[hlcoders] Player Rendering effects
I am currently trying to implement a way of making a specific class in my mod become more and more translucent the less they move, and if they stop completely for a period of time they become completely invisible. I have the majority of this working, it's simple enough, but I am having an issue with creating a translucent player. The final effect which is a complete no draw is in, and so is the starting point, solid. It's the middle, transitional period I have had the problems with. If you have seen the E3 demo where the translucent character is standing in the flame you will get an idea of what I am trying to acheive. Unfortunatly I havent been able to figure out exactly how to get them to appear like that. I have tried changing the player's keyvalue renderamt, and also the players rendermode. Is this the right way to go about it or do I have to change the player's material dynamically somehow?

Re: [hlcoders] Making timers
Or you can always use the CountDownTimer class in the util_shared.h...
CountDownTimer roundTimer;
roundTimer.Start(mp_roundlimit.GetFloat() * 60);
if (roundTimer.isElapsed())
{
}
roundTimer.Reset()...
and so on.. Just look the CountDownTimer class.

that shows you how to make a round timer and display it on the HUD.
basically all you do is put a timer in either your game rules(for a
global timer) or your player(for a timer for each player) by checking
a start time against gpGlobals-curtime and getting a hud element to
display it, or in your case call something to trigger a build event
and restart. the tute decribes it better :(

After the Steam update, with no changes at all to the mod, the mod no longer shows up in the dropdown of available games in the Dedicated Server program and if I try to start it manually via the command line then it doesn't work. I tried testing this by using the updated SDK to create a new DM mod.

RE: [hlcoders] IGameEventManager/IGameEventListener
I will forward on the request for some kind of iterator in IGameEvent, seems a reasonable thing.

But is there any chance that IGameEvent will be expanded to allow the things I stated previously with getting an event param type or iterating through all the arguments/params of a particular event? Using KeyValues in the older system allowed me to do such things and I'd really like to have such functionality, more specifically for logging every event that occurs along with every param/argument name and its value. As an example, when the player_team event occurs, I would log data such as this without actually having to know what each param name was: Event - player_team Arg 1: userid 2 Arg 2: team 2 Arg 3: oldteam 0 Arg 4: disconnect 0 On Sat, 19 Feb 2005 17:43:36 -0800, Alfred Reynolds [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The old event system had way too much overhead when we start adding more verbose events (such as firing one each time a footstep is triggered, something that bots use).

One guess that I have, is that KeyValues has more methods than is really needed for game events. KeyValues has extra things for getting and setting pointer and color data types. Events only use Bool, Int, Float, and String data types so those extra methods are not needed for events. And I would guess that is why IGameEvent is used instead now. However, by using IGameEvent, a little power is lost as a result. With KeyValues I was able to determine the data type of a particular param/argument and also iterate through the list of params/arguments for an event that had occurred. This kind of thing was very useful for creating a logging system to print data about every event that occurs without having to explicitly get the value of a key. I did not have to actually know the names of all the event params in order to do this. I have noticed that I am currently still able to use the older IGameEventListener to do what I want, however the comments in igamevents.h state it should not be used and is for legacy support. Is there a particular reason that I should not use the older one? And is there any chance for IGameEvent to be expanded to allow for iteration of the event's params/arguments because I would like to use the newer interface, but it doesn't provide everything I need at the moment. ___ 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 ___ 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] Player Rendering effects
I've got a similar system going in my mod, except we use a material with the refract shader - a possibility would be to use the playerspeed material proxy to affect the refraction level, though that wouldn't allow a way of getting the model back into full visibility again (something I want to look into for a player death). However, be warned, the refract shader requires a number of fallbacks (it looks different between dx 8 and 9, doesn't work at all on dx8 low shaders or dx6/7). One of my artists is currently trying to figure out a way of getting dx8 on low shaders to at least fall back to dx6, rather than displaying a pure white material!

