Re: [hlcoders] Getting a FULLBRIGHT picture of the scene into my Frame Buffer
--
[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ]
First, I think that you should give an alpha value less than 1 to each quad
and enable alpha blending. If you dont do it, the material will be
completely opaque and won´t add to the layer below.
Second, I will use a shader (in fact, I achieve this effect with one :) ). I
convert the entire imge to grayscale (dot product of the pixel color with
the eye sensitivity to each color component), multiply each color component
by an amplification factor (try until you find a value that looks good), and
multiply now only the green component by another factor (doubling it should
be ok). This can be improved adding a noise texture and applying some
blurring. I think that this should be done with a second pass.

Ok,
The title may sound corny, but this is what i have so far (thanks root
for giving me msot of this code ;) ).
I'm trying to copy CSS's Nightvision, except i'm trying to make it light
DARK spots as well as brigthen existing lit-up spots.
Here's what i have so far, it brightens the scene but not enough for me:
This is in CViewRender::RenderView.
//Imperio59 NVG
if ( C_BasePlayer::GetLocalPlayer()
C_BasePlayer::GetLocalPlayer()-m_bNVG )
{
IMaterial *pMaterial = materials-FindMaterial(
effects/nightvision, TEXTURE_GROUP_CLIENT_EFFECTS, true );
if ( pMaterial )
{
// This copies the contents of the framebuffer (drawn
during RenderView) into our nightvision texture.
UpdateScreenEffectTexture( 0 );//_rt_FrameBufferFB
materials-MatrixMode( MATERIAL_PROJECTION );
materials-PushMatrix();
materials-LoadIdentity();
materials-MatrixMode( MATERIAL_VIEW );
materials-PushMatrix();
materials-LoadIdentity();
materials-MatrixMode( MATERIAL_MODEL );
materials-LoadIdentity();
materials-DrawScreenSpaceQuad( pMaterial );
materials-DrawScreenSpaceQuad( pMaterial );
//Draw twice + a third time modulated.
pMaterial-AlphaModulate(cl_nvg_brightness.GetFloat());
materials-DrawScreenSpaceQuad( pMaterial );
materials-MatrixMode( MATERIAL_PROJECTION );
materials-PopMatrix();
materials-MatrixMode( MATERIAL_VIEW );
materials-PopMatrix();
}
}
//END NVG
Except drawing twice + modulated doesn't make it brighter than drawing
ONCE! I think this is because of me just slapping a quad with the
texture on top of the scene, no matter how many times i do it it's still
the same texture. Right.
So what i wanted to do was get a fullbright image (i want to get an
image of what you see when mat_fullbright is 1) and slap that onto my
screen, alpha'ed of course, and with my green screenfade (to make it
look NVG-ish ;) )
I haven't been able to figure this out yet, i've tried calling
UpdateScreenEffectTexture( 0 ); before the call to RenderLights, at the
beginning of the frame, lots of places, with various unwanted results.
Can someone from valve explain to me where i need to stick this call so
i get my fullbright image, or somehow manage to unload the lightmaps
from all textures, get the image of the scene, then reload the lightmaps
(sounds like it's going to drag performance down).
I also thought of using a post-processing shader, but most cards don't
support them (am I wrong?) and you would need to turn on Shaders in the
options to have a working NVG, wich is not what i want.
Am i stuck with what i have now ( a semi-bright NVG wich brightens lit
up spots but not dark spots) or is there a way to do this right?

Hello Valve, I was hoping you could take a look at a forum thread that I have created that outlines some of the things that are missing from server plugins that prevents us bot authors from creating a plugin based bot.

[hlcoders] VGUI graphics primitives (DrawLine) on a 3d space vgui_screen?
I've been doing conventional HUD type displays, and have been using the DrawLine graphics primitive to draw various graphics items on them just fine. Now I want to take one of those displays and have sitting in 3d game space via the vgui_screen entity. It works up to a point, with my text elements showing up etc. however it has problems when I try and draw lines with DrawLine. Normally I would do... vgui::surface()-DrawLine (x1, y1, x2, y2); to draw a line from point [x1,y1] to [x2,y2] in the VGUI object's coordinate space. Works great when it's on the HUD. But when it's in 3d space, it still draws the lines on the HUD and does not draw them in the 3d rendered version of the VGUI screen. I've searched through the SDK source but so far haven't found any place where this is actually done in the game, so I don't know if it's even possible. I suppose what I need is the equivalent of vgui::surface() which gives me the drawing surface for the 3d rendered VGUI screen. Alternately, I wondered if I could draw the lines on an off-screen image buffer, then just put the image onto the VGUI panel once it's drawn. That or use the temporary entity line to draw 3d lines in front of my VGUI screen. The screen won't move at all (fixed orientation) so getting the transforms right won't be that big of a deal.

RE: [hlcoders] VGUI graphics primitives (DrawLine) on a 3d space vgui_screen?
I would write your own mathed using the material system using CMeshBuilder with MATERIAL_LINES as the primitive type. The cl_dll code has some examples of using a meshbuilder instead of surface() to do drawing. You'll need to hook in at the correct part of rendering to make sure the projection matrix is not set up for ortho/2d drawing, etc. You might also look at CDebugOverlay::AddLineOverlay which might already do what you want.

