If its the same as VGUI1 its scaled so that 640x480 is fullscreen.
Coordinates of 320x240 will give you the center point of any screen
resolution.

Are you sure the 640x480 will work? I believe the screen sizes to the
pixels
of the resolution so at 1024x768 the screen is that many pixels. I
usually
just set it inside the constructor SetSize( ScreenWidth(), ScreenHeight()
);
might also have to be done where hud Resets itself. Another thing that
bothers me is the MeshBuilder isn't aligned to screenspace pixels. It's a
pain to pan them out together.

Joel: Glad to be of assistance! Good luck with the mod.
Dest: Let's start with the simplest solution. Have you specified your
class
in scripts/HudLayout.res file? Our classname is CH5UI_PlayerNames,
here's
what we have in our HudLayout.res file. This sets your hud element to
be
visible, positioned at 0,0 and sizes it to fit the whole screen.
CH5UI_PlayerNames
{
fieldName CH5UI_PlayerNames
xpos0
ypos0
wide640
tall 480

If you have already done this, we'll keep troubleshooting from there.

it in our mod for Mario Kart Source and you'll receive appropriate

for it. Thanks.
Dest Romano: The font's you can use are listed in ClientScheme.res
. You
can
get them in ApplySchemeSettings and just do.
m_hFont = pScheme-GetFont( Trebuchet24 );
Or whatever custom font you want just add it to ClientScheme.res and
at
the
bottom is where you link to the filename of the .ttf file. Make sure
the
name you use for the custom font is the exact same as when you open
the
font

1) Declare as a private variable for the class:
vgui::HFont m_hFont;
Be sure to set it to a font in the constructor, we set to trebuchet:
m_hFont = g_hFontTrebuchet24;
2) Declare as a private variable for the class:
wchar_t sIDString[256];
3) You're right, code could be cleaned by moving variable

out

Who's to say HL2 exposed 100% of the functionality of the Source Engine.
Why not wait until we see what can be done with it, before blindly
stipulating that which can not.
Dan Partly stated that it is *obviously* a false claim by Valve that they
support
Real-Time Radiosity in Source Engine on their web site. He can make this
statement with an extremely high degree of confidence.
It *should be* painfully obvious to any student of computer graphics
technology
that the claim is false.
Why?
Because there has to exist a computer executable algorithm to for real-time
radiosity before Valve Software or anyone else can possibly have implemented
it in any game engine. If such an algorithm would have been published in any
one of the several academic journals bearing on this subject, it would be
indexed
in the ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) Library and available to
SIGGRAPH members for examination.
There has been no such publication describing any methodology of performing
hemi-cube or any other Radiosity computation in Real Time and the present
best
algorithm requires at least a few tens to a couple hundred iterations of
propogating
light energy (radiosity) over a couple hundred thousand hemicubes (for
a typical
HL 2 level after subdivision of all the polygons into sufficiently small
facets) in order
to obtain a solution that looks good.
All of this computation would be required for each and every frame rendered
and
even polygons that are not in the visible set would still have to be
included in the
radiosity calculation, as they might contribute scattered light to the
visible polygons
that actually get rendered by means of multiple bounces.
That is absolutely beyond power of any existing consumer hardware and could
only hope to be be achieved with a very large cluster of machines working
on the
problem in parallel.
Therefore, it may be stated with *very high confidence* that the claim on
Valve's
web site is false.
Besides that, it's not like we've never seen false claims and statements
from Valve
Software before, either. So all this shock and horror from you fanboys at
the report
of another one is quite incomprehensible.

Subject: [hlcoders] Some general questions and some undocumented functions
Hey folks,
Recently I've been looking through hw.dll (just for fun) and managed to
work up a long list of questions - if anyone (perhaps even a Valve
member?) could provide some answers I would be very grateful. Apologies
for the length of this post.
General Questions
=
Why does the decal code handle decals with the name }z_ specially? I
can't quite understand what the code does (floating-point assembly isn't
my strong point).
What determines the colour of text in the new VGUI console? As far as I
can tell, there's no way for it to determine whether the engine or the
game DLL is printing to it yet it variously prints in white or brown.
Regarding the server blending API (SV_StudioSetupBones), why is the
passed in edict_t pointer sometimes NULL? Surely the server always has
all the required data for entities?
Now that player movement is all handled by the client/game DLLs, why
would the engine ever need to find out the texture the player is
standing on (HUD_PlayerMoveTexture)? Or is this an obsolete function now?
Whatever happend to VGUI::GLSurface? The header is there but it's
mostly unimplemented. Is it possible to create your own surface and
have VGUI panels in-game (i.e. like doom3 guis).
Undocumented Functions
==
Poking around I found quite a few functions exposed to the game DLLs
that aren't documented - they're tacked onto the end of existing
interface structures. Some I've managed to figure out, but many are
still a mystery. If anyone knows more (or has the header files - hint
hint Valve ;) ) please let me know. Any function names are taken either
from string literals found in hw.dll or are best guesses based on their
effects.
SV_SaveGameComment
--
Stick this in your server DLL and you can control what goes in the
description field of saved games (appears in the load dialog):
extern C void __declspec(dllexport) SV_SaveGameComment(char *buffer,
int max_length)
{
strcpy( buffer, Hello, world! );
}
HUD_ChatInputPosition

