-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I need to know if anyone is able to implement a sort of grapple hook device to a physical body, ie, you shoot the hook from your hand then you can control the lift and maybe swing while still firing your weapon..
Any ideas on where to start with this?

That's fine and dandy however I have a few more gamemodes in the works and would rather be able to get and entity to define the gamemodes. Is that possible. I have tried to find a way of finding specific entities right before the call to the CreateGameRules( "gamerulesname" ); but to no avail, is it because the entities haven't been parsed yet and I am SOL and have to base all gamerules on mapnames and the honor system? -Thanks Guys Andrew --__--__-- Message: 2 Date: Thu, 02 Jun 2005 09:44:32 -0500 From: "Jeffrey \"botman\" Broome" To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Different Gamerules based on mapname or entities Reply-To: [email protected] Andrew (British_Bomber) wrote: > > That's fine and dandy however I have a few more gamemodes in the works > and would rather be able to get and entity to define the gamemodes. > Is that possible. > Why can't you create a single GameRules class that handles all the different types of gameplay that you want (instead of trying to spawn a different type of class for each type of gameplay)? -- Jeffrey "botman" Broome --__--__-- Message: 3 Date: Thu, 2 Jun 2005 16:50:02 +0100 From: "Andrew (British_Bomber)" To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Different Gamerules based on mapname or entities Reply-To: [email protected] Don't know really, the mod team decided they wanted 3 different gameplays, 2 of which were similar and the other 1 being completely different I thought I would break it into 2 gameplays rather than run checks everytime on whether a feature was enabled or not. I take it no one has every created a mod that used multiplegamerules... lol well that's what I get for trying to be clever. --__--__-- Message: 4 Date: Thu, 2 Jun 2005 09:09:35 -0700 From: Tim Holt To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [hlcoders] VGUI graphics primitives (DrawLine) on a 3d space vgui_screen? Reply-To: [email protected] I figured this out by the way. Ends up the lines were being drawn behind the background of the VGUI panel. By removing the background I got them to show up. IT means I end up with a transparent panel, however by placing it in front of a black brush based background it works fine.

I suppose if you really wanted to, you could create code to open the map file, read through the entities yourself to find the "gamerules" entity, then create a gamerules class that matches the type speified by the entity in the map. -- Jeffrey "botman" Broome --__--__-- Message: 6 From: "Tony \"omega\" Sergi" To: Subject: RE: [hlcoders] Different Gamerules based on mapname or entities Date: Thu, 2 Jun 2005 12:29:13 -0400 Reply-To: [email protected] Exactly. You just make a single gamerules class, like CModGamerules which has different thinks, if the rules are totally different, and runs in diff ways etc etc. default it to "not initialized" create an entity like I dunno, uhh, info_frontline. When info_frontline is spawned, call Gamerules->Initialize(mode); (or whataver) with whatever mode., Now the gamerules think function can call other loop funcs. Ie: I have like this for example: void CHL2MPRules::Think() { If mode == tactics tacticsthink() else if mode == classic classicthink() } Blah blah It's simple if ya use your noggin, and think about It [EMAIL PROTECTED] ps listen to botman.

How can I make the out porition solid ? I thought we could do it in photoshop by making the center alpha'd and the outside of it solid but that isn't working as expected. I currently have "UnlitGeneric" { "$baseTexture" "effects/nightvision" //"$vertexalpha" 1 "$additive" 1 } which gives the following http://www.totalretribution.com/r00t316/shouldbesolid.JPG If i change it to "UnlitGeneric" { "$baseTexture" "effects/nightvision" "$vertexalpha" 1 // "$additive" 1 } then it looks like http://www.totalretribution.com/r00t316/nvgbroke.JPG as you can see the center green is missing. Also it does not brighten things up either. Is it possible to darken the sides like the nvgbroke.JPG but allow it to brighten up things like nvgon.JPG?
