Huh... everyone I talked to said that didn't work at all. I'll look into
it further.

Subject: [hlcoders] Compiling on Visual Studio 2008
Reply-To: [email protected]
I'm getting ready to write up my article regarding the Source SDK and
making it work on Visual Studio 2008. That being said, I need a
little help.
1. Those of you that have made the mod work on Visual Studio 2008,
please send me a message with what you did to make it work. I want
to make sure I'm on the same page with everyone else and have
explored all the possible options.
2. Once I've written the article, I need people to proof it for me.
Not just for errors, but I need to make sure my steps work with
all editions of Visual Studio 2008. I'll be writing the tutorial
and taking the screenshots with Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition,
not full-blown Visual Studio 2008.
I would appreciate the assistance, it should help me get this churned
out and refined a little faster. Thanks!

How do I do that? I'm sorry because I do not have much experience
with C++
codes, much less the source codes.

Off the top of my head ( don't have the codebase here at work ), you
should decrease the values rather than increase them, since these
are the
values used to compare against the actual players' speed, which is
calculated elsewhere. However, if you say nothing's changed maybe your
problem is elsewhere; if you increase them e.g. with a factor 2 I'd
have
expected the move_x to be 0.12 rather than 0.24. Still, you should
debug
your code and see why move_x is at 0.24; it's your main problem.

In sdk_playeranimstate.cpp
#define ANIM_TOPSPEED_WALK 100
#define ANIM_TOPSPEED_RUN 250
#define ANIM_TOPSPEED_RUN_CROUCH 85
I tried changing the values from 100 to 300, 250 to 1000, but there
wasn't
any difference made.

your blendwidth parameters are default.
Look at the same output of cl_showanimstate 1. At the bottom it
should
show you your move_x pose parameter, I suspect it's at 0.24 too.
Then look in the code why it is at 0.24. I'm not sure where it's
calculated ( in the engine ? ) but based on a comment line it looks
like
it's a division of your current speed and
CBasePlayerAnimState::GetCurrentMaxGroundSpeed().
Basically, as minh said, your player is running with a speed that
is 24
percent of what your code says is it's maximal speed. Fix that,
and the
anim should play properly. [ Look at the implementation of
GetCurrentMaxGroundSpeed() if I'm not mistaken, there's some
constants
in
there you may want to modify for your mod ]

It's
not the weightlist, those modulate the weight per bone afterwards,
the
problem here is sooner.
It's related to eg
blendwidth 3 blend move_y -1 1 blend move_x 1 -1 loop
in your qc. The next step in your debugging is seeing why the
weight
of
the anim is 0.24. You should look at the move_x pose parameter.
Similarly,
you want it to be 1.0 when running forward. If it is at 1.0, then
that
means you should look at your .qc values and you're doing something
wrong
there. If it is not at 1.0, which I expect (it's probably at 0.24
itself),
then you should indeed look at your runspeeds and how the move_x
poseparam
is computed. Either modify your move speed, or modify the
calculation
of
the move_x parameter so it reflects what you want.

when i press "W" run forward, the weight is 0.24, so i guess thats
where
the
problem lies? how do i change the weights?

$weightlist in the .qc file has little to do with your problem
right
now..
You're problem as you have described it seems to be that it's not
playing
the correct sequence. Like Marteen said, type in
cl_showanimstate 1
and look at what is being played...

so by using the command $weightlist in the .qc?

use cl_showanimstate 1 ( or something similar, I've become too

forward,
you're playing the run forward animation with weight 1.0. If
that's
not
the case, there's your bug already, it's probably badly set up
pose

your

you
either have a problem during export or in the .qc, or you're
in
(a)

Not only the jump animation. The run animation is working,
but
not
totally.
The animation is supposed to be a run, but when WASD is
pressed,
the
animation in game is just taking small steps.

ok, I'm sorry but spewing out everything you've done since
you
were
born
doesn't make it any easier for us to decipher what the
problem
is...
If the jumping stuff isn't working, try finding out what
exactly
happens
when you press the jump key. Go to sdk_gamemovement.cpp and
look
for
a
function called "CheckJumpButton"
Investigage what that function is doing and maybe it will
lead
you
to
why
your jump animatons aren't working.

We got a help from this coder, he walked us through to
change
the
codes,
now
I cant seem to get him back.
After this major change in the codes, i changed the
player's
animation
to
a
9way blend, it seems to work, but not totally.
The running animations dun work out totally, as in
instead
of
running,
they
were like walking very small steps.
And also the jump animations doesn't work anymore.
Does anyone knows the problem? Is it that we missed out
some
codes?
