Re: [hlcoders] Source SDK 2013 Release

[Rodrigo 'r2d2rigo' Diaz]

@Jacob: MS tends to break their own C++ compilers with each VS release, so
I would recommend you to keep using VS2010 for Source SDK; but if you
really, really need the new IntelliSense features added in VS2012, you can
install 2010 and 2012 in the same machine and the later will use the "old"
compiling tools if you refuse to update the project when opening it.

[hlcoders] GoldSrc Client -> Server communication?

[Rodrigo 'r2d2rigo' Diaz]

Hello,

I'm resuming development in a long-abandoned singleplayer mod for HL1.
Since we heavily rely in VGUI menus, the server must know when they are
closed by the client so the appropiate flag is unset in CBasePlayer's
savedata and we don't have weird bugs when loading a game that was saved
while a menu was open. Until now I have been using Client_Commands for
this, but is there a more elegant approach?

Cheers.

Re: [hlcoders] Goldsrc structure question

[Rodrigo 'r2d2rigo' Diaz]

As Tom said, QuakeWorld's source code is your number one reference when you
want to dig deeper in GoldSource's private bits. And don't forget to grab
the modified com_model.h that is somewhere around the Internet and contains
the OpenGL definitions for some of the structs used. Vanilla HLSDK only has
the software renderer ones.

Re: [hlcoders] crazy model animation

Re: [hlcoders] how to create a mod with non steam HL with no errors , and that language use hl non steam

[Rodrigo 'r2d2rigo' Diaz]

Katryna, I find amusing how you always talk about crap you don't have a clue
about, and rant for 20-30 lines. The signature said "Nuevo Hotmail", and
it's a campaign for the new MSN Live! features being deployed.

Yes, he looks Spanish/South American. Yes, he doesn't have a clue about
English. Yes, he doesn't have a clue about programming. Just another kiddie
with the "OMG i want to maek t3h Kaunter Straiekk!!11oneoneon1!1eleelven!!1"
idea.

Nothing to see here, citizens. Move along.

Re: [hlcoders] Compiling for mac

Actually, it's still useful when your target is a machine that doesn't have
.NET Framework installed. And you can statically link the MFC libraries to
your executable.

Re: [hlcoders] [GoldSrc] AviKit in any mods?

AVIkit was used in a demo MOD from the creator of the library, but AFAIK he
didn't release the source code. I tried to add it some time ago, but finally
dropped the idea.

If you are using a custom model, maybe it has autogenerated hitboxes or all

Did you recompile both DLLs? Are you sure the model contains
hitgroup-specific info, so they are properly identified?

Re: [hlcoders] [GoldSrc] Monsters in multiplayer

[Rodrigo 'r2d2rigo' Diaz]

AFAIK the last GoldSrc SDK released (2.3?) had two projects: one for a
MP-only game and another for a SP-only game. So if you are using it instead
of 2.1 version you are very far from having working monsters.

Re: [hlcoders] DirectX 10.1 and SM4.0

[Rodrigo 'r2d2rigo' Diaz]

Actually, the paper "Post processing in the Orange Box" mentions DX10 in a
few places. But I think they are referring to the X360 version of the
engine, which uses a superset of DX9 :|

Re: [hlcoders] HTML/JPG/GIF display in HL1 Goldsrc

[Rodrigo 'r2d2rigo' Diaz]

Guys, he's talking about GoldSrc.

@OP: AFAIK, HL SDK didn't have any native support for other image types than
TGA. Maybe you could derive your own class from BitmapTGA/Bitmap/Image and
override the proper functions so you load the JPG, convert it to raw RGBA
and upload it to the VRAM.

Re: [hlcoders] whats happening with this engine

[Rodrigo 'r2d2rigo' Diaz]

"To sleep"? Yeah, because there are no differences between vanilla Source,
and the Ep1 and OB revisions. And who knows what are the changes for Ep3 or
future versions.

Joshua, sometimes (always?) you give the impression that you are talking
about something without knowing a crap on the subject. Just my 2 cents.

Re: [hlcoders] .mdl file format

Re: [hlcoders] Ingame Movie Playback

Or you can make a VTF with 1000+ frames and apply it to a face :D

Perhaps someone at Valve can point you on how did they do it for TF2, and if
that portion of code is in the SDK...

GoldSrc doesn't have _anything_ related to true ragdolls. Maybe you are
referring to they hacky method of simulating ragdoll-like behaviour through
animations.

Re: [hlcoders] Round remaining time

[Rodrigo 'r2d2rigo' Diaz]

Don't use == for time comparations, because you won't call the function at
the EXACT time always.

Better use this:

if ( GetRoundRemainingTime() <= flStartSuddenDeathSound )
{
// play sound and enable flag so the sound doesn't get repeated
}

Re: [hlcoders] Latest HL SDK?

[Rodrigo 'r2d2rigo' Diaz]

AFAIK the latest version is SDK 2.3, source-code only. The previous one
(2.1) comes in two flavours: source-code and full.

