being used for a Source game, your in a way keeping it in the family and there's also the follow on of tying a playing to Steam, exposure to other games and maybe leading to more sales. Also don't forget that games like CSS, DoDS and TF2 all started out as mods. It's not in Valves interest to stifle this kind of derivative work - especially when its non-profit and could potentially lead them to their next-big-hit. As I said, I think Valve get this and are forward thinking enough to see that this sort of incestuous breeding of content across their games is actually a good thing. - Jed 2009/5/14 Julian Moschüring ar...@gmx.com: I agree, but your second point implies that you mount, in this case, the CS:S content, which was the question which started this thread. :-) Perhaps one of the main reason someone plays your mod is that the models are so great. If you don't mount the CS:S content you would take money from valve because if you had mounted it some people would have bought CS:S to play your mod... mmh I would mount the content and publish the mod with the model. You could also check if the content is mountable and if not use some standard model instead of the CS:S ones. Jed schrieb: I think the great questions are: Is it hurting them? Is it worth them taking legal action? As has been pointed out, if you are just borrowing a few low-key (i.e not character/player) models such as props you're not really giving away the whole CSS game nor are you really damaging sales. Secondly, if borrowing a few models helps you get your free mod out the door, it might well prompt a player to purchase say the Orange Box to be able to play your mod - $$$ for Valve. Thirdly, the legal costs of taking any modder to task for borrowing a few props for his Source mod is going to be far in excess of their market value. From my experience of dealing with Valve first hand I like to think their a level headed bunch of chaps and their attitude is that if you're not taking the piss with borrowed/reworked content or using it outside of a Source mod then it's acceptable. Of course that's my opinion and not fact. Then again I think it's a sad reflection on the litigious society of today if a few modders would be stomped on from trying to learn and innovate for fear of legal repercussion. - Jed 2009/5/14 Jonas 'Sortie' Termansen hlcod...@maxsi.dk: Technically, you are not stealing from Valve by making a copy of their works, if they don't lose anything, which the clause that you only use a small portion of their content includes, because the content cannot substitute CS:S, and then it won't affect their sales, thus it can quality as Fair Use under the US Copyright laws. But it's still untested in court, and will vary on a case basis, and I am not an US copyright expert. The same

Then make a variable in the Trigger_Checkpoint called int_RoundOfThisTrigger (that can be edited through hammer, see .fgd). Then in the Touch Function of Trigger_Checkpoint, dynamically cast the baseentity* and see if it's a player. If it is a player, then check if the pPlayer-int_Rounds = int_RoundsOfThisTrigger-1, and if it is, then set pPlayer-int_Rounds = intRoundsOfThisTrigger. Of course, the logic has to be expanded, so when the player reaches the goal, the int_Rounds is set to Zero again. But that should be straightforward. Of course, it could be done with some advanced in-map entity input/output, but it's much simpler (and more reliable) to do it via programming.

Re: [hlcoders] Server CVars
There is a way to get a list of cvars from the server using the query
interface. I don't remember how it works, and i'm at work so I cant get an
example now.
But if you get it working, you may notice that linux servers (I don't know
if windows ones do it now also) seem to have the packet contents bzip'd
before its sent down the tubes.

Then probably not. Other than whats provided via the query response servers
give back (player count, timelimit, etc). I also don't know off the top of

Yep, at least from a VSP environment, simply call:

if (hostName) {

You can also call GetInt() and a few others on the convar to interpret it

Yes, running a blank hl2mp mod is probably the best idea. Although, I don't even know if that that works out of the box.

Not much of a surprise, given that one was used to generate the other. I can also confirm that there's definately no network tables inside windows-only defines. Lastly, I tried hosting a TF2 server, and the build numbers shown in the console were the same as with my mod, so that's definately not to blame either. What else could be causing the Server uses different class tables disconnect, and only for the linux server? I haven't got the slightest idea at this point.

