It would take too much time and a good programmer would be able to figure it out anyways by reading the code. I think what we are indeed missing is a tutorial on file organisation. Valve has not said anything yet on how to deploy a MOD to a target user's machine. Do we create our own folder? Do we create a folder inside the hl2/ dir, how do we get the mod to show up in steam, etc... As for the code, basically you have base classes (the regular named classes) and your own classes for your mod (usually have SDK in the name and are contained in file starting by sdk_). As omega said (either here or on wavelength, can't remember), basically you modify these files and add onto them to make your own mod. The HL2_DLL folder is to give you the example of an actual game done with the SDK, nothing more. After that there's neat little pages like these : http://www.t-computers.co.uk/sniperumm/ that have popped up to help you. They basically turn the class hierarchy into a more human-readable format with graphs, etc... They can be helpful but they can also be confusing, it's up to each person to see wether it helps them or hinders their progression. All i can say is i felt a bit like i did at first when i opened the HL1 SDK for the first time: confused! Lots of files, lots of new names reffering to things unknown to me, etc... Knowing the HL1 SDK's naming scheme helped a lot, but there's still new stuff you need to learn, and especially the new class hierarchy and where your functions are. I find myself thinking alot like Where did they put InstallGameRules in this thing or Hmm now they have a class for a sphere find instead of just a function... . I say the best way is still to dig in, there's no head or tails to the SDK, just possible entry points. Start with gamerules maybe, or network code, or weapons, they're all good starting points :) ___ 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] vgui_controls
vgui_controls.vcproj contains all these files. If you want to change the base vgui behavior you can edit these files and use the vcproj to rebuild the library. Note that if you do this you do it at your own risk (as we will be changing this library over time), the code it meant as a reference rather than a working code base.

The typedef is something that our library of macros use (in particular
the panel map functionality for vgui2). This derivation is the correct
way to alter vgui behavior (inheriting the base functionality and then
you can override member functions to make it behave how you want).

PrecacheSound() will not cause the file to be downloaded to the client (it just causes the client to try to precache it if it exists on disk). We will investigate having it trigger a download also.

RE: [hlcoders] Half-Life 2 has hosed itself!
Delete any SteamApp.cfg files you have on disk (this update removes the need for them) and also delete any Steam.dll files you may have copied around (except for, of course, the one in the base steam install directory). - Alfred Original Message From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Skyler York Sent: Monday, December 20, 2004 6:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [hlcoders] Half-Life 2 has hosed itself! As the subject suggests, this latest update really hosed over my Half-Life 2 installation. After starting Steam and receiving the new update, here's what happened: 1) Steam updates and the Play Games window opens. 2) I double-click on the Half-Life 2 icon in the Steam menu. 3) Preparing to play dialog pops up, then disappears. Cursor turns to busy hourglass. 4) A few seconds later is when Half-Life 2 *usually* starts up. However it doesn't now. Instead, the cursor just turns back into normal and nothing happens. 5) I check the process window, and there is indeed a hl2.exe running the background taking up a mere 4 kb of memory. 6) I attempt to load the Source SDK app (with hl2.exe still in the background) and get this intimidating messagebox: SteamStartup() failed: SteamStartup(0xf,0x12f69c) failed with error 1 : failed to take master pipe connection lock, Win32 Error 2 The system cannot find the file specified. 7) So I shutdown the hl2.exe process and try again. However the error persists. 8) At this point, Steam won't close normally and I have to end that process too. Shutting down Steam resets everything back to it's original state where I can reproduce the above procedure again and again, and receive the same errors. If I go to Source SDK before attempting to run HL2, then it works without problem and Steam shutdowns normally. I get the same error with HL2DM and starting up HL2 with my mod in the -game path. In other words, the problems only start if HL2 is invoked in some way. Restarting the computer didn't help. I thought it was something I did with the SDK, so I re-downloaded that, refreshed everything etc., and the error persisted. I've done everything short of re-downloading Half-Life 2. I'm thinking that somewhere along the line my Filesystem_Steam.dll or Steam.dll got messed up. Between this update and the last update, I *did* copy Filesystem_Steam.dll from half-life 2/bin to sourcesdk/bin because Hammer was complaining about not being able to find it. But that's the only subversive change I've made. All these problems seem to relate to the system, and I know that this last update changed the directory structure a bit. If you need any more information I'd be happy to provide you with it. In the meantime I will give in and re-download Half-Life 2 (all 838 megs, jeez) and see if that helps.

