[hlcoders] Create Server option in HL2DM SDK mod only works on LAN??
Hi, in a mod created with the HL2DM SDK, when you press create server, this only shows in LAN, never on Internet master server. But, if i put in console map , when i open the map the first time i start the mod it showed in Internet master server. Why Create server don't work like HL2DM, where you create a server and it showed always in inet??.

[hlcoders] RE: [hlds_apps] Server query protocol
This change will be released tomorrow (so you can begin testing your tool updates). The A2S_INFO query has been altered from the description below. Rather than challenge response for each server ( making querying large numbers of servers much slower) the query will simply have a string appended to it (Source Engine Query). So to get server info you would send: 0xFFF 'T' Source Engine Query '\0' - Alfred -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alfred Reynolds Sent: Tuesday, February 22, 2005 11:48 PM To: hlds_apps@list.valvesoftware.com Cc: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: RE: [hlds_apps] Server query protocol We will be releasing an update later this week or early next week with an updated query protocol. To enable this change to be deployed quickly we will be minimising the changes this time around. I will be writing a more detailed document describing the various valid Source server queries as a part of the SDK documentation, but in the mean time here is a brief description of the changes that will be made. A challenge value will now required for all query responses (A2S_INFO, A2S_PLAYER, A2S_RULES) except for A2S_PING. The challenge value is a 4 byte value. You can either explicitly request a challenge value via a new query A2S_SERVERQUERY_GETCHALLENGE (ascii W) or implicitly get a challenge value by sending a dummy challenge value of -1 (0x) to any query (that requires a challenge). The response to A2S_SERVERQUERY_GETCHALLENGE (and an implicit challenge) will be S2C_CHALLENGE (ascii 'A' ) followed by a 4 byte value that is the challenge value. The challenge value should be appended to the end of the existing query request packets. Queries that use strings to specify the query type (i.e. 0xplayers) will NO LONGER be supported. You MUST update to the new A2S_* style queries. The byte values for each request type is: #define A2S_INFO'T' // server info request - this must match the Goldsrc engine #define A2S_PLAYER 'U' // request player list #define A2S_RULES 'V' // request rules list from server #define A2S_SERVERQUERY_GETCHALLENGE'W' // Request challenge # from another machine These values are supported by the currently shipped Source engine if you want to start on your changes now. A challenge value is valid for 60 minutes or until the server flushes your challenge from its LRU cache (which can handle 16K elements), so you should attempt to cache a challenge value rather than continually requesting it. A challenge value is not required when querying servers within the same B class address range as the server (i.e LAN style requests), you should specify a challenge value of -1 (0x) in these cases. Note that you can still use a valid challenge value in these cases, its value will be ignored however. The initial rollout will support both old and new style queries (i.e with and without challenges). We expect to disable the old protocol within a couple WEEKS of the initial rollout. The cvar sv_enableoldqueries will control the servers ability to answer old style requests (when it is set to 1 it will reply to old style queries). To aid in development and testing you can disable ignoring challenges from local B class clients by setting the cvar sv_allowlocalquery to 0 (i.e if sv_allowlocalquery is 0 then any query will follow the rules set by the sv_enableoldqueries cvar). This change will also be applied to HL1 based game servers once the Source rollout is complete. - Alfred On Mon, 21 Feb 2005, Alfred Reynolds wrote: We will be revising the Source server query format in the near future to remove some architectural problems with it. All the existing queries apart from PING will be altered by this change (i.e will require your tools to be updated). There will be a period where both systems coincide but we want to be aggressive in removing support for the old protocol. This change may be ported to the HL1 engine also. We have been assessing various protocols (both from other vendors and from the public), this is your chance to request features or suggest other standards to consider. The current plan is to make the minimal set of changes to remove the problems we found (making it easier for tools to update) but as we are breaking the protocol we are open to larger changes.

[hlcoders] Trying to display MOTD message
I'll explain my situation. I've just begun modding HL1, I own a copy of VC++.NET but can't install it due to space requirements, so I'm using Dev-C++/MinGW. I am working off of botman's modified SDK 2.2 source, which for one thing means that there's no VGUI included. By following tutorials I've implemented a team selection menu which works great. I have had less success with trying to get the MOTD to show up, though. Here's the problem, I've added the CHudMOTD class back in, done a DECLARE_MESSAGE(), hooked the message, copied the drawing and message function from the earlier SDK, all of that. I have also got the message sending code in the game dll working, I have console prints telling me that the MOTD is sent just fine. But the MsgFunc_MOTD() function is never reached, and neither is the Draw() function. I'm at my wits end because I've gone over every messaging tutorial I can find, looked through the source, and everything looks correct. Any suggestions for me? I've tried not having the team menu show up on spawning, but that doesn't make any difference either.