Of course, this DOES open up the downsides of wiki's where people can put up ill written content, or just go around and destroy pages. Someone mentioned Wikipedia, which is a great example of the power of a wiki, but also has a large team of guardian angels which maintain the content against n'er do wells. (Just go look up the history for George W Bush or John Kerry on wikipedia to see this - people routinely knock out these pages and the angels have to restore them sometimes hourly.) One of my favorite wiki software packages is the Twiki package (Twiki.org) as it allows you to host multiple sites easily within on wiki, and allows regular users to create variables on the fly. It uses the variables in a hierarchical way to allow people to customize settings at various levels. (Simple irrelevant example: the entire wiki site may declare a background color, then declare a different one for the individual twiki web, then allow the individual user to declare their own.) This of course can also make it very confusing and overwhelming too. But just about any wiki would work... and really, it doesn't need to be overly complex. Let me do another round of state of the wiki software that I haven't done in a while, and see what I can find that will get us out of the gate quickly. Since there does appear to be at least some interest, I'll likely just get a domain and a cheap linux web host to host it, and maybe accept donations or run google ads if it takes off, to cover my costs.

As it turns out animation with the vgui is very limited , it really only updates about 10 times a second (this Is just an estimate, im not sure what the actually number is) however, I changed it and made the little player's sprites and it runs VERY smooth now, just as smooth as cs. I will add some nice flashing fading effects too when im all done. Perhaps even a tutorial (as long as its not for wavelength, those fuckers banned me), seeing how I don't think anyone has done a client-side radar. Another thing that's good is that's its based off the vgui, the back image scales identical to each resolution.

Tony omega Sergi wrote: It's my understanding from what's been said here by Alfred, and by gabe in various emails to others and postings that, essentially what we're using on steam right now is the equivalent of the 100% steam version, the one you'd get if you bought hl through steam, or used a steam subscription. With that said, unless im reading this entirely wrong, hl2 if you buy it in a store will install just like a regular game; but in order to play online you'd need to have steam running, and have a steam account so that you can authenticate with the servers. Basically like WON already does, except it would be a separate app that hl2 is linked to, instead of being right inside the engine itself. I'm assuming the same will be for half-life, Alfred would you clarify this a little and correct me if I'm wrong please? That after they release the patch, it will patch hl where it sits; just like all other hl patches, but require steam to be running to play online, so its beneficial in that respect to just wait. Mind you, doing testing and debugging etc now would still be a good idea since you'd have all this extra time to make sure it works for people that only have the in-steam version. I've been trying to assimilate as much information as I can, and process and educate other people around me on the situation, but there are still a few areas that I'm not 100% sure on and am only guessing/assuming, and this one is where the patch is concerned. In my opinion, it would be ideal to have it this way as it would solve a lot of headaches, and would prevent everyone having to learn an entire new system for something they've been playing for 5 years. With that said, I'll go with whatever it turns out to be in the end, but this is how I think it is, and when reading it's what I get out of it, but frankly I don't know. Only valve does.

RE: [hlcoders] SDK line crashing linux servers
It's good practice to initialise your variables when you create them. If you don't it may be holding bogus data, therefore not reporting NULL however at the same time, not doing what you want it to do. In your instance, if pPlayer points to *something* but not a valid CBP class, then the first condition of the if statement (!pPlayer = NULL) will return true, and it will then try to call !pPlayer-IsNetClient() causing your crash. It may be working all over in the SDK because in other areas pPlayer is accurate. Check in this instance to ensure it is.

RE: [hlcoders] estimated release date foe hl2 sdk?
I concur. When I started with HL1, I remember I asked a (stupid and well STUPID question in retrospect) 'where is the class def for CBasePlayer'... ok I just hadn't seen player.h but the point remains, questions like How do you add a new client command, how do you send a message to the client, how do events work etc are all now second nature to us due to our familiarity with the HL1 source tree. To start fresh with a new SDK, which will no doubt be totally different and unique will require a steep learning curve. The more time we have to study the code before we can test it means we will have a better understanding to aid in timely releases of mods. I for one can't wait to get my paws on the HL2 SDK to see what its all about. Michael Shimmins Sesechial Software ___ Important - This email and any attachments may be confidential.

