Maybe I'll shutup and go play halflife again :P I only recalled the flashlight :X...

Re: [hlcoders] Blocking players with SteamIDS?
A lot of players have Dynamic IP's Even i have one, I have seen my ip
change from 66.22 to something like 200.xx etc.
most of them could simply reconnect and have a totally different IP, and if
i ban by subnet, i could be banning other
innocent players too. I have had very few steam players on my server
(mainly becuase of the millions of downloads,
i once tried to get in using a steam account, it took over 2 hours(well i
auctually went to sleep but when i got up it was on its last 2-3 files)
to download all the needed files from off the server. (Theres a lot of
models/sounds and stuff). And every time a person with a SteamID
was on, it was a llama, I had problems where vote_kicks in admin mod wouldnt
kick the player (it would say "-1 was kicked due to vote" if it won but the
player stayed in. I saw this happen first hand.) same with all admin
commands, it would have to be done with rcon. and none of my admins have
rcon (they all have admin_kick/ban etc) and these were unkickable/bannable
players. at least for admins without rcon. i would have to ban them
personally.
However i wont block steam players once valve charges for the use of steam,
becuase then at least they would have to setup new billing info every time
they "re-registered" to get a new steamid.

[hlcoders] Blocking players with SteamIDS?
Im just wondering if it would be possible to block anyone with a steam id? I have some llama's which just get banned, re-register with a new email and they get a new steamid, come back on and i have to find them, ban them over and over. Is there a way to block a player from joining the server if they have "STEAM" in thier id?

I believe AdminMOD allows you to block players using a regexp (regular expression) for the WONid or Steam ID. Search the AdminMOD forums, I'm sure lots of other people have already done this. But, you can't do this from the plain vanilla Half-Life banning options.

RE: [hlcoders] Question about decreasing clipping rectangle
I'm guessing that not enough people in the mod community ever played Halflife. :) Halflife has no sprites for either health OR armor. They used numbers for both. You may be however, thinking of the flashlight perhaps? Because that is precisely what was done for the flashlight's battery status.

You could also ban by IP or subnet, could you not? Unless the luser in
question went to the length of getting a new internet account just to annoy
you, this would probably be less discriminatory than simply umbrella-banning
everyone using Steam. I'm sure there are plenty of legitimate players who
use Steam, and they certainly don't deserve to be arbitrarily banned because
of the actions of a few idiots.

No unfortunately that's not what It did, it drew an additive cross sprite and then drew a FillRGB bar around it, not what I'm trying to do for many reasons one big one is the fact that 255 alpha ...is still too transparent with any color you use in fillrgb, If i look into the light or bring it by bright textures :P it looks like im running on empty :) besides sprite usage is much mroe colorful and visual, which is the whole reason im writing this game as a 3d mod instead of a MUD like the normal projects I work on.(For the visual effects heh, for people who don't know what standard mud's are) ___ 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] Question about decreasing clipping rectangle
That Doesn't work(using a temporary rect, as the rect to use for my parameters and shrinking), I run my debugger and every pass through the draw function the height becomes smaller and smaller and the y grows bigger, and the top member becomes very large. What I believe I did wrong is I'm directly changing the memory of the sprite rect itself becuse i'm merely assigning my wrect_t pointer the address of my getspriterect returned memory, I guess i'm going to have to use memcpy and copy it over and use it like that, or use SPR_scissor. I -think- I haven't tried implementing it I am however 99.9% sure that will fix my whole problem :) BUT, that's not the question. I'm now asking from a designers point of view, I have multiple bar's that need to be decreased and increased altogether(and not based on x/100 either, much bigger and smaller), now do you people think I should use SPR_scissor, or my memcpy method ? I want to use the one that will be the quicker and less expensive on the resources, and Me being new to this and not having the proper time to test that at all, am wondering if the wise all experienced members of this list could enlighten me on their opinion of which one to use, or another method at all. (the reason it became smaller and smaller through every pass is because i believe I have to suicide to get out of a flaw in the map and it set's my health down to 0 and kills me of course :)) Thanks for the help :) Pj Bean Lead Coder of SR (http://www.sr.flagrun.net) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:hlcoders-admin@;list.valvesoftware.com]On Behalf Of Pat Magnan Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2002 11:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Question about decreasing clipping rectangle At 05:56 PM 10/23/2002 -0700, you wrote: >I've got another question, I'm interested in using 2 sprite graphics, one is >a picture of a full health bar, >and the other is a picture of an empty health bar, the empty bar has the >full bar copied on top of it*layered over* ... snip .. One way to do this is to: - get the rectangle for the sprite (in vidinit, stored in some member variable) - I used a temporary RECT, which is initialized to that dereferenced pointer - I calculate the height (rect.bottom - rect.top) --> see below * - I calculate an offset (height - (height * health / 100) - Add this offset to the rect.top (+=) --> again, explained below * - Set the sprite - draw the sprite, passing this modified local variable rect as the fourth parameter to SPR_Draw, and using the stored offset to determine where to draw the top (y+offset). * Ok, why was I adding rather than subtracting? 0, 0 is the top left corner of the screen (like Windows GDI graphics), so to move stuff lower, you need to add, not subtract. So the height of things is rect.bottom - rect.top (not the other way about, mind you you might be able to add that way since you'd get -ve numbers -- but I much prefer to add or subtract rather than adding negatives, also you'd have no clue they were negative values in the code, so you could mess up changing it later). So what you're seeing is as it should be, if you subtract, you'll move it UP the screen. And you need to not only shorten your bar, you need to move it down the screen as it gets smaller (in effect you're moving the top down the screen, not just making the top closer to the bottom). You can also use scissoring to do this, I'm not sure the precise approach, but I imagine it is somewhat similar.
