Re: [hlcoders] HL2MP SDK Crash (and fix)

2005-03-01 Thread wheaty 
While your solution works, here's another (cleaner IMHO) solution:

if ( !pRagdoll-IsValid() )
{
 Msg(Bad ragdoll for %s\n, pstudiohdr-name );
 delete pRagdoll;
 pRagdoll = NULL;
}
else
{
   pRagdoll-SetInitialBonePosition( pstudiohdr, pDesiredBonePosition );
}

I'm not a big fan of multiple return statements =)

 I've been running my DM mod, and I noticed that periodically the
 clients would crash but the server would remain up. I happened to
 catch one in the debugger, and it looks like this is problem is in
 CreateRagdoll in ragdoll.cpp:
 
 CRagdoll *CreateRagdoll(
 C_BaseEntity *ent,
 studiohdr_t *pstudiohdr,
 const Vector forceVector,
 int forceBone,
 const CBoneAccessor pPrevBones,
 const CBoneAccessor pBoneToWorld,
 const CBoneAccessor pDesiredBonePosition,
 float dt )
 {
 CRagdoll *pRagdoll = new CRagdoll;
 pRagdoll-Init( ent, pstudiohdr, forceVector, forceBone, pPrevBones,
 pBoneToWorld, dt );
 
 if ( !pRagdoll-IsValid() )
 {
 Msg(Bad ragdoll for %s\n, pstudiohdr-name );
 delete pRagdoll;
 pRagdoll = NULL;
 
 }
 
 pRagdoll-SetInitialBonePosition( pstudiohdr, pDesiredBonePosition );
 
 return pRagdoll;
 }
 
 I'm not sure under what circumstances the ragdoll is not valid, but
 apparently this was happening periodically. So when the ragdoll was
 not valid, it would delete that pointer and then immediately call
 SetInitialBonePosition on it. Nice.
 
 I changed the if block to:
 
 if ( !pRagdoll-IsValid() )
 {
 Msg(Bad ragdoll for %s\n, pstudiohdr-name );
 delete pRagdoll;
 pRagdoll = NULL;
 return pRagdoll;
 }
 
 and haven't seen this crash since.

 Beyond Compare (http://www.scootersoftware.com/) does a REALLY good job
 of comparing one source directory tree to another source directory tree.

 Simply save off your current source code to a backup directory, create a
 MOD using the latest SDK, run Beyond Compare on the two main directories
 and it will show you what has changed.  :)

[hlcoders] Multiplayer NPCs

2004-12-17 Thread wheaty 
I've been able to get a fully working headcrab in a multiplayer mod
(basically copied the npc_headcrab code and spent a while trimming it
until it compiled).  As it stands right now, *everything* is done on
the server side, which isn't exactly optimal.  My question is, should
I attempt to hack the headcrab into the shared code?

Re: [hlcoders] HUD, fonts, and everything else not showing up

Just wait for Valve to release the HL2DM source.  No point in
reinventing the wheel.

 I just tried a fresh mod that is completely unedited.  When I run it, I don

 anywhere.

 I have this installed under: C:\TestMod
 My valve folder is c:\valve\steam\SteamApps\username\...

 Could that be the problem?  Or why is nothing showing up?

 Thanks,
 David