Turns out the error was down to the way I'd linked the sqlite dll, that had been one of the things I'd thought of, but it seems that I hadn't removed the sqlite header include from one file, and that was messing things up. Now I have a server that I can try to connect to, but when I try to connect, very near the end of the process I get disconnected with the error: Server uses different class tables Normally I'd have expected this to say which network table / value was missing or incorrect, but there's nothing. I'm pretty damn sure all the same files are being used by linux as by Visual studio; I've been through my makefiles many times over. I really can't see anything thats in one not the other, though I guess its possible I'm being dumb here. I can't find any network tables that are within #ifdef _WIN32 or anything like that - strikes me that would be a bit ridiculous if it were the case anyway. Anyone run into this error with a linux server? One thing that I do notice - when I try to connect to the linux server, it lists its Build version as 3691, but when I run a listen server, it says its Build 3704. Now I've repeatedly run the update commands for the linux server, but its not loading any other updates. Could this version issue be behind my network table issue, or is that just the way its meant to be?

Re: [hlcoders] mod randomly stops drawing viewmodels of weapons.
Ask them to type cl_predictionlist (assuming you are using CPredictedViewmodel) they should see 'viewmodel' or 'predicted_viewmodel' in the list. If not, chances are (not always, see below), the entity has been removed for some reason (check code?). There is probobly better ways of checking for an entity but i'm at work at the moment and don't have my code open. 2009/1/23 Yorg Kuijs yorg.ku...@home.nl Hey list, weird issue some testers of my mod have been having, I only got this like once a long time ago, I also seen it happen several times in the mod Smashball so I know I'm not the only one who has this bug. at random times it stops drawing the viewmodels for some players, they can still use their weapons but simply can't see what they're holding! After respawn or round changes it sometimes works again, only to randomly stop drawing viewmodels again. I've asked them to check the command for drawing viewmodel's but that's on(I think it's also a cheat so it can't be turned off anyway...) I looked at the wavelength(which is flooded with spam on the forums...) and steam forums, no info on it. Anybody here know what's causing it? If I had any idea what triggers it then I could track it and hopefully fix it, but it apperently happens randomly, sometimes when they get flashed, sometimes when they're throwing a grenade, sometimes when they're simply walking around, the problem seems so random and there's only like 2 or 3 testers who get it often, for the rest of us it's a really rare bug. ___ 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
Re: [hlcoders] Technical Design Document or Quick Reference Guide?
Microsoft already tried to compete with STEAM, it was called Games for windows - Live... and it sucked. Again they tried to charge a subscription which failed epicly. I much prefer engines that are written in C++, they are much MUCH more powerful than having to 1) Learn the syntax/structure of the in-house language 2) Hack your way round doing the simplest of things that you could do with open source C libraries. 2009/1/11 Nick xnicho...@gmail.com I am not Valve, I do not work for Valve, but I like Valve, and like a good friend I like to point out where I think they go wrong. There is no such technical design document for source, available to the modders, but I suspect there is such a design document if you pay for a license. Valve is a good company, and has excellent people. But the top games released for source have been made exclusively by and for Valve. The source engine is powerful and highly adaptable, if you work for Valve. I think other engines are designed to be easier to understand because the other major game engines are being used by people outside the original company. Quake/id and Bioshock/ut3 and america's army/ut3 are some examples I can think of here. Source engine is powerful if you know how to use it, Valve people are the only ones who know how to use it properly. That isn't going to change unless Valve invests heavily in making it more open or documenting it more. ( not anytime within the next 3 years). UT3 engine is equally powerful, but epic games has gone to great lengths to make it easier to use, and highly documented. Also actively encourages scripting instead of forcing everyone to use c++ like valve does. Bioshock/Americas Army/Gears of War 2. Look at the material editor that comes with ue3 http://hourences.com/book/tutorialsue3mated.htm includes shaders also from almost one and half years ago! http://www.unrealtechnology.com/features.php?ref=editor I hope valve seriously thinks about open sourcing the tools, formats, and making the engine available on linux. Unless valve thinks it can exist only by relying on steam sales/distribution. Eventually microsoft will make steam obsolete(by creating a steamlike replacement for windows7) or buy valve out entirely, which is probably bad for most people working for valve, but good for the owners :P On Sat, Jan 10, 2009 at 10:29 PM, Walter Gray chrysal...@gmail.com wrote: I want to preface this by saying I know it's probably a kind of silly thing to be asking for, but on the other hand I feel it would would be stupendously useful.