Does your CHudMOTD::Init() function get called?
You probably have m_MOTD as the CHud member variable for your MOTD
window, so in CHud::Init() you should have...
m_MOTD.Init();
...in the same general area as all the other .Init()'s. I assume you
are hooking your message in CHudMOTD::Init()...
DECLARE_MESSAGE(m_MOTD, MOTD)
int CHudMOTD::Init(void)
{
HOOK_MESSAGE(MOTD);
return 1;
}
...and make SURE that you've registered the message on the server side...
gmsgMOTD = REG_USER_MSG( MOTD, -1);
...and check that REG_USER_MSG returned a valid positive integer for
gmsgMOTD and not 0. Also, IIRC, the network messages are
case-sensitive, so make sure you don't have motd on the client (in the
DECLARE_MESSAGE() and MOTD on the server (in the REG_USER_MSG), or
vice-versa.

[hlcoders] unloading plugins, playerinfomanager and cvars
Hi,
I'm having some problems on my serverplugin and i need some help.
here are the issues:
1. When i unload my plugin via plugin_unload, it's CON_COMMANDS and
cvar are still in place. Is there something I should do in MyPlugin::Unload()
to unregister the concommands/cvars? (also the plugin might be still running,
i didn't check that)
2. The code below is from the function that is called on plugin load, to
populate a struct array serverPlayers[] with the currently
connected player information. It is called in the constructor so
you can unload/load a new version while the map is running and
players connected. But it's crashing, take a look:
(..snip..)
for(int i=0;i65;i++)
{
edict_t *pEntity = engine-PEntityOfEntIndex(i);
if (!pEntity || pEntity-IsFree()) continue;
IPlayerInfo *playerinfo=playerinfomanager-GetPlayerInfo(pEntity);
if (!playerinfo) continue;
//crashes right here!
if (!playerinfo-IsConnected()) continue;
// insert code that fills serverPlayers[i] 's members with player's
info
}
(..snip..)
I'm not a big fan of saving playerList/maxClients that are passed to
serverActivate, because it won't be called if the plugin is loaded after
the server initialization. My plugin needs to be loadable/unloadable
any time (so I can develop without disturbing the server crowd)
3. The code seems to crash if i register more than one CVAR, but i'm
still investigating that. Code is like this:
static ConVar myp_cvar1(myp_cvar1, , FCVAR_PLUGIN | FCVAR_PROTECTED, first
cvar);
static ConVar myp_cvar2(myp_cvar2, 1, FCVAR_PLUGIN | FCVAR_PROTECTED, second
cvar); //crash here!
Any suggestions?
I'm developing this plugin on Linux. (it took some effort to get it to
compile already :p )
It's currently in testing on two of my servers without these three features
and it's running
without any problems for a few days now.
Thanks,

[hlcoders] HL2MP SDK Crash (and fix)
I've been running my DM mod, and I noticed that periodically the
clients would crash but the server would remain up. I happened to
catch one in the debugger, and it looks like this is problem is in
CreateRagdoll in ragdoll.cpp:
CRagdoll *CreateRagdoll(
C_BaseEntity *ent,
studiohdr_t *pstudiohdr,
const Vector forceVector,
int forceBone,
const CBoneAccessor pPrevBones,
const CBoneAccessor pBoneToWorld,
const CBoneAccessor pDesiredBonePosition,
float dt )
{
CRagdoll *pRagdoll = new CRagdoll;
pRagdoll-Init( ent, pstudiohdr, forceVector, forceBone, pPrevBones,
pBoneToWorld, dt );
if ( !pRagdoll-IsValid() )
{
Msg(Bad ragdoll for %s\n, pstudiohdr-name );
delete pRagdoll;
pRagdoll = NULL;
}
pRagdoll-SetInitialBonePosition( pstudiohdr, pDesiredBonePosition );
return pRagdoll;
}
I'm not sure under what circumstances the ragdoll is not valid, but
apparently this was happening periodically. So when the ragdoll was
not valid, it would delete that pointer and then immediately call
SetInitialBonePosition on it. Nice.
I changed the if block to:
if ( !pRagdoll-IsValid() )
{
Msg(Bad ragdoll for %s\n, pstudiohdr-name );
delete pRagdoll;
pRagdoll = NULL;
return pRagdoll;
}
and haven't seen this crash since.

