Re: [hlcoders] Possable Improvements to the Source SDK
I'm going to answer one of the things directly right now; I already made it super easy to add new weapons as it is (with the template) You copy and paste 2 files, rename the class and edit the attributes in the .txt file, edit the enum and the alias table. And if you want a custom ammo type, you just copy and paste another ammo type in sdk_gamerules.cpp and you're done. It's kind of faster to add 5 new weapons at once than it is to just add one, too actually. -Tony ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
Re: [hlcoders] Erour in OB Mod
No it was my fault. In basegrenade_shared.h I was making changes purely for the
SDK because I didn't want the scratch SDK to have grenades as
basecombatcharacter. But HL2MP needs it for the tripmines, and singleplayer
needs it for the barnacles.
If you change the declaration in game\shared\basegrenade_shared.h to this (it's
kind of messy because of the #ifdefs) it'll work.
//Tony; Compromise! in episodic single player, inherit CBaseCombatCharacter for
the barnacle interaction, otherwise this will never get called.
class CBaseGrenade :
#if defined( HL2_EPISODIC ) || defined ( HL2MP )//Tony; HL2MP
needs this too for tripmine grenades.
public CBaseCombatCharacter
#else
public CBaseAnimating
#endif
#if defined( GAME_DLL )
, public CDefaultPlayerPickupVPhysics
#endif
{
DECLARE_CLASS( CBaseGrenade, CBaseAnimating );

You have a function definition, looking similar to:
void CBaseGrenade::HandleInteraction()
{
// ... blah blah
}
You must have copied a function from CBaseGrenade and tried to add it to
grenade_frag.cpp because the compiler is complaining. The function is
declared as a member of CBaseGrenade when it needs to be CHL2GrenadeFrag or
whatever.
This is a pretty simply C++ syntax problem. If you're getting in over your
head with the (complicated) C++ syntax, I recommend starting with something
simpler than what you're doing, and reading more about how C++ works.

Re: [hlcoders] My harddrive died overnight. No warning. I lost tons of data.
I always used to have the problem of being a coder, and not being able to get people to help me for art on my projects. But I guess it works the same way, I didn't want to spend my spare time working on someone elses ideas when I had plenty of my own.. so maybe the whole 'not enough coders going around' thing should be changed to: There are not enough coders who WANT to work on someone elses project That's my IMO though (same goes for the artists!

No warning. I lost tons of data. @ Richard I learn by reading through the code and experimenting. Sometimes there are previous implementations I can use for reference. If someone wants to help a newbie by mentoring them that's great. I just feel that while being mentored the newbie should concentrate on becoming competent with the engine by prehaps making a smaller experimental mod rather than tagging along with a mod team that already has a coder. Learning by doing is far better than watching. @ Adam Sure, they would. That's how I started working for Nightmare House 2. It was on the verge of death because Hen couldn't get a coder to finish the work he needed done who wasn't asking for money. While working on that mod I learnt a lot. I'm also working on a fully fledged surf mod (CSS style surfing) It uses a point system similar to those found in skateboarding games. Implementing something like that only took me a couple of days at most on my own and I'm not exactly a highly skilled coder. Anyway, my point is all these new mods start asking for 2-3 coders right off the bat and trying to pull a big team together. From experience it's far better to have just 1 coder to get the gameplay working and then maybe bring in a second for bugfixing and polish if necessary. I just feel mods having several unnecessary coders sets a bad example to newbies and is a bit unfair on mods with a great team that just cannot get hold of a coder to do some simple changes to the game. By having each mod take only what it needs from the hl2 modding community it would give other mods with lots of potential a better chance of being completed and released. ___ 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

It's not the warning that you want to get rid of, you need to fix the actual entry. m_VecBaseVelocity is clamped to -1000, 1000 by default.

Re: [hlcoders] What's the offset for on SendPropInt in making send tables?
You only use IMPLEMENT_NETWORK_VAR_FOR_DERIVED when the base class has CNetworkVarForDerived, but doesn't add it to the network table. Then in the child class, you do IMPLEMENT.. and then add it to the send/recv tables of the child class. This is how health is, everything has health (cbaseentity has CNetworkVarForDerived( int, m_iHealth ); -but- cbaseentity doesn't network it (there's no sendprop/recvprop for it) However, the player does network it; therefore in the player class, it has IMPLEMENT, and then there's a sendprop/recvprop for it. In your case, since you're adding something new to CBasePlayer / C_BasePlayer Then you simply do CNetworkVar( int, m_iMental ); And then add it to the send/recv tables for baseplayer. -Tony -Original Message- From: hlcoders-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlcoders-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Brent Lewis Sent: May-03-09 10:45 AM To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlcoders] What's the offset for on SendPropInt in making send tables?