They were hosted in the VERC, but since it's down, I think it should be
another mirror floating around (maybe FilePlanet?). And I if were you, I'd
be using Spirit of Half-Life, because it has way more improvements and
fixes.

Re: [hlcoders] Limiting access by Steam ID

[Rodrigo 'r2d2rigo' Diaz]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but AFAIK the mod needs some time to get a
valid Steam ID, so you need to give ~5 mins of playability until you close
down the game.

Re: [hlcoders] Havoc Physic Engie ("No-Charge" version)

[Rodrigo 'r2d2rigo' Diaz]

PhysX has always been free for non-commercial products, but I think they
changed the licensing sometime when the AGEIA cards went out. It was way too
easier to manage the API when it was called NovodeX and the minidriver
didn't exist, though :/

And I would recommend messing with simpler physic APIs, like Newton. Havok
and PhysX only come handy when you have access to the entire codebase.

Re: [hlcoders] RE: blood/decals/ragdolls

[Rodrigo 'r2d2rigo' Diaz]

--
[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ]
AFAIK, the cvar you are referring to, is r_drawdecals: it toggles between
drawing or ignoring the decals. I *think* that decals lifetime comes from
the limit being reached, so a decal stays until it needs to be rewritten by
a new one. With r_decals you set the maximum number of decals stored at a
time, and with r_maxmodeldecal you set the max being drawn onto a model.

Maybe you are using wrong frequency/sample/etc values for the sounds, I
remember the original HL only accepting mono/8KHz WAV files. Just check the

If HL2 works just like HL did, you should be seeking for pev->mins and
pev->maxs. Those store the minimum/maximum vectors that determine the size
of the resulting box.

AFAIK, before the new version, if you opened Steam without being connected
to Internet, a dialog gave you the options to retry or log under offline
mode. Looks like this option isn't available anymore. It's a shame, because
it came very handy when you took your laptop to a place without any ways of
accessing Internet.

[hlcoders] VGUI issues in HL1

[Rodrigo 'r2d2rigo' Diaz]

--
[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ]
Hello, I am currently trying to make a VGUI interface in HL1. I have some
issues, because the VGUI menu is just a template and I want to change some
things on it every time it is opened. The biggest problem I have is related
with the ActionSignals, because it looks like you can add them to controls,
but you can't delete them (so, if in a map the button X in the menu needs to
send the server command Y, and I move to the next map, in which the server
command sent by that button is Z, the client dll sends commands Y and Z).

It looks like VGUI in HL1 isn't finished at all, so maybe the things I want
to do are almost impossible to perform, but I would thank some help with
this thing, especially in the way to destroy VGUI controls and recreate
them, or the strange way CMenuPanel::Open works (it looks like it doesn't
really "close" the panel, just hides it).

Thank you for your time.

Hello, I have an idea for a MOD i'm finishing for HL1. The idea is to
prevent people i don't want from playing it, much like the electric crowbar

return the STEAMID if the MOD is running under Steam? I want to block people
from using it under WON, and allowing only some people to run it under
Steam, for anti-leaking things.

Pretty weird. Surely you aren't using the fresh SDK files (maybe you applied

[hlcoders] Applying shake to players in camera mode (HL1)

[Rodrigo 'r2d2rigo' Diaz]

Hi, I have tried thousands of ways to make a player's vision shake
when he is seeing through a camera. I've tried to place env_shakes
near the camera, near the player, even making UTIL_ScreenShake work in
the whole map, but it doesn't work.
Seeing through view.cpp in the client dll, I came to V_CalcShake and
V_ApplyShake functions, done by the engine. Does the engine by itself
skip shake calculation when the player sees through a camera? Can this
be hacked by some way? Thanks for the help in advance.

AFAIK, a shareware program is a freely distributable demo; you must

[hlcoders] Help with HL1 SPR file format

Hi, I want to load a SPR file to use it as a texture in one OpenGL
program. I have based my code from the one in sprgen.c. For testing,
I'm using a single frame 256*256 sprite, and I follow this order for
reading the data:
-1 struct dsprite_t (sprite header)
-1 short (# of palette indexes - 256)
-256 bytes (colours of the palette indexes)
-1 struct spriteframetype_t (frame type - single or multiple)
-1 struct dspriteframe_t (sprite frame header)
-dspriteframe_t->height*dspriteframe_t->width bytes (height*width
bytes - sprite frame data)
And then I create the texture with glTexImage2D. The problem is the
final texture gets messy; did I miss something? Is there any
documentation about SPR file format?

Re: [hlcoders] Shield

[Rodrigo 'r2d2rigo' Diaz]

Because when you pick up an entity based in CBasePlayerWeapon, the
entity is removed and a free slot in the 'static ItemInfo
ItemInfoArray[MAX_WEAPONS ]' is filled.

You can check it by making a for statement and checking all the
ItemInfoArray's pszName variable.