Really, any single document that lays out, in a concise fashion, the general structure of the most commonly used systems, what base classes they use, and enough about how they are supposed to work for someone to start messing with them. It seems to me that the general approach for mod developers has been to use the code itself as the documentation and ask the community or check the wiki if they find something they don't understand. This, unfortunately, means that there's no easy way to get new developers on a team familiar with the engine, which is what I'm aiming to do. I've looked around, and there doesn't seem to be anything like this. Am I missing something, or does it not exist, and if it doesn't, why not? It seems like it's the kind of thing that would cut down on a lot of confusion for new mod programmers and encourage 3rd party Source development in general. ___ 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

Re: [hlcoders] Orange Box bot plugin - SVN available - anyone willing to contribute?
You really need to learn the facts before making statements like you do. If someone posted any CLOSED source code of valve, it would be off very quick. And chances are, you wouldn't even know about it. Do you even know how many open-source projects that are based on the sdk exist already? It would seem you don't. Anyone can download the source SDK from steam, as many times as you want, and within reason, you can do what you like with it (as-long as its no profit). The SDK is posted up on numerous websites. Did you also get a written confirmation from valve that they hate open-source? 2008/12/23 Nick xnicho...@gmail.com Because valve hates open source with a vengeance, and also some one posted the entire valve source sdk onto sourceforge??

Re: [hlcoders] Best way to mod scratch SDK
Yea, that one :D 2008/12/22 Skyler Clark sky3...@comcast.net From an actual game architecture perspective I agree with you, but for ease of development I don't. CSDKPlayer is like a second layer BasePlayer. It provides the basics, as you say. If you wanted to keep it at the same level, you should make your own extension to the BasePlayer and just copy over any code that you are going to use. If you're just renaming it you are just accomplishing the same thing as extending the class (you get all the same functionality), but your code will mixed in and hard to maintain. Extending will provide one extra level of inheritence which will provide no noticable difference in performance but will allow your code base to be cleaner and more easily maintained. -Skyler Clark On Sun, Dec 21, 2008 at 7:27 PM, Tony Sergi to...@valvesoftware.com wrote: Olly is right though. The SDK layer is the same level as CCSPlayer, CTFPlayer, CPortalPlayer, CHL2MPPlayer, etc. The most ideal thing to do would be to either just leave it as CSDKPlayer for porting later, or replace all SDK with your mods prefix. Inheriting it is actually rather silly, since all it is at the moment is a sample player that inherits CBasePlayer and does the basics.

If you don't need that code, you should remove any code from the SDK layer and only use your own code. If you are planning on using the SDK level's code, you should extend the class. Sure, you're adding an extra layer of overhead, but what you gain from that is complete isolation of your mod's player code. Every architectural decision has tradeoffs. And in this case, I have found that creating my own SDK_Player extension allowed my team to isolate our code and greatly helped to increase our productivity, which greatly outweighs the slight extra overhead.

Re: [hlcoders] WARNING: VAC may be banning developers by misdetecting server plugins as cheats.
I HIGHLY doubt that this is possible. Almost every plugin I have ever written gets basic info like player locations. Either this is just another excuse to try and get unbanned, or you have found a hash collision (maybe they use MD5. But still VERY unlikely). Either way, there is no use posting here, no-one can do anything about it. Open a steam support ticket like every other person that gets banned. 2008/11/5 ZuM [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yes, you can't get banned for custom Skins, and that's why theres the server command sv_pure, so only players with all default assets can play on these servers. Probably there's some odd thing going on with VAC or with some of the plugins being used, so VAC thinks that it's a cheat. Do your plugin get info where other players are located or anything like that? Pherhaps some of this could be the problem. 2008/11/5 Olly [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can't get banned for skins, or any other customizations (unless of course the 'customizations' were packaged in a file that included a cheat know by VAC) So your friend probably used the oldest excuse in the book... and you fell for it ¬¬ 2008/11/5 Tiago Conceição [EMAIL PROTECTED] Michael Barr do you use Skins?

