[hlcoders] Crash in vgui_TeamFortressViewport.cpp

I've had a couple of odd crashes occuring in vgui_TeamFortressViewport.cpp on line 328 (vgui::ipanel()->DeletePanel( vPanel );) and I can't work out what's causing them. The first occured when I was writing a new game rules class inherited from CMultiplayRules for teamplay. In its constructor I cr

Re: [hlcoders] Crash in vgui_TeamFortressViewport.cpp

[hlcoders] Prediction data

All the predicted weapons appear to have prediction data tables which are setup in a very similar way to an entities network table (a DECLARE_PREDICTABLE() statement is put in the class def and you have a BEGIN_PREDICITION_DATA( )/END_PREDICTION_DATA( ) pair in a source file somewhere between which

[hlcoders] Physics and Melee weapons

[hlcoders] Possible bug in INetworkStringTable::FindStringIndex

Acording to the comment beside FindStringIndex in the INetworkStringTable interface definition it returns -1 if the string is not found. However it appears to return 65535 which seems like it may be the result of a signed/unsigned mismatch within the implementation that is used. I'm just wonderin

RE: [hlcoders] PoserParameters in the QC

Look in the modelsrc directories under cstrike, hl2 and hl2mp in the sourcesdk_content directory. The urban player model uses pose parameters for its walking animations (see sourcesdk_content/cstrike/modelsrc/animation for the source QC files). Also if you get a copy of cannonfodder's mdl decompil

[hlcoders] Ragdolls and Constraints

I'm currently writing code for a trebuchet, the arm of which is a ragdoll and it's sling is a prop_physics entity. The sling needs to be attached to the arm via ropes. Creating the actual rope is easy enough but I'm having trouble with setting up length constraints between the sling and the arm.