Re: [hlcoders] Adding the prop_vehicle_jeep entity back into HL2DM
If you are using the beta ob sdk (sorry I haven't had time lately to get back to fixing a few of the issues with it, I've been really busy with other things) you can take the buggy from the scratch source and put it in hl2mp pretty easily. Because the prop_vehicle_jeep that is inside the hl2mp / hl2 sp tree in orange box is the charger. What I did for SP though was created a second one called vehicle_hl2buggy so single player OB mods can have both the charger and the buggy, and there's another script for it.

Upon copying the code over and loading it into VS08 (and converting it) the
Custom Build Steps seem to be reversed. Your copying the .dll and .pdb for
the Release config, and just the .dll for the Debug configuration.
Maybe it is when the file was converted, but these seem kinda flipped? Also
I noticed a patch was added by tony for:
dist = c_x / tan( M_PI * scaled_fov / 360.0 );
But not for:
void __cdecl _invalid_parameter_noinfo(void)
{
Assert(0);
}
Is this patch no longer needed? (It's *line 727* of server/memoverride.cpp)

Re: [hlcoders] Orange Box SDK Beta (Not L4D)
I'll be honest with you, unless you made significant major major changes to
base code, if I was in your position I'd use the new code and then port my
changes into it. Because if you take the mod folder + code that gets spit out,
it's 100% fully functional episode 2 except for the chapters list page not
showing the proper name (Since that's based on the mod folder) in the new game
menu.
It also automounts content.

I'm making a HL2 Ep2-based Single Player mod using the Orange Box Engine. I
didn't have any trouble with my mod's code as it is. I presume any dll's
built using the old SDK will still function with the Ep2 engine. Updating
the code for a few fixes sounds like an awful lot of work, but is it
recommended to update your source to the new beta code, or is it simply
optional?

==Source SDK==
Several significant enhancements and bug fixes have been made to the
Source SDK tools and source code. See below for additional details and
please note that this update does not include support for Left4Dead
content creation. Support for Left4Dead will be included in a future
update.
=SDK Tools=
* Fixed the issues with the following tools: height2ssbump,
normal2ssbump, pfm2tga, splitskybox, vbspinfo, vmt_tweak, vmtcheck
* Fixed an issue in studiomdl pertaining to $shadowlod {
=Hammer=
* The texture browser automatically ignores most textures that cannot be
placed on brushes or displacements, as well as anything inside a .svn
folder for those using svn as their choice of versioning software.
* Added additional auto visgroups for sprites and cubemaps
* Seperated the VRAD calls into two sequential while using HDR (-ldr
and -hdr) instead of -both
* Model browser is now created once per session
* Displacement brush dial now has greater range
* Added a stop button to sound previews
=SDK Launcher=
* Added the ability to edit game configurations with vconfig
= Source Code=
* Added a new template mod that replaces the old 'advanced' source .
This template has options for teams,classes, sprinting, prone, stamina,
etc. When you create a mod with the wizard it will ask you which options
to enable by default. Note: you must build the source. Users wishing to
create only content should not use this option.
* Added shader source; fxc.exe, psa.exe and vsa.exe must be placed into
the dx9sdk\utilities folder and you must modify
materialsystem\stdshaders\buildsdkshaders.bat to set your paths.
* Most tonemap controller options now work in multiplayer. The 'template
mod' map 'sdk_teams_hdr' demonstrates this.
* All three mod types by default mount the required appid's -
Multiplayer uses 218 and mounts 320 for example. Gameinfo.txt contains a
new entry 'AdditionalAppId' for this purpose.
* Particle systems can now be defined with a per-map manifest, similar
to soundscapes. Inside the particles folder you simply create
particles_mapname.txt and declare your particle system files just like the
regular manifest. Prefix with ! to cache automatically. Ex: file
!particles/mymap_effects.pcf
* Fixed a number of issues which caused the server to not compile in
linux.
=Multiplayer Source Code=
* Players animate with the new animation system that came along with
TF2.
* Fixed third person animations and all effects
* Fixed SLAM issues
* Fixed Use of UTIL_GetLocalPlayer on the server in various locations
* Fixed a number of other bugs / asserts.
=Singleplayer Source Code=
* Fixed a number of issues preventing the source from functioning
correctly
* Added new vehicle hl2buggy so that users may have both the charger
and the old buggy.

