[hlcoders] Zoner's Half Life Tools license
Hello all, I was trying to find out how the source to ZHLT is licensed, but I don't see any thing in the source distribution that says anything about it. Basically, I've made some modifications and wanted to know what my rights responsibilities are in redistributing the source and/or binaries. Also, I wanted to know whether there was any restriction on the use of the source - for example, could I use parts of it to create a different tool (for processing a bsp file) and if so, could I release the source code? So, does anyone know how it's licensed? Or at least who owns the rights to it? (Valve? Gearbox?) Thanks in advance.

It should compile clean under gcc 2.95.2 and gcc 3.2. James Couzens wrote: Any chance it will be GCC friendly out of the box?

[hlcoders] Half-Life 2 / Source Mod FAQ
I've posted a Half-Life 2 / Source Mod FAQ at the Collective, here: http://collective.valve-erc.com/?go=source_mod_faq It is comprised of questions received through email, seen on forums, and answered in interviews. As I receive more (and more, and more) email, I'll be adding more content to this FAQ. All of the content in this FAQ is checked through the Half-Life 2 team, so it should be fairly accurate, minus my own typos. :) I will be keeping it focused mainly on modding related questions and engine specs and guidelines that affect mods (map size, polygon budget, etc).

Re: [hlcoders] Zoner's Half Life Tools license
[ Converted text/html to text/plain ] I'd say that if you wish to distribute it, as long as you keep it free then you shouldn't have any problems. You could also use it for another tool as long as you also allow that to be free. If you chose to release it, because there's nothing that says you can't keep it internal also. That's just my speculation. If anything, Merl and I have also made changes to the tools and have released both the source and new binaries, and we're not getting any flak (or will I have spoken too soon ;) ). And botman made a few tools as well, and there's a good chance he took some BSP loading code from the tools' source so he wouldn't have to write it from scratch. Well, that's what I would do. Hey we'll see what he says :) From: botman Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Zoner's Half Life Tools license Date: Mon, 7 Jul 2003 14:07:28 -0500 I was trying to find out how the source to ZHLT is licensed, but I don't see any thing in the source distribution that says anything about it.

[hlcoders] Valve? Client Side Traces
This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I'm just curious if client side traces will be fixed in the next HL Patch? Ie: hitboxes aren't checked. PM_NORMAL functions JUST as PM_STUDIO_BOX. This screws up weapon prediction, especially when the weapons have penetration.

[hlcoders] Client-Side Hitbox Tracing
--
--
As some of you know valve disabled hit-box tests for client-side
tracelines. This causes problems with inconsistent hits between the
client and server, leading to many OMG HAXXOR I SHOT YOU!!111s. To fix
this, I implemented my own hitbox tests using the ray-polyhedron
intersection algorithm from Graphics Gems II. Code is attached.
g_BonePositions[n] is the stored value of m_pbonetransform after
StudioDrawPlayer for player index n+1.

[hlcoders] Client-Side Hitbox Tracing
Sorry if this got sent a second time, my first message did not go
through as of a day later...
Anyway, as some of you know valve removed client-side hitbox tracing
from 1110 for whatever reason, meaning that if any traceline hits a
player hull, it will count as hitting a player, leading to eg players
seeing other players bleed when they shoot them between the legs or
above the shoulder. This becomes quite annoying...here is how you can
get hitbox testing on the client for more consistent hit detection:
g_BonePositions are bonetransform values for each player, saved
from StudioDrawPlayer.