[hlcoders] Help with HL1 SPR file format

[hlcoders] Question about Precaching in Source.
Back in the good ole days of HL1, when you precached a file from the server, this file was automatically added to some sort of list that when a client connects, and he does not have the precached file, the server would send it to him, or have him download it from the sv_downloadurl. Automatically. Now, in Source, if we want to add a sound, or a model, using a server side mod, we have to go make res files for each different map in order for the resources to be sent to the client. If the server has a lot of maps, and we decide to add, say, a sound file that players hear when someone says doh!, now we have to go to every res file and add the sound file. Rather annoying. What was wrong with precached files automatically being sent to the client when the server precaches a resource? Why isn't it like this in Source? If the server precaches a file, chances are the client is going to need it, right? - voogru. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

I haven't looked at it in HL2, but I would imagine it's the min/max of the hull (box) you want to trace. For example, hullMin=(-2,-2,-2), hullMax=(2,2,2) would trace with a box of size (4,4,4).

Cs and dod both destroy the entities and re-create them from scratch on round restart.

Re: [hlcoders] Resetting entites on round restart.
Do you use mapentites.h? The way I figured was go through every entity at RoundRestart(); and delete them apart from players, lights etc. But at the moment i'm just figuring out how to-do it. This is how im looking at it at the moment, Add every entity to a list then filtering out which ones to delete. Is there some way to tell if something should not get deleted or do we have to manually filter ourselves?

I did
if ( pOwner-GetTeamNumber() == TEAM_COMBINE )
{
UTIL_TraceLine( start, end, MASK_SHOT, pOwner,
COLLISION_GROUP_BLUE_WEAPONS, tr );
}
else
{
UTIL_TraceLine( start, end, MASK_SHOT, pOwner,
COLLISION_GROUP_RED_WEAPONS, tr );
}
for weapon_freeze, and ShouldCollide has
if ( collisionGroup0 == COLLISION_GROUP_RED_FORT || collisionGroup0
== COLLISION_GROUP_BLUE_FORT )
{
if ( collisionGroup0 == COLLISION_GROUP_RED_FORT
collisionGroup1 == COLLISION_GROUP_BLUE_WEAPONS )
return true;
if ( collisionGroup0 == COLLISION_GROUP_BLUE_FORT
collisionGroup1 == COLLISION_GROUP_RED_WEAPONS )
return true;
return false;
}
But this doesn't work, it still hits it.
Put func_fortsite in a special collision group and set up a relationship
in gamerules::ShouldCollide() that makes it collide with specific other
collision groups:
func_fortsite is either COLLISION_GROUP_FORTSITE_TEAM1 or
COLLISION_GROUP_FORTSITE_TEAM2.
player weapons are either COLLISION_GROUP_TEAM1_WEAPON or
COLLISION_GROUP_TEAM2_WEAPON.
Then ShouldCollide() can do:
if ( collisionGroup0 == COLLISION_GROUP_FORTSITE_TEAM1 ||
collisionGroup0 == COLLISION_GROUP_FORTSITE_TEAM2 )
{
if ( collisionGroup0 == COLLISION_GROUP_FORTSITE_TEAM1
collisionGroup1 == COLLISION_GROUP_TEAM2_WEAPON )
return true;
if ( collisionGroup0 == COLLISION_GROUP_FORTSITE_TEAM2
collisionGroup1 == COLLISION_GROUP_TEAM1_WEAPON )
return true;
return false;
}
If you need to control specific weapons, then only put those specific
weapons' tracelines into the collision group. Note that the weapon
group isn't on the entity, but passed in to the UTIL_TraceLine() call.
The fortsite group goes on the entity.

Subject: [hlcoders] Getting a trace to hit off a non solid entity
Hi all.
I've made a new brush entity called func_fortsite, when a
player from the other team of who's fort site this is tries
to fire a weapon
(weapon_freezer) while in this brush, it should stop.
Right now, I have it using flags and it works all well while
the Solid Type is SOLID_BSP, but I want it so that you can
still move objects/players in this When it's at SOLID_NONE,
the trace doesn't hit it, so it doesn't work.
Does anyone know what I could do, or if there's another way I
could do it?
Thanks.

[hlcoders] Create Server option in HL2DM SDK mod only works on LAN??
This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] sv_lan 0 dont works. Always showed in LAN games. Do I need a .cfg or something else like serverconfig.cfg ?¿? sv_lan 0 Hi, in a mod created with the HL2DM SDK, when you press create server, this only shows in LAN, never on Internet master server. But, if i put in console map , when i open the map the first time i start the mod it showed in Internet master server. Why Create server don't work like HL2DM, where you create a server and it showed always in inet??.

RE: [hlcoders] Getting a trace to hit off a non solid entity
One other detail: ShouldCollide() sorts the collision groups, so in
order for that code to work exactly as written, the enum for
COLLISION_GROUP_*_FORT must be less than the enum for
COLLISION_GROUP_*_WEAPONS

Yesterday I got the GMan player model from HLDM to work in source, but theres a problem. In the bare bones SDK he plays no anims and when he dies the ragdoll code chucks a tantrum.

But this doesn't work, it still hits it.