Actually, try

Also make sure sv_unlockedchapters is set to 1 for your mod (i.e your
mod has a cfg/config.cfg so the base hl2 one doesn't get run).

RE: [hlcoders] quick menu question
Each frame is an independent entity with respect to mouse and keyboard input. You can have one frame create another frame that could accept user input. A frame is a popup, a root level container, when painting it isn't clipped by its parent (its visibility is controlled by the parent however).

I was looking at the included game menus and on the

changing the player name from the menu, and it works. That field is

NameEntry

Where is this CCvarTextEntry from? It's not one of the options on the
vgui ingame menu builder, and if I manually edit my resource file to
make another text field with control name CCvarTextEntry then it
doesn't show up. I've tried searching the source code for
CvarTextEntry, and found no results. What do I need to do to be able
to use that control on my custom menus and where to I define what

Firstly, don't keep calling LoadSchemeFromFile(), just call it once per
scheme you will ever use (so in a constructor somewhere). Then in your
reset code just do a SetScheme( scheme id ) on the panels you want to
change for the player. You then need to call InvalidateLayout( false,

Hi,
I've been recently working on getting multiple schemes to work into
my MOD. Basically every time you switch teams, i reload the scheme
you have with the one corresponding to your team, so your VGUI's
skin changes to fit your team.
I've ran into quite a few problems, but right now the one i'm working
on has me boggled and if anyone has any ideas on how to fix it I'd
appreciate the help:
I'm trying to get my scoreboard title to show up in red. The Scheme
res file says that all the Label.something elements have my custom
colors, namely the text is supposed to show up in red and not in
orange. When i first join my game i start in a game room type of
place where you have no weapons and must walk into a certain area to
join a team. In that area i am using the default scheme. When you
join a team it reloads the scheme based on your team. I've been using
ApplySchemeSettings and basically the Scoreboard class reloads it's
scheme every time it is Reset(). I've made up a function in the
C_BasePlayer class that returns the right name for the scheme called
GetSchemeName(bool withExtension). Here's the code in Reset():
char szSchemeName[128];
C_BasePlayer *pPlayer = C_BasePlayer::GetLocalPlayer();
vgui::HScheme scheme;
if (pPlayer) {
strcpy(szSchemeName,resource/);
strcat(szSchemeName,pPlayer-GetSchemeName(true));
scheme = vgui::scheme()-LoadSchemeFromFile(
szSchemeName,pPlayer-GetSchemeName(false) );
}
else {
strcpy(szSchemeName,resource/ClientScheme.res);
scheme = vgui::scheme()-LoadSchemeFromFile( szSchemeName,
ClientScheme ); }
// set the scheme before any child control is created

ApplySchemeSettings(vgui::scheme()-GetIScheme( scheme ));
m_pPlayerList-SetScheme(scheme);
m_pPlayerList-SetVerticalScrollbar(true);
//Warning(CClientScoreBoardDialog::Reset()\n);
Here i realise i am not telling the Title Label to update it's
scheme, but i thought VGUI would do that automatically... This is
what disturbs me, why isn't it propagating on it's own the Scheme
settings...
Anyways, i added this code:
vgui::Label* pTitle = (vgui::Label*)(FindChildByName(ServerName));
if (pTitle)
pTitle-SetScheme(scheme);
else
Warning(Couldn't Find Child Named \ServerName\ in
CClientScoreBoardDialog::Reset()\n);
The code produces no warning, yet the text color doesn't change for
the title Label. I am at a loss as to why this is happening, the
Label function ApplySchemeSettings() is protected... So i decided
to un-protect it and see what would happen when i called it along
with SetScheme.. Turns out the linker gives me an error (wich was
predictable) about unresolved external...
So Valve, anyone else, how do i get this title to change it's scheme?

RE: [hlcoders] Re: Custom Schemes (again)
Drop a breakpoint on the ApplySchemeSettings() call in your panel and
verify it picks up the scheme change and retrieves the new colors (and
then internally does a SetFgColor() or the like to cause the label to
paint with the new color).