[hlcoders] Bizzare/Random/Frightening crash
Please bare with me while I try to explain this crash, let me begin by saying I'm using the very first mp sdk source with no updates... and debug build is not helping at all. Perhaps the most frightening aspect of this crash is its consistancy between game launches, and its inconsistancy between builds, its almost as if my compiler is messed up. Basically I'm encountering a crash in the client dll. When I create a server, disconnect, and then recreate. the debug build gives me an error in void CBaseViewport::RemoveAllPanels(void) (vgui_teamfortressviewport.cpp line 413) this is the callstack.. client.dll!CBaseViewport::RemoveAllPanels() Line 413 + 0xf C++ client.dll!CBaseViewport::~CBaseViewport() Line 432C++ client.dll!SDKViewport::~SDKViewport() + 0x14 C++ client.dll!SDKViewport::`scalar deleting destructor'() + 0x14 C++ client.dll!ClientModeShared::~ClientModeShared() Line 107 + 0x22 C++ client.dll!ClientModeSDKNormal::~ClientModeSDKNormal() Line 92 + 0x8 C++ client.dll!$E11() + 0x13 C++ client.dll!doexit(int code=0, int quick=0, int retcaller=1) Line 376 C client.dll!_cexit() Line 318 + 0xb C client.dll!_CRT_INIT(void * hDllHandle=0x2400, unsigned long dwReason=0, void * lpreserved=0x0001) Line 193 C client.dll!_DllMainCRTStartup(void * hDllHandle=0x2400, unsigned long dwReason=0, void * lpreserved=0x0001) Line 312 + 0x11 C The kicker is the call stack indicates the call to this method is happening after a call to doExit() which is totally unrelated to anything i've been doing - if thats not enough for you, it gets a whole lot worse. I ported one single npc over nothing more, and magically the crash was fixed. Now I can create/shutdown servers as many times as I want without crashing It gets worse. Now when creating an npc I experience the exact same crash. then maybe 30 rebuilds later.. the crash is magically gone, without even going near npc or combat character code of anykind... another few builds later, the crash reappears. (totally random) Keep in mind the crashing is _consistant_ in a build, as in once the crash is present no matter how many times i launch the game I'll have the exact same behaviour, magically sometimes if I do a rebuild without changing any code, the crash vanishes. I checked this to make sure it wasn't something like accessing an invalid pointer. I wasn't even going to post about it here but I thought I'd give it a shot. This must be something compiler related (mvsc++7.0) OR for some messed up reason I couldn't understand the debugger is showing me the same (old and unrelated) callstack, however I don't see how this could be the case as the debugger shows the proper information if I crash a different way.

hmm .. not that I know much but, sometimes builds get messed up for some reasons (I don't think it's a bug in the compiler itself .. but what do I know) but you can fix this kind of stuff by rebuilding a clean build.

Re: [hlcoders] Bizzare/Random/Frightening crash
This really sounds like a build system problem. The rebuild without changing code fix is what gives it away. Make clean and make.

Re: [hlcoders] Server Plugins refusing to load
On linux, you can try to use something like strace (you may have to log the output) to catch where calls are messing up. But in the end, it would be very helpful if Valve included some sort of dlerror()/FormatMessage() output when a plugin fails to load. -David BAILOPAN Anderson http://www.sourcemod.net/ Daniel Jennings wrote: Is there any way to tell why my Server Plugins (on Linux dedicated server) are refusing to load?

Re: [hlcoders] Debugging HL2DM Sdk
Noone has a clue about this?
I can not for the life of me do anything with the HL2DM sdk?
I tried the MP SDK and everything works as it should.
Not sure what the deal is...
Also in the solution explorer it shows CounterStrike DLL TF2 DLL and these
were never there before. They have some files under those but the system can
not find the path error when I try to open one of the files.
Maybe I got a screwed up download?

Also while doing more testing...
void CHL2MPRules::Think( void )
{
DevMsg(2,%s\n, ShouldRestartRound() );
}
That does not Give me anything when I launch the game, with developer 2
set
in the console.
That should scoll in the console and does not.
So why does it seem changes can not be made to the hl2dm_ files ?

Anyone try to debug this ?
It will not allow me to go into the hl properties to add the debug
options.
Client or Server projects.
Box comes up and says unspecified error
Any ideas what might cause this?