In do animation event on the server, make sure the client who you're

I apparently have two versions of it.

void TE_PlayerAnimEvent( CBasePlayer *pPlayer, PlayerAnimEvent_t event, int

CPVSFilter filter( (const Vector)pPlayer-EyePosition() );
//Tony; use prediction rules.
filter.UsePredictionRules();
g_TEPlayerAnimEvent.m_hPlayer = pPlayer;
g_TEPlayerAnimEvent.m_iEvent = event;
g_TEPlayerAnimEvent.m_nData = nData;
g_TEPlayerAnimEvent.Create( filter, 0 );
}
//sdk_player.cpp
void TE_PlayerAnimEvent( CBasePlayer *pPlayer, PlayerAnimEvent_t event, int
nData )
{
CPVSFilter filter( (const Vector)pPlayer-EyePosition() );
//Tony; pull the player who is doing it out of the recipientlist, this
is predicted!!
filter.RemoveRecipient( pPlayer );
g_TEPlayerAnimEvent.m_hPlayer = pPlayer;
g_TEPlayerAnimEvent.m_iEvent = event;
g_TEPlayerAnimEvent.m_nData = nData;

Hey all
Got a bit of a weird problem and I'm not sure if anyone's experienced this.
My animation events are firing twice, once when it's supposed to, and
another time as soon as the animation ends and m_flCycle is at 1.00
It appears that m_nResetEventsParity is being set at the wrong time, or that
the client is attempting to play the animation sequence for that animation
again before the sequence has successfully changed, causing the double-up.

The same animation continues and is supposed to finish but for whatever
reason the parity is reset, ending up with the events all catching up with
this supposedly new animation.
Note that I could do this:
if( GetCycle() == 1.0 )
return;
But this is a major hack, and wouldn't work in all circumstances since this
sometimes happens even when cycle is at something like 0.93 etc.
Anyone have thoughts?

Instead, try reverting buildsdkshaders to it's default and setup your path variable properly. If you have, those changes to buildsdkshaders.bat should be entirely unnessicary. To check what PATH is currently set to, you can just type path (no quotes) into any command line. To build shaders properly, it should have paths to the perl binaries, nmake, and the shader compilers from the directx sdk.

Re: [hlcoders] Rendering pipline non-interacting post-process effects
You can just copy the scene to a render target once, and then draw the RT directly over the screen with one shader, and then draw it again with the second shader. You don't need to render the effects into the same RT. -Tony -Original Message- From: hlcoders-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlcoders-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Walter Gray Sent: February-13-09 7:46 PM To: Discussion of Half-Life Programming Subject: [hlcoders] Rendering pipline non-interacting post-process effects Hey List, I'm trying to figure out a bit about the current rendering pipeline so that I can set up and run a couple of different post process effects at a time. My goal is to have each effect read from an unaltered framebuffer so that the successive effects won't interfere with each other, but rather will be able to be blended in a more specific way. A good example of the kind of situation that I need this for would be the edge highlighting and blur filters. I don't want the edge highlighter to read from the results of the blur filter because then the edges won't be quite true, but I also don't want the blur filter to read from the results of the highlighter, because then the highlights will be blurry as well. I ran across a couple of functions that might be useful in doing something like this, such as materials-CopyRenderTargetToTexture, and I could always just create a custom render target and then copy that to the frame buffer when the composition is complete, but I can't shake the suspicion that there is some kind of support for this kind of thing already that I'm just missing. Is there, or should I just roll my own? ___ 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] Weird Reloading Glitch: Multiple Weapons Reloading with One Button Press
Well that's odd. The total ammo reduction in a scenario like that assuming you were reloading both weapons would definitely take 11 away from the total pool, but I don't see how you're reloading the shotgun as well. Try throwing in a breakpoint and watch how much ammo is actually being taken away during each reload. -Tony -Original Message- From: hlcoders-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlcoders-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Robert Urda Sent: February-13-09 1:06 AM To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlcoders] Weird Reloading Glitch: Multiple Weapons Reloading with One Button Press Okay, so here's the situation: I want my mod to have a couple of weapons that use the same ammo. The problem is that I keep running into the same issue: every time I reload one weapon that uses the same ammo type as another weapon, all of them reload. For example, let's say I have 100 SMG ammo, an SMG with a full 45 clip and a Shotgun that uses SMG ammo (simple mod of the weapon script). Anyway, so I shoot 10 shots with the SMG and a single shot with the shotgun. I go to reload the SMG and it removes 11 rounds: 10 for the SMG and 1 for the shotgun, even though I haven't reloaded the shotgun. Examining the code, I noticed that the Shotgun overrides most of the Reload functions and the ItemPostFrame function of CBaseCombatWeapon. Am I right to be looking there? Has this particular question already been posed? Anyone?