(again)
So i am now loading all my schemes in the CBaseViewport Constructor
like so: vgui::HScheme scheme;
vgui::scheme()-LoadSchemeFromFile(resource/VaminScheme.res,VaminSche
me);
vgui::scheme()-LoadSchemeFromFile(resource/AbsentisScheme.res,Absent
isScheme);
vgui::scheme()-LoadSchemeFromFile(resource/OrderScheme.res,OrderSche
me);
scheme =
vgui::scheme()-LoadSchemeFromFile(resource/ClientScheme.res,
ClientScheme);
Then in my Scoreboard's reset i have:
C_BasePlayer *pPlayer = C_BasePlayer::GetLocalPlayer();
vgui::HScheme scheme;
if (pPlayer) {
scheme = vgui::scheme()-GetScheme(
pPlayer-GetSchemeName(false) ); }
else {
scheme = vgui::scheme()-GetScheme( ClientScheme );
}
// set the scheme before any child control is created
SetScheme(scheme);
InvalidateLayout(false,true);
vgui::Label* pTitle =
(vgui::Label*)(FindChildByName(ServerName)); if (pTitle) {
pTitle-SetScheme(scheme);
pTitle-InvalidateLayout(false,true);
}
m_pPlayerList-SetScheme(scheme);
m_pPlayerList-InvalidateLayout(false,true);
And the colors are still default HL2 orange... I can't figure out
what's wrong with my code, in debug the HScheme scheme var is set
correctly to a low number (usually 3, 4 or 5 depending on my team),
the functions get called right, but the colors just won't change :(

RE: [hlcoders] Adding other languages .. (localization)
snip I have a couple of questions .. I read that Korean and Chinese have complex scripts .. and I was wondering how is the input parsed and everything .. did you guys at Valve write your own code or did you call some windows APIs to do that? We use a window API for character input (IME in particular) with some VGUI2 wrappers to expose its functionality (like changing keyboard language). Also, is it possible to manipulate the console? atleast after my mod loads? Adding text to it yes, changing its layout no. and something that is not directly related: how does Source map the keyboard buttons to their corresponding unicode characters? We process the WM_CHAR/WM_SYSCHAR windows message that provides unicode characters directly. - Alfred On Tue, 1 Feb 2005 16:55:46 -0700, Hasan Aljudy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I know this is old :) two monthes old, but anyway.

No (in general, typically it will work). Retrieval of the network ID is an asynchronous operation, it can complete at any time (hence the network ID callback for plugins).

RE: [hlcoders] VGUI is trapping the keyboard code!!!
You can't have the scoreboard intercept keyboard events

process them ( which also means OnKeyCodePressed() won't be called as
the scoreboard won't get key presses).

Subject: [hlcoders] VGUI is trapping the keyboard code!!!
Hi,
I added a OnKeyCodePressed function to the scoreboard to intercept the
jump key events and toggle the mouse on and off when the user presses
the jump key (keycode is getched with
gameuifuncs-GetVGUI2KeyCodeForBind( jump ); )
All worked fine and dandy till i realised that this effectively prevents
any movement while my scoreboard is up (mouse mode or no mouse mode).
I poked around and found that the client.dll needs to tell the engine
wether or not to handle the key event (for such things as chatting).
This is also fine but i don't see the code for this in the vgui2.lib
project.
So my question is simple, how do i make it so my panel doesn't trap
the code and so that it gets processed on the server even when the
scoreboard is up?
Here's the function: (m_iJumpKey is the ID of the key corresponding to
the jump bind.) void CClientScoreBoardDialog::OnKeyCodePressed(KeyCode
code) {
if (m_iJumpKey != KEY_NONE m_iJumpKey == code )
{
if (m_bInMouseMode)
SetMouseInputEnabled(false);
else
SetMouseInputEnabled(true);
m_bInMouseMode = !m_bInMouseMode;
}
else
{
BaseClass::OnKeyCodePressed( code );
}
}
The BaseClass (vgui::Panel) only handles the escape key...
I wouldn't mind using say right click mouse to toggle, but to capture
that event i need to SetMouseInputEnabled(true); wich pops up the cursor
anyways and doesn't help me at all...
Thanks in advance...
Imperio59.

