[hlcoders] Respawn Bug fix
I've seen this particular bug in a few mods now, thought I would send
out a snippet for you guys until it can be sent out in the next SDK
update.
The problem shows up as players not respawning properly, seeming to fail
the teleport call. What's actually happening is the lag compensation
manager is teleporting them to their previous location for a lag
compensation check, then failing to restore them. If you think you have
this problem in your mod, give this change a try.
dlls\Player_lagcompensation.cpp
~ line 351
Change the while loop to look like this:
// store our previous origin - to start with it is our current
location
Vector prevOrg = pPlayer-GetLocalOrigin();
// Walk context looking for any invalidating event
while( track-IsValidIndex(curr) )
{
// remember last record
prevRecord = record;
// get next record
record = track-Element( curr );
if ( !(record-m_fFlags LC_ALIVE) )
{
// player most be alive, lost track
return;
}
Vector delta = record-m_vecOrigin - prevOrg;
if ( delta.LengthSqr()
LAG_COMPENSATION_TELEPORTED_DISTANCE_SQR )
{
// lost track, too much difference
return;
}
// did we found a context smaller then target time ?
if ( record-m_flSimulationTime = flTargetTime )
break; // hurra, stop
// store this position for the next time through the
loop
prevOrg = record-m_vecOrigin;
// go one step back
curr = track-Next( curr );
}
This fixes the distance check not being applied to the first stored
position in the lag compensation history.

[hlcoders] spectator eye mode problem AddToFullPack (not related)
First question: Everything in EYE mode spectator seems to be working except the view angle is not updating. I think it just sits at 0,0,0. But I can see the weapon and weapon animations just fine and the camera tracks the players movement too. I believe the view angle along with the other eye mode stuff is dealt with client side because the client already receives those numbers (view angle, origin etc..) for all players within sight. I just don't know where this is dealt with in the hl2 sdk. I checked out hltvcamera.cpp but that doest seem to be it. Does any know where the client side spectator stuff is dealt with or if this is really a client side problem at all? Other than that, spectator mode seems to be working normal. Second question, what is the equivalent of AddToFullPack function for hl2? I have some entities in my mod that can only be seen by members of a certain team and more importantly not the others. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

Re: [hlcoders] spectator eye mode problem AddToFullPack (not related)
Ok thanks Mr. Boone! I also have been looking into the eye mode stuff looks like at least one problem is in c_baseplayer.cpp line 1171 eyeAngles = target-EyeAngles(); The call the EyeAngles always returns 0,0,0 because there is no MoveParent.. whatever that is inside const QAngle CBasePlayer::EyeAngles( ) in baseplayer_shared.cpp CBaseEntity *pMoveParent = const_castCBasePlayer*(this)-GetMoveParent(); is always NULL. so I'm gonna look into that next.

RE: [hlcoders] spectator eye mode problem AddToFullPack (not related)
Its ok that the player does not have a move parent. In that case it should fall back to pl.v_angle, which is most likely not networked for other clients to your local client. Dod:S and CS:S base player implement their own overriding EyeAngles function which returns a networked eye angles, m_angEyeAngles. I believe this is already set up and networked in c_sdk_player.cpp if you are using the sdk sample app as your base. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Heritage Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2005 7:28 PM To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlcoders] spectator eye mode problem AddToFullPack (not related) Ok thanks Mr. Boone!

Re: [hlcoders] spectator eye mode problem AddToFullPack (not related)
I am using the multiplayer sdk. It looks like m_angEyeAngles, like
v_angle is also zero
Here was my new code in EyeAngles(
if ( !pMoveParent )
{
#ifdef CLIENT_DLL
C_HL2MP_Player *pPlayer = dynamic_cast C_HL2MP_Player* ( this );
if(pPlayer-IsObserver()) // UNDONE: check for eye mode too
return pPlayer-GetAnimEyeAngles(); // clientside spectating
players
in eye mode (i.e. target's view angle)
else
return pl.v_angle; // client side non spectating players
#endif
return pl.v_angle; // server side only
}
when its the local client, obviously it works just fine.. but when its
the client's target, there are no values for the view angle. I looked
through the pPlayer pointer and saw most of the values were zero, I
did notice one interesting vector that was not zero m_vLookAtTarget,
but it has some very strange values over 360 degrees for some of the
components. I'm not sure what that vector is for or if its even
meaningful. I guess the next approach I need to take is to set up
m_angEyeAngles to be networked properly; however, I looked through he
code at it appears like it should be already networked.
Here is the stock code that was in c_hl2mp_player.cpp
IMPLEMENT_CLIENTCLASS_DT(C_HL2MP_Player, DT_HL2MP_Player, CHL2MP_Player)
RecvPropFloat( RECVINFO( m_angEyeAngles[0] ) ),
RecvPropFloat( RECVINFO( m_angEyeAngles[1] ) ),
.. further down
IMPLEMENT_SERVERCLASS_ST(CHL2MP_Player, DT_HL2MP_Player)
SendPropAngle( SENDINFO_VECTORELEM(m_angEyeAngles, 0), 11,
SPROP_CHANGES_OFTEN ),
SendPropAngle( SENDINFO_VECTORELEM(m_angEyeAngles, 1), 11,
SPROP_CHANGES_OFTEN ),
seems like its being sent and received, although I will admit I know
very little about this data send table functionality.
Maybe I'll take a look at c_sdk_player.cpp but I will have to
download another SDK.
Thanks for the help.

Re: [hlcoders] Third Party Mod crashes while starting a server
After a steam update, you have to run your mod thu steam at least
once, then you can go back to running it via batch file or debugger in
visual studio for example. For some reaon there are dll errors if you
don't. Just openup steam games menu and double click your game. All
should be well after that.

curr = track-Next( curr );
}
This fixes the distance check not being applied to the first stored
position in the lag compensation history.

I did, when you try to run it, it crashes (there).
I've tried merging that code (only from the files that those crashes are

Can anyone give me a list of changed files since the 28th of Febuary?