Hi, all. I've been lurking here for a while, but something's recently
come up in my code that prompted me to post. I've looked through my entire
backlog of hlcoders messages (almost 3000 at this point), searched the SDK
wiki and the Steam Forums, and even did a brief google for this, and still
I haven't found anything close to an answer.
In my mod, I've got a base class, something like:
// --- server ---
class CBaseClass : public CBaseEntity
{
public:
DECLARE_CLASS( CBaseClass, CBaseEntity );
DECLARE_SERVERCLASS();
private:
CNetworkVar( int, m_index );
};
IMPLEMENT_SERVERCLASS_ST( CBaseClass, DT_BaseClass )
SendPropInt( SENDINFO( m_index ), 10, SPROP_UNSIGNED ),
END_SEND_TABLE()
// --- client ---
class C_BaseClass : public C_BaseEntity
{
public:
DECLARE_CLASS( C_BaseClass, C_BaseEntity );
DECLARE_CLIENTCLASS();
int m_index; // couldn't get this to work under private:
};
IMPLEMENT_CLIENTCLASS_DT( C_BaseClass, DT_BaseClass, CBaseClass )
RecvPropInt( RECVINFO( m_index ) ),
END_RECV_TABLE()
So far, so good, right? Follows the wiki, Valve's code, etc. Compiles
with no errors. Load up the mod, and it works as expected.
Now, here's the fun part. If I derive a class from my base class, like
so:
// --- server ---
class CDerivedClass : public CBaseClass
{
public:
DECLARE_CLASS( CDerivedClass, CBaseClass );
DECLARE_SERVERCLASS();
private:
CNetworkVar( int, m_something );
};
IMPLEMENT_SERVERCLASS_ST( CDerivedClass, DT_DerivedClass )
SendPropInt( SENDINFO( m_something ), 10, SPROP_UNSIGNED ),
END_SEND_TABLE()
// --- client ---
class C_DerivedClass : public C_BaseClass
{
public:
DECLARE_CLASS( C_DerivedClass, C_BaseClass );
DECLARE_CLIENTCLASS();
int m_something;
};
IMPLEMENT_CLIENTCLASS_DT( C_DerivedClass, DT_DerivedClass, CDerivedClass )
RecvPropInt( RECVINFO( m_something ) ),
END_RECV_TABLE()
...the code compiles and runs just fine, but the client side of the
derived class *never* gets any updates when m_something is set. What blows
my mind is that I can cut and paste the code into the base class, and it
will behave exactly as it should. What the heck is going on here? There's
no indication that I can find in Valve's code or the wiki that I'm doing
anything wrong, or that more/different code is needed. Someone mentioned
CNetworkVarForDerived, but that doesn't seem to be the ideal solution,
since you're still declaring a variable in the base class, and I want
completely unique variables in some of the derived classes.
Any thoughts/suggestions? I'm at my wits' end here...

An example for net_fakelag 0 first attack client attackstep at 22.305000 server attackstep at 22.32 second attack client attackstep at 23.07 server attackstep at 23.174999 With net_fakelag 100 first attack client attackstep at 23.07 server attackstep at 23.174999 second attack client attackstep at 249.869995 server attackstep at 249.974991 The server falls behind the client often. To my understanding, there's no way the server knows when the client player presses the attack button. How would one compensate for this major discrepancy? ~M You might want to write some debug messages for the console with time stamps so you can see when the client and server are getting velocities assigned, but directly setting the client side velocity is a really bad idea. I agree with Jorge that you should be adding your velocity changes directly to the shared game movement code. You really need to make sure, and this is really important for prediction, that the client and server velocity changes are being made in sync with eachother. When the server update hits the client and the client is outside of the movement range for that frame, it will snap the client back into server sync no matter what. ___ 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

