Re: [hlcoders] Server query

[badger]

Some servers are responding on the S2A_INFO packets and some are not -
querying both with exactly the same program.

What else could be the problem ?

lol,

He asked how to change the username not the password...
If he meant the password then as root
type "passwd" on the command without the quotes.

[hlcoders] Using Dynamic Lights: AllocDLight vs AllocElight and hardware compatibility

[Imperio59]

Ok,
In the past few days people have been asking after seeing some of our
in-game videos about dynamic lights and their overuse. People were
worried that low-end or older machines would not be able to see the
lights, or that they would lag them.

I said that, being the good coder that I am, i would make an option to
disable dynamic lighting from my MOD itself, or make sure that it would
have alternatives for older machines.

But i am wondering now exactly how i can achieve this.

Making a convar that prevents creating any DLights in my code is a
simple thing to do, a matter of minutes really. But i was wondering
about the possibility of using ELights versus DLights, then i realised i
didn't really know what the difference was, and if one or the other
needed Dx9/Dx9 compatible cards to show up or not.

So my questions are:
What is the real difference between AllocDlight and AllocElight?
I remember trying both for muzzleflashing and that ELights didn't bounce
off walls, but I am not sure of that fact anymore.
What hardware is needed to run DLights and what hardware is needed to
run ELights?
Should i hard code in a convar to turn them off, or will the engine take
care of managing that for me already?
Will it affect performance if i call AllocDlight on a machine that can't
handle them, or will they just not be displayed?

Thanks
Imperio59

Re: [hlcoders] non HL question

[r00t 3:16]

If he is worried about someone cracking his password use a better password.

Changing the root login for "security" isn't doing much.
Most exploits, exploit the UID 0 and GID 0 so changing root to something
else will not.

Firewall the box using iptables, disable shell access except from trusted IP
addresses.
If you need people to have shell accounts. Disable root login via shell. Are
probably the better solutions..

Changing the root password will help only if someone is trying to crack the
password using brute force.
More times then not if they are trying to guess the root password the know
they system already and probably cat /etc/passwd so they know what the root
login
would of been changed to already. eg web server?


Take away the ability of them trying to even be able to login as root would
be a better solution.

The HPB bot can generate the SZ_GetSpace crash when displaying lots of
waypoints (if you are editing waypoints on the client).  The waypoint
display method sends a reliable network message for each waypoint line
drawn.  If enough of these reliable messages are sent in too short a
time period, the buffer overflows.

One of the Counter-Strike bot authors (I don't remember which one)
changed this to use an un-reliable message for displaying these lines
which helps prevent the overflow.  In the worst case, sometimes a
waypoint line wouldn't get drawn and then would appear the next time it
was updated.

The SZ_GetSpace crashing problem also occurred if some plugin attempts
to send a network message to a fake client (bot).  The HPB bot code
tries to prevent this, but there can still be cases of other pluggins
running (if you are using metamod, which it sounds like you are not)
that send a network message to "all players" that could cause this problem.

A2S_INFO doesn't have a challenged version.

If you want to use A2S_PLAYER or A2S_RULES, those packets require that
you first send A2S_SERVERQUERY_GETCHALLENGE to return a 4 byte challenge
value that you then must supply with the A2S_PLAYER or A2S_RULES packets.

If the only thing that you are using is A2S_INFO then the challenge
stuff is not what's causing your problem.

Are you using both challenged and non-challenged query protocol?...

If you are doing just one or the other, some servers might not respond.

Re: [hlcoders] Server query

[Erling K. Sæterdal]

Could it be that the server is changing map ? ( IE if you download a list of
servers from the steam master servers. And query them all, some of them are
bound to be changing map when you query them. Or have been shut down).

RE: [hlcoders] Use functions on an Entity

[Ian Warwick]

Regarding my last email, this is what I was refering to

http://articles.thewavelength.net/675/

Quite a cool article explaining how to do it, in hammer editor there is
also an entity that allows you to attach a VGUI screen to a brush
entity, complete with mouseover cursor, doom III style, rocks.

Subject: [hlcoders] Use functions on an Entity

I guess I must be in a very CS:S mood or something because I am
reffering to it in most of my questions now...

Anyway could anyone give me in lamens terms pointers on animating an
entity such as the planted bomb in CS:S, that not only Animates the
texture but also has a countdown.  I tried using the Use function and
writing a timer into it, but apparently the function doesnt work how I
thought it worked.  So even a brief description of the usage of the Use
function itself would help me out tremendously.

Thanks Guys

I think the countdown timer might be using VGUI, it looks like it to me.

Re: [hlcoders] Newbie question

[Andrew (British_Bomber)]

just a forward declaration of it in all of your cpp files?

class CBaseAwesomeClass;

I don't know if that will work but it's the only other thing I can think of

Transfer the declaration into a header file and then include that i
the main cpp?

[hlcoders] Newbie question

[r00t 3:16]

Ok I ran into this situation a few times and I kind of need some help on
figuring it out as it is driving me nuts...

If there is a class eg:
CBaseGrenadeConcussion / basegrenade_concussions.cpp
that you want to use but there is not a header file for that class how do
you get a pointer to the class?

Sorry been trying to figure it out.