[hlcoders] DrawSetTextureRGBA
Hi, I can't get DrawSetTextureRGBA to work. At first it draws some weapons from the weapons ttf, and later it paints all kinds of crosshairs. The 'solutions' in the mailing list (see March 2005) don't work. I use the following code: http://deathz0rz.homeunix.net/svgimage/vgui_svgpanel.cpp (see the directory for headers and libs) DrawSetTextureFile works fine, and my renderer also works fine, because I tried writing the buffer to a file. I have to use DrawSetTextureRGBA because AFAIK there is no other way of drawing raw RGBA data. Can you please test your modifications/suggestions before you send them to the list? When I previously debated this on hlcoders, I used the exact code suggested but it still wouldn't work. I know I have to callD rawSetTextureRGBA every time before I start drawing. Also, I have no idea what hardwareFilter and forceReload are supposed to do.

Re: [hlcoders] Bots Server Plugins Attn: Valve
Thanks for the info. I realize I could do most of this in the SDK with
minimal effort, but I'd like to be able to do it in a server plugin
for mod independance, if that's not possible theres little point in
having the half-assed bot functionality in there to begin with.
I understand not giving the plugin access to CBaseEntity or global
entity list, but IBotController and/or IPlayerInfo provide methods of
getting viewangles, position, angles, so it seems logical that there
should be an accessor for velocity in there as well.
And it's very bad that IBotController::SetActiveWeapon creates a new
weapon every time it's called. Seems like the main things missing from
full bot support would be relatively trivial to add to the SDK classes
so that mods get them for free, and therefor allow server plugin bots
to be made without hacking.
1) IPlayerInfo::GetAbsVelocity()
2) Add IPlayerInfo::HasWeapon(const char *), and fix SetActiveWeapon
so that it switches to the requested weapon only if the bot has it in
their inventory. Alternatively, give some read-only access to the bots
weapon list to get the proper numbers suitable to pass as the
CBotCmd.weaponselect.
3) Add IPlayerInfo::HasItem(const char *), return true/false if player
has a specific non-weapon item. Mods could extend this to support
their specific functionality
4) Also preferably some access to arbitrary entity info, similar to
IPlayerInfo, like IEntityInfo, so I could get
position/orientation/velocity of props, projectiles,...
5) Perhaps Ammo access could be handled through an event. Something like
Event player_addweapon
{
userid (TYPE_SHORT)
weapon (TYPE_BYTE)
clipamountleft (TYPE_SHORT)
}
Maybe this could fire when a weapon is picked up to give a snap shot
of the current state of the weapons ammo, and maybe the Event
player_shoot event could have aclipamountleft (TYPE_SHORT)
added to it. Just some ideas.
1-3 and 5 would probably take valve 10-20 minutes to implement and
roll it out in the next sdk update. #4 is a bit more complex, and I
have doubts on whether they would even consider providing such access.
A bot could maybe make do without #4, at the expense of being
vulnerable to players blocking them with props, not being able to
dodge projectiles, not being able to 'see' the wall mounted
armor/health dispensers or any other non player entity.,...
I'm hoping to get valves attention and hopefully get these last
remaining accessors. They were kind enough to do a v2 of the
IPlayerInfo to give us more than what we had originally, but we're
still missing these last few things.
Pretty please ? :)

No, it won't. I can try to answer your questions though, in the ways
you probably won't like :p
1) You can try to do this in a hacky way that relies on the base SDK.
For example, CBaseCombatCharacter defines m_hMyWeapons in its data
table, so you can probably extract it by enumerating the datamap or
sendtables.
2,3) Again, velocity is defined in the datamap of CBaseEntity.
4) Valve won't do this, I guarantee it.
6) Not needed, CGameTrace/trace_t has m_pEnt which you can convert to an
edict_t. It's defined in the Engine like that for niceness -- the
Engine can't see CBaseEntities like the gamedll.
7) The reason: Valve doesn't want you changing them. That would be
hacking, cheating, heresy, and terrorism. -- add something else in for
extra credit
8) Possibly same rule for #1-3, but in the way I've done it in my
plugins, I used much hackier ways that aren't mod independent at all.
9) SetModel() is a virtual function in CBaseEntity. If you're pretty
sure the mod doesn't change the virtual order of CBaseEntity, you can
just try calling it. Otherwise, you must get creative.
If you're doing this for HL2DM, you have the source code, so you can do
just about anything you want. For other mods, you must be prepared to
write very ugly things.
Hope this helps,

[hlcoders] Exposing Custom Interfaces.
So I'm trying to make a custom interface that should be available to
server plugins. I've made a pure virtual interface class
#define INTERFACEVERSION_ENTITYINFOMANAGER EntityInfoManager001
class IEntityInfoManager
{
public:
virtual IEntityInfo *GetEntityInfo( edict_t *pEdict ) = 0;
};
and implementing it in another class
class CEntityInfoManager : public IEntityInfoManager
{
public:
virtual IEntityInfo *GetEntityInfo( edict_t *pEdict );
};
and in the cpp for the implementation
static CEntityInfoManager s_EntityInfoManager;
EXPOSE_SINGLE_INTERFACE_GLOBALVAR(CEntityInfoManager,
IEntityInfoManager, INTERFACEVERSION_ENTITYINFOMANAGER,
s_EntityInfoManager);
Best I can tell this is all that the existing interfaces do.
Everything compiles fine, I copy the compiled server.dll over to the
bin folder
E:\games\steam\SteamApps\myemail\source dedicated server\hl2mp\bin
also tried
E:\games\steam\SteamApps\myemail\half-life 2 deathmatch\hl2mp\bin
Then add the following to my server plugin, to load it like any other interface
IEntityInfoManager*g_pEntityInfoManager = (IEntityInfoManager
*)gameServerFactory(INTERFACEVERSION_ENTITYINFOMANAGER, NULL);
But it doesn't work. Did I miss a step somewhere in here to getting my
custom interface exposed to be used in server plugins?
Thanks in advance.