One guess that I have, is that KeyValues has more methods than is really needed for game events. KeyValues has extra things for getting and setting pointer and color data types. Events only use Bool, Int, Float, and String data types so those extra methods are not needed for events. And I would guess that is why IGameEvent is used instead now. However, by using IGameEvent, a little power is lost as a result. With KeyValues I was able to determine the data type of a particular param/argument and also iterate through the list of params/arguments for an event that had occurred. This kind of thing was very useful for creating a logging system to print data about every event that occurs without having to explicitly get the value of a key. I did not have to actually know the names of all the event params in order to do this. I have noticed that I am currently still able to use the older IGameEventListener to do what I want, however the comments in igamevents.h state it should not be used and is for legacy support. Is there a particular reason that I should not use the older one? And is there any chance for IGameEvent to be expanded to allow for iteration of the event's params/arguments because I would like to use the newer interface, but it doesn't provide everything I need at the moment. ___ 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 ___ 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
[hlcoders] Server query protocol
We will be revising the Source server query format in the near future to remove some architectural problems with it. All the existing queries apart from PING will be altered by this change (i.e will require your tools to be updated). There will be a period where both systems coincide but we want to be aggressive in removing support for the old protocol. This change may be ported to the HL1 engine also. We have been assessing various protocols (both from other vendors and from the public), this is your chance to request features or suggest other standards to consider. The current plan is to make the minimal set of changes to remove the problems we found (making it easier for tools to update) but as we are breaking the protocol we are open to larger changes.

[hlcoders] RE: [hlds_apps] Server query protocol
We will be releasing an update later this week or early next week with an updated query protocol. To enable this change to be deployed quickly we will be minimising the changes this time around. I will be writing a more detailed document describing the various valid Source server queries as a part of the SDK documentation, but in the mean time here is a brief description of the changes that will be made. A challenge value will now required for all query responses (A2S_INFO, A2S_PLAYER, A2S_RULES) except for A2S_PING. The challenge value is a 4 byte value. You can either explicitly request a challenge value via a new query A2S_SERVERQUERY_GETCHALLENGE (ascii W) or implicitly get a challenge value by sending a dummy challenge value of -1 (0x) to any query (that requires a challenge). The response to A2S_SERVERQUERY_GETCHALLENGE (and an implicit challenge) will be S2C_CHALLENGE (ascii 'A' ) followed by a 4 byte value that is the challenge value. The challenge value should be appended to the end of the existing query request packets. Queries that use strings to specify the query type (i.e. 0xplayers) will NO LONGER be supported. You MUST update to the new A2S_* style queries. The byte values for each request type is: #define A2S_INFO'T' // server info request - this must match the Goldsrc engine #define A2S_PLAYER 'U' // request player list #define A2S_RULES 'V' // request rules list from server #define A2S_SERVERQUERY_GETCHALLENGE'W' // Request challenge # from another machine These values are supported by the currently shipped Source engine if you want to start on your changes now. A challenge value is valid for 60 minutes or until the server flushes your challenge from its LRU cache (which can handle 16K elements), so you should attempt to cache a challenge value rather than continually requesting it. A challenge value is not required when querying servers within the same B class address range as the server (i.e LAN style requests), you should specify a challenge value of -1 (0x) in these cases. Note that you can still use a valid challenge value in these cases, its value will be ignored however. The initial rollout will support both old and new style queries (i.e with and without challenges). We expect to disable the old protocol within a couple WEEKS of the initial rollout. The cvar sv_enableoldqueries will control the servers ability to answer old style requests (when it is set to 1 it will reply to old style queries). To aid in development and testing you can disable ignoring challenges from local B class clients by setting the cvar sv_allowlocalquery to 0 (i.e if sv_allowlocalquery is 0 then any query will follow the rules set by the sv_enableoldqueries cvar). This change will also be applied to HL1 based game servers once the Source rollout is complete. - Alfred On Mon, 21 Feb 2005, Alfred Reynolds wrote: We will be revising the Source server query format in the near future to remove some architectural problems with it.

CBaseEntity * pBase=pEntity-GetUnknown()-GetBaseEntity();
if (pBase) {
CBaseCombatCharacter * pCombat = pBase-MyCombatCharacterPointer();
if (pCombat) {
pCombat-Spawn();

}
This works fine, I just tested it, and it loads on the server. If you

let me know and I'll post it.