RE: [hlcoders] Mods on CD?
Actually I'd be very careful doing that. Who's to say shipping didn't cost $89.90? My point is its not enough to be beyond reproach you have to appear to be beyond reproach. If you really are just charging for shipping, it may look as though you are also making a bit on the side. Apart from that, I don't think you can charge full stop. I remember a few years ago there was a discussion about this and the final answer was you could charge for an internet distribution, but not for a distribution on physical media. I don't know if that has since changed. You should email Eric Smith and ask him. He will pass it onto the relevant legal people. Also on a side note, if you really want to make money from a mod, why not look at more original ways of doing it rather than selling it perse? Banner ads etc for instance. Yahn once said to me that making money is not a good driving force behind the production of a mod. Good advice.

Its because the SDK documentation is a little misleading.
You can't add any extra actual states (as in; you can't add any new bits
to pass over, you can still make as many kbutton_t's as you want
though.) its capped at 16 bit, and theres no way to increase it without
modifying the netcode in the engine.
You'll have to replace IN_ALT1, or the other unused flag that I
discovered the other day; IN_RUN So if you rename IN_RUN to IN_ATTACK3,
it should work. And you'll be able to use IN_ATTACK3 elsewhere on the

Also, if you pull the console down, anything you type in the console is also entered in the text entry field. Does anyone know how to get around these problems? For player movement I just though of setting their velocity to 0, so they can't move, but as for the console?

[hlcoders] Including platform specific headers
This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Hi, I'm wanting to find out what the repercussions were of including platform specific headers (such as windows.h) in an SDK build for a mod. I noticed in VGUI.h the following: //No platform specific code in vgui\lib-src\vgui dir. Code in vgui\lib-src\vgui should //only include from vgui\include or standard C includes. ie, if I see windows.h included //anywhere but vgui\lib-src\win32 I will hunt you down and kill you. Don't give me any crap //that mfc is platform inspecific. Also, if you're happy to restrict your mod to OGL only, are there any problems with inlcuding OGL headers, such as gl\glu.h and gl\gl.h?

RE: [hlcoders] Monster YAW Speeds/Turn Rate
He doesn't mean consistant as in it will always be the same value, but rather using the varying value, you can make things consistant. Take a particle. If you want it to go from orange to red over 10 seconds you would take the last colour, minus the first colour divided by the frame time. That way on everymachine it always gets there at the same time, sure on the higher end machines it may get there more smoothly, but they end up at the same time none the less.

Oh yeah, just noticed this: Frametime is just the amount of time between the last frame, so its always consistent. It's not. The greater the fps, the smaller the value! If you have very low fps, the time between each frame obviously increases. I made a command frametime to print out gpGlobals-frametime in console. 0.035 is for 30fps, 0.01 is for about 120fps (default limit), 0.05 is for 10fps I believe. -Sniper - Original Message - From: omega [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, November 09, 2002 10:43 PM Subject: RE: [hlcoders] Monster YAW Speeds/Turn Rate Actually, you SHOULD want to go by the frametime. I've never seen this thing you report either, on a low end machine, or my current. It's the same as when doing visual effects, ie: with opengl, you want to calculate with the frametime, or else for one person who may get 20fps, things would move slower than a person with 60fps. Frametime is just the amount of time between the last frame, so its always consistent. Ie: if time for one person is 1. in one frame, and 1.1000 in the next, and another person is 1. in one, and 1.0100 in the next, you'd subtract the two and multiply the speed you want to move it so it moves the same distance in the same amount of time. Anyway, as for your turning slower on faster machines, well like caleb said, I've never seen that either.

RE: [hlcoders] help!
Sure you can.
Just make different gamerules for each, and then check a cvar setting
and create the required gamerules based on that cvar value.
Ie:
if ( !gpGlobals-deathmatch )
{
// generic half-life
return new CHalfLifeRules;
}
else
{
if ( CVAR_GET_FLOAT( mp_gamemode ) 0 )
{
// teamplay
return new CHalfLifeTeamplay;
}
if ((int)gpGlobals-deathmatch == 1)
{
// vanilla deathmatch
return new CHalfLifeMultiplay;
}
else
{
// vanilla deathmatch??
return new CHalfLifeTeamplay;
}
}
First of all checks if its a multiplayer (deathmatch) game, if not,
sets the gamerules to the single player gamerules.
If it was a multiplayer game, goes through the different options,
deathmatch classic, teamplay, etc.
Hope that helps,

Shimms,
I think he was asking about an mp3 player (but he made a typo)
In any case, yes you can add an mp3 player to the SP game. There are
quite a few tutorials to do this, a quick search should find them.