Re: [hlcoders] WARNING: VAC may be banning developers by misdetecting server plugins as cheats.
It cant happen on a dedicated server, because the client never 'HAS' the plugin on their hdd. And there isn't much sense banning a server via VAC ;p 2008/11/5 Keeper [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is strange, I can't see how it could possible trip VAC. But I would definitely get with VALVe on this. It might help them close out a false positive. My first guess is that it has something to do with you running it as a listen server. I always add -insecure -dev -allowdebug on my server when testing/debugging my plugin locally. I really hope it wouldn't happen on a dedicated server or else there could be a world of hurt out there with SourceMod and EventScripts making it easier to alter the game on the server side.

Re: [hlcoders] WARNING: VAC may be banning developers by misdetecting server plugins as cheats.
Seeing as all of the player locations are stored on the server anyway, altering them would have no effect on the client (apart from being in a different place obviously...) I have used SigScanning MULTIPLE times and its never been a problem. Just because someone 'seems' to not be like the cheating type, if you wern't there, you don't know... (This is the internet after all...) From the SteamWorks site it said that VAC uses a list of known cheats, so either you (possibly inadvertently) got one of these on your computer, or there was hash collision (which is extremely unlikely). If it does turn out to be a problem with VAC, then I wouldn't get all hot under the collar about it.. im sure valve will sort it, and un-ban anyone that did get banned. 2008/11/5 Keeper [EMAIL PROTECTED] I would definitely get in touch with Alfred to let him know what's going on.

Hey guys, I know XE/Michael personally-- he's devoted almost all of his free time (for years) improving player experiences with Counter-Strike: Source. There's absolutely no way a real cheat is involved here. Unless his account was stolen/masqueraded by someone and means unknown to him, this is a false positive. As a plugin developer, this is really scary-- developers need to be able to work on their plugins without fear of losing all of their Steam games (and having to make a plea against their reputation). Since the Steam support groups are wildly unsympathetic for these cases, it would be tremendous help if someone from Valve could forward this thread internally to help us track down how this false positive was caused. It would prevent a lot of confusion if we could pin down what actually caused this specific VAC ban. I can't imagine this would be anything triggered by EventScripts (or we'd have a lot more bans), but if it's caused by the GunGame Utils plugin or something similar, the community needs to understand this risk and change their processes accordingly.

Re: [hlcoders] WARNING: VAC may be banning developers by misdetecting server plugins as cheats.
Im sure he has heard it all before tbh :P VAC DOES NOT 'detect behaviour' it only goes on known modules that have been added by valve (according to SW) 2008/11/5 Tom Leighton [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since SigScanning was mentioned, I am VERY very scared. On a listen server, both the Server AND client dll are loaded into the same process. VAC would be scanning that process, and may not be limiting itself to the client.dll boundaries, and indeed, if VAC detects Signature Scanning behaviour, it might ban you. I think Alfred needs to hear about this. Has someone else forwarded this to him? Or made him aware? LDuke wrote: A listenserver still uses the server.dll to provide the server portion of the game.

That is what has me worried. There's no telling what raised the flag for XE_ManUp. But if you can do it in a plugin, then maybe the VAC system would pick up on something that is being changed from the server on the client. Maybe not though, I just don't know.

Its not a cheat, obviously Source code.. or its cheats... 2008/11/5 Saint Thoth (hotmail) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bloom Mod is a good example of what happens when VAC gets out of control: http://www.madabouthats.org/projects/cgshader Several dozen of our MSC players downloaded this mod. Its not a cheat, obviously, it just supplies bloom effects for GoldSrc games - however, VAC detects it as a cheat, as it changes the client rendering engine. It resulted in the VAC ban of so many of our players that we now recommend to our server hosts not to run VAC (It doesn't do much good for MSC, as it's basically a coop game, and the only good cheats for it, VAC does not yet detect.) You will note that most MSC servers do not run VAC. (You'll also note, there is now a VAC warning on the Bloom Mod site.) We've been trying to get in contact with MadAboutThats in hope that he will give us some clues as to how to integrate his Bloom Mod into the game DLL itself in hopes that this will bypass the VAC issue, but we aren't entirely sure if it is even possible. ___ 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

Re: [hlcoders] Networking Game Rules
Nah, none of the recv proxies are getting called, nor sendproxy's :S 2008/9/16 Maarten De Meyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Weird, imo it should work then. You can try to add a receiveproxy to one of the variables, change the variable server-side and see if the receiveproxy hits clientside to check if you have basic networking functionality or not, that should help you narrow down the problem.
