You need to search through the symbol table for hlds at runtime. I found some code to do this, (http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/274283/2002-07-10/2002-07-16/2), and I modified for c++ and fixed some various issues this morning. Theres probably a way to do something comparable under Win32, but from the sounds of it, this isnt a problem there.... There was a message on this list back at the end of august where someone was asking for ways to call CBasePlayer::TakeDamage since we dont have the source code for the particular version, I found a manual way to find the addresses, but no automatic way until now. There is still no way I know of to set variables on classes, though there probably is a way through the symbol table as well.. Let me know if you want that code --__--__-- Message: 2 Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2003 14:19:16 -0800 From: "Alfred Reynolds" To: Subject: [hlcoders] RE: Strange behavior of Steam HUD say text? Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Does this happen with CS? I believe this is because TFC doesn't support the new VGUI2 style text printing interface and the old interface had a weird timing dependency on setting text colours. The change to the VGUI2 font printing (required for Asiatic languages and for higher screen resolutions) removed this timing requirement but may have made mods running with the old interface sensitive to incorrect colors. We don't have a timetable for updating TFC of HLDM at this time, I will have a look if there is another solution. For other mods you should always call gEngfuncs.pfnDrawSetTextColor() before doing any engine string printing. - Alfred > -----Original Message----- > From: Digital Widget Support [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2003 8:12 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Strange behavior of Steam HUD say text? > > I've noticed some strange behavior of HUD say text under Steam/TFC. > Specifically, say text (ClientPrint, whether it be from > StatsMe, AdminMod, > C-D, etc) seems to be affected by the presence of other HUD > messages (like > an AM csay, or UTIL_ShowMessage). > > Say text will fade out in sync with existing HUD messages, > and then snap > back to the appropriate color once the HUD message disappears.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] StatsMe no longer updates the player->armor value. It stays at the spawned/max value. Were there any changes made to the Battery message in Steam/TFC?

I'd appreciate that, is this affects a lot of mods and makes it almost impossible to read at times. --__--__-- Message: 6 Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2003 09:28:57 +0100 From: Florian Zschocke To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Player Revival on Linux Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Even when I removed the direct variable calls and checked for NULL it sti= ll crashed the server.