Thanks. Here's my suspicious code:

}

}
This is in SekkusuServerPlugin::ClientCommand( edict_t *pEntity )
If I comment out the code changing m_iClip1 and m_iClip2, it still
won't load, but when I comment out CBaseCombatWeapon * pWeapon =
pBase-MyCombatCharacterPointer()-GetActiveWeapon();
It loads fine but I lose any functionality. The weird thing is
that the code _should_ never execute until I send the command
!giveammo in the

and it compiles/builds fine it just won't load. I'm using the
Counter-Strike: Source most recent dedicated server DLL.

RE: [hlcoders] Pure Virtual method called server crash
Ahh, technically correct, the best kind ;-) Yup, I should have said
make. A program like ctags could do this for you (once you integrate
it into the makefile) but I typically just do a full rebuild each time
for linux.

RE: [hlcoders] Pure Virtual method called server crash
No idea sorry, never actually tried using it (saw a few projects using
it and guessed at its purpose :)
Now if only QT had a BSD style license... :)

I use qmake whenever possible, it is quite effective at generating
makefiles.
It is also capable of generating project files for windows compilers but
fortunately I dont have to use that functionality very often.
Wouldnt ctags miss changes to functions defined in header files?

Simple, use an animated texture instead of a font for your crosshair (file type instead of font type in weapon script file, after the selection icon definitions), then use a certain frame based on how large the reticle needs to be, or you could have different textures for each frame, but that'd be cumbersome and less practical :) -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

RE: [hlcoders] Texturing a HuD Element -- need help
m_nBgTextureId1 is a panel animation var, in its defintion you can see
the texture file it loads. You should use an ImagePanel to draw an
image. If you must do all the work by hand then try something like this:
vgui::surface()-DrawSetTextureFile(m_nTextureID, vgui/ammobg,
true, false);
vgui::surface()-DrawSetColor(_color[0], _color[1], _color[2],
_color[3]);
vgui::surface()-DrawTexturedRect( 0, 0, 100, 100 );
Note that _color[3] needs to be greater than zero otherwise the texture
isn't rendered (since it has no alpha value :). Also note that you call
DrawSetTextureFile() each time you paint (in case the texture was
flushed from the texture cache during the last frame, the underlying
code only reloads the file if required).

Come on, somebody out there must have textured a hud element
successfully.
Any ideas?

Subject: [hlcoders] Texturing a HuD Element -- need help
Hello again, I am still running into difficulties with texturing hud
elements.
I have tried both PaintBackgroundType 1 and 2, and my texture keeps
showing up as a black box, which when i pull up a weapon -- the box
seems to be behind it. Do I need to do a MoveToFront here?
The texture also shows up fine if I display it using an ImagePanel
element on a menu loaded from a res file. What could cause it not to
show up correctly in a hud element? Has anyone else had this?
Additionally, I did track down the m_nBgTextureId1 variable in the Panel
class, but I do not see where you can put a value into that variable.
There is no SetTexture() function, nor any other function where an
argument is passed and set as m_nBgTextureId1's value.
Here is some of my code:
CHudAmmoBg::CHudAmmoBg( const char *pElementName ) : CHudElement(
pElementName ), BaseClass(NULL, HudAmmoBg) {
DevMsg(Ammo Bg Loaded\n);
vgui::Panel *pParent = g_pClientMode-GetViewport();
SetParent( pParent );
m_nTextureID = vgui::surface()-CreateNewTextureID();
vgui::surface()-DrawSetTextureFile( m_nTextureID, vgui/ammobg
, true, true);
SetHiddenBits( HIDEHUD_PLAYERDEAD );
}
void CHudAmmoBg::ApplySchemeSettings( IScheme *scheme ) {
BaseClass::ApplySchemeSettings( scheme );
SetPaintBackgroundEnabled( true );
}
void CHudAmmoBg::Paint( void )
{
vgui::surface()-DrawSetTexture( m_nTextureID );
vgui::surface()-DrawTexturedRect( 0, 0, 100, 100 ); }
I have placed the ammobg.vtf .vmt in resource/vgui/ammobg, AND in
materials/vgui/ammobg (this is the appropriate place I believe) and the
results are the same.
Thanks,
-Gabe

PaintBackgroundType type 0 simply draws a filled rect of BgColor(), type
1 draws a background texture filling the entire background (drawn from
m_nBgTextureId1), type 2 draws a filled in rect of BgColor() with
rounded corners (4 textures, one on each corner). See
vgui2\controls\Panel.cpp for details.