You're going to have to modify GetWorldModelIndex() so that it will return the index of your alternate model if it's supposed to. You could just inherit it and override it. And where the model is precached from the script, store the model index of your alternate model, the way it stores m_iWorldModelIndex. -Technically- if you do that, you'd never have to modify GetWorldModel(), but rather just GetWorldModelIndex, since it gets called more often anyway. -Tony -Original Message- From: hlcoders-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlcoders-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Richard Slaughter Sent: January-17-09 10:56 AM To: Discussion of Half-Life Programming Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Changing the weapon world model during play I added: SetModel(GetWorldModel()); to CBaseHL2MPCombatWeapon::Deploy() for the sake of testing, watched it hit the break point, checked it's passing the right model name (the alternative one) which is all ok, but it still doesn't change the model from what it already was.

It would be difficult and time consuming to create such documentation and it would difficult to keep it up to date. Having worked at a game development studio for many years, I would much rather see Valve spending their time creating code and fixing bugs than creating and updating documentation. New developers just need to jump in with both feet and play around with the code for a couple of months and they will quickly become familiar with how things work. You're not going to learn the entire code base in a couple of weeks and you don't really need to understand the entire code base to work on a single feature for a mod. Just take things one step at a time and don't try to do too much at once and before too long you'll have a pretty good understanding of how things fit together and how things work (or you'll lose interest in the first few weeks and give up and go do something else). -- Jeffrey botman Broome ___ 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] Best way to mod scratch SDK
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. It's like a template. -Original Message- From: hlcoders-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlcoders-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Skyler Clark Sent: December-21-08 7:11 PM To: Discussion of Half-Life Programming Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Best way to mod scratch SDK The SDK stuff is not a bunch of empty classes, there is code and logic provided there. 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] Passing sound from player to grenade entity?
It's really simple. Modify the throw function that's on the grenade to NOT create the entity, and instead just do everything else that's done after it's created. Then in your attack thing, create the grenade when they press, start the sound, but don't throw it. Make it follow the player. Then when they release, make it stop following, and then call the throw function that applies all the velocity etc. -Tony -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Yorg Kuijs Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2008 11:52 AM To: Discussion of Half-Life Programming Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Passing sound from player to grenade entity?

Oh, and that means modifying all of the functions that 'send the grenade moving' Throw, Lob, whatever.

Yeah, what jay said is exactly the problem. The wizard in the current version of the sdk when you do the create mod wizard is using ep1 files. I've fixed it for the next big update we're doing, but for now you have to manually copy the scripts over from ep2 to make it work. Also, in orange box, the 'buggy' is replaced by the charger.

The vehicle scripts are not the same between orange box and hl2.

The steering parameters and code are different in the orange box. Also, be sure to set ent_bbox on the vehicle and vcollide_wireframe 1 so you can see the underlying physics visualized.

I am not looking for you to chew out strands of code for me to copy paste; I am willing to put in my own time. I am just still not completely home to the engine. - First and foremost, and likely the most illogical, is the steering issue. When using the original Buggy from HL2, all works fine in a custom room within HL2. However, when you select 'Create a Mod', change nothing, and then run the same identical room, you can drive front and back, but are unable to steer. When you save this game and load it back, you cán steer, only at lower increments. Are there certain flags to (not) be set when starting the game..? - Then as a different issue; I'm looking to lock the camera in place behind the car, disabling free view (like when playing in first person, the direction you face is always forward). I am not sure if getting the vehicle to turn when moving the mouse is doable without too much work, but if thats the case wasd controls will suffice. Free look however is still a nuisance, and should be disabled. Any pointers on where I should be looking would be apreciated. There are obviously some other issues, but I have to look into those myself first.

Re: [hlcoders] Muzzle flash issue
I just did a little something with hl2mp, to make the third person
muzzleflashes reliable for the local player who is in third person.
Open up
c_baseanimating.cpp
inside C_BaseAnimating::FireEvent
Here are my changes.
case AE_MUZZLEFLASH:
{
// Send out the effect for a player
#if defined ( HL2MP )
// HL2MP - Make third person muzzleflashes as
reliable as the first person ones
// while in third person the view model
dispatches the muzzleflash event - note: the weapon models dispatch them
too, but not frequently.
if ( IsViewModel() )
{
C_BasePlayer *pPlayer = ToBasePlayer(
dynamic_castC_BaseViewModel *(this)-GetOwner() );
if ( pPlayer pPlayer ==
C_BasePlayer::GetLocalPlayer())
{
if (
::input-CAM_IsThirdPerson() )
{
// Dispatch on the
weapon - the player model doesn't have the attachments in hl2mp.
C_BaseCombatWeapon
*pWeapon = pPlayer-GetActiveWeapon();
if ( !pWeapon )
break;
pWeapon-DispatchMuzzleEffect( options, false );
break;
}
}
}
#endif
DispatchMuzzleEffect( options, true );
break;
}

Re: [hlcoders] Source Mods in SDK?
I must admit, it would be nice if the current steam UI did this automatically, like the original did before hl2 came out, when it was just the single panel.

