Re: [hlcoders] Help debugging half-life 1 mod
Kuja wrote: Hey, all. Normally I wouldn't bother the list with this question, but I've exhausted every other resource in trying to figure out my problem. I am completely and totally unable to debug my mod in steam half-life, or even won half-life. I am unable to do it when attaching, when launched from the ide, or even using a different debugger (debuggy). I always get the same call stack: a bunch of ntdll.dll and kernel32.dll (sometimes winmm.dll, dsound.dll etc). It loads my module, and it finds the debug symbols. It just sticks me in ntdll, which is absolutely useless. Am I doing something wrong? This is .net 2k3 on XP SP2. How far does it get before crashing? If it's crashing during startup, place breakpoints at various startup functions (like ServerActivate, ClientConnect, ClientPutInServer, etc.) to determine which functions are working and which aren't. If it's happening during gameplay, begin by commenting out huge chunks of code that you've added until it stops crashing, then gradually re-enable stuff until you narrow down what's causing the problem. -- Jeffrey botman Broome ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
[hlcoders] Little problem due to EntSelectSpawnPoint()
Hello everybody I managed to make Level Transitions work in multiplayer games thanks to an very SIMPLE method. Though I can make the server give every player their previous equipment, I don't manage to make them get their previous position. Actually, at the moment when we change of level, the players spawn at the info_player_deathmatch spawnpoints with their previous equipment. I could to make the Server-Player keep his previous positions by comenting out the line g_pGameRules-GetPlayerSpawnSpot( this ); in the CBasePlayer::Spawn() function. Anyway, this method drive the server to CRASH to WindowsXP when there are other clients on the server. This only happens after the Level Transition process... Why? And how could I make the server force a player who had a previous instance of hilmself to spawn at the previous position? Please, I really really really need for help, I have tried with lots of methods... none of them worked. I hope somebody at Valve will care of my S.O.S :-) Best regards folks! --Thomas TISSOT-DUPONT ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

RE: [hlcoders] Source SDK - Creating Map Entities - missing function?
Alfred, Thanks for the fast reply. Damn-it! I was hoping I could use this from a server plug-in to make map entities in their proper classes from entity strings. The API's in class IVEngineServer only know about raw edicts, and whilst there are utility functions to get a CBaseEntity pointer from an edict pointer, that doesn't help us at all with what I asked. Surely the engine DLL's maploader must have a similar function to the discontinued one? Could we please have that one added to one of the Engine Interfaces next SDK Update? Or is there some other way to do this from a plug-in with existing Valve-supported API's ?

I am not quite sure why this happens or how to correct it really. I would imagine it is something simple ? I am working on my mods intermission screen. at 640x480 the screen looks nice. When I change the resolution to 1024x768 everything is big. 640x480 http://www.totalretribution.com/r00t316/IF_r00t.JPG -- looks good 1024x768 http://www.totalretribution.com/r00t316/if2.JPG -- why so big looking...

RE: [hlcoders] Source SDK - Creating Map Entities - missing function?
Purely from a players point of view, the rape that some server side plugins do to players is the worst sin of all. As soon as I see any server side plugins active on a server, I leave. I don't want annoying sounds downloaded to me, menus, screen displays, or key rebindings etc. On the other hand of course we have to ask, So Alfred! What's the alternative then? Is there a particular reason this feature was removed, or is there a new alternative in the works?

On the other hand of course we have to ask, So Alfred! What's the alternative then? Is there a particular reason this feature was removed, or is there a new alternative in the works? I suspect the alternative will consist of a grassroots standardization effort by mod-makers to put out an unofficial API for server mods.

Re: [hlcoders] VGUI
Not sure if there is an easier way. The screen I made was mostly just a res file which had the sizes / positions etc etc. Not very much code was involved really But I am seeing now that if you want things to stay the same size you have to code them so it does not make things larger like it does with the other screens. EG: hard code the sizes SetSize() etc. Then reposition everything on different resolutions. (Hope that made sense kind of tired lol ) So I am getting what I need. Half way there just need to setup something to reposition the display when resolution changes.