Re: [hlcoders] physics shadow?
The physics shadows are basically a physics object that follows an entity that doesn't move with vphysics, ie: an npc, or the player, and provides collision with physics objects, and has callbacks to notify the entity it's following that it just collided with something else that is vphysics (or another shadow) -Tony -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Chang Sent: October-02-08 11:59 PM To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlcoders] physics shadow?

In VPhysicsShadowUpdate() I just took all the traces ie util_traceline, util_traceentity, etc and changed the MASK_PLAYERSOLID to use PhysicsSolidMaskForEntity() except I used some ifdefs so I remember that the code was modified by our mod when it comes time to merge new code that affected this file for instance.

Re: [hlcoders] grenade code
Weapon_superfrag can't load things simply 'because the header is included'. In order to do things from weapon_grenade, weapon_superfrag needs to be a CHILD of weapon_grenade. For customizations, you then override functions with the same name, by adding the overriding functions into superfrag. If you want to make weapon_superfrag do something different from the normal one, you override the function you need to change so that it does the same code with different options. This is inheritance. -Tony -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Yorg Kuijs Sent: September-26-08 9:19 AM To: Discussion of Half-Life Programming Subject: Re: [hlcoders] grenade code alright I think I fixed the previous problems but can't really test it yet.

Re: [hlcoders] Detecting point is outside world
Pointcontents should return CONTENTS_SOLID if you're in the void.
Part of the map compilation process is to 'fill the outside' with
contents_solid.
So a simple
If ( UTIL_PointContents( position ) CONTENTS_SOLID ) )
{
In a solid, or the void
}
Should work.
Noclip around and test it with this command:
CON_COMMAND_F( dbg_contents, dbg contents, FCVAR_CHEAT )
{
CBasePlayer *pPlayer = UTIL_GetCommandClient();
if ( !pPlayer )
return;
int contents = UTIL_PointContents( pPlayer-GetAbsOrigin() );
if ( contents CONTENTS_SOLID )
DevMsg(in solid\n);
DevMsg( Contents: %i\n, contents );
}

Subject: [hlcoders] Detecting point is outside world
Hey all, very simple question that I can't seem to find the answer to -
how
to tell if a point is outside the game world or not?
I've added an ability allowing players to teleport a short distance,
including through walls, to our HL2MP OB mod. This is great, and the
code
successfully avoids getting the player stuck inside world brushes or
anything else when teleporting. It is unfortunately possible for them to
teleport to completely outside the world geometry, and I can't work out
how
to stop this. I've tried my hull traces using various likely-looking
masks
collision groups, and have looked at all the UTIL_PointContents flags,
but I
can't see how to determine if a point is outside the world or not.
I've also looked through gamemovement.cpp, as players don't fall when
they
teleport outside the world, so something must be stopping them, as they
aren't in a solid - but nothing jumps out at me. So, does anyone know
how
to determine if a point / trace / entity is completely outside the world
geometry?
The best hacky method I can come up with is testing if a
several-thousand-unit-long trace can be done in any direction
(up/down/n/s/e/w), and if any can, assume its outside. I'm sure there's
a
point contents method, but I can't work it out. Help would be
appreciated.
Thanks

Re: [hlcoders] Networking Game Rules
Gamerules have a 'proxy entity'.

I noticed there are some client functions which access member variables. Having tried to debug the problems i'm having with odd values in the variables, I'm under the impression that GameRule variables are not networked. Is it possible to get the game rule 'entity' (I know its not a real entity) networked, so I can call these client functions and get some real values. If it is... anyone got any pointers? ps. All of the variables I would like to access on the client seem to be network variables (CNetworkVar) but the object just isnt transmitting.

Re: [hlcoders] Networking Game Rules
The rules themselves aren't networked. That's why there's a gamerules proxy.
