[hlcoders] Server not getting listed
Hi, We've encountered a problem with our TF2 server ( steam://connect/89.106.241.45:27115 89.106.241.45:27115) not getting listed on the master server list. No firewall and a pretty standard TF2 install with SourceMod. Our CS1.6 and CSS running on the same machine are listed without problems. So far we have used some beta command parameter using beta master listing code, added a heartbeat config parameter and changed sv_lan 0 to sv_lan 0 (without the ) Any ideas? tnx ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
Re: [hlcoders] Server not getting listed
you could try a map change, then check again but likely you have other problems. also be sure to check the custom tab list as well ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
Re: [hlcoders] grenade code
updating this
found where I could probably do what I wanna do, but inexperienced as I
am and without examples I have no idea how to do it
let's take a look
if( m_fDrawbackFinished )
{
CBasePlayer *pOwner = ToBasePlayer( GetOwner() );
if (pOwner)
{
switch( m_AttackPaused )
{
case GRENADE_PAUSED_PRIMARY:
if( !(pOwner-m_nButtons IN_ATTACK) )
{
SendWeaponAnim( ACT_VM_THROW );
m_fDrawbackFinished = false;
}
break;
case GRENADE_PAUSED_SECONDARY:
if( !(pOwner-m_nButtons IN_ATTACK2) )
{
SendWeaponAnim( ACT_VM_THROW );
m_fDrawbackFinished = false;
}
break;
default:
break;
}
}
}
now at both grenade paused primary and secondary the same animation is
used and its just the same attack, there's no alternate attack so I just
made it the same rather then pushing the secondary button and nothing
happens.
I think code I would need to add would probably be specifically placed
in here:
{
SendWeaponAnim( ACT_VM_THROW );
m_fDrawbackFinished = false;
}
but don't know what exactly, basically just something that PREVENTS
throwing the grenade while the animation is playing, so throwing
disabled until the actual ready throw animation is done(I think its
ACT_VM_PULLBACK_HIGH which is placed in the functions PrimaryAttack and
SecondaryAttack)
once the animation is done it can still be held paused for as long as
the player wants like the standard grenades.
so moved on and now trying to prevent people from throwing the grenade
DURING the ready animation, for standard hl2 grenades the pin is pulled
when you draw the grenade and you can throw it without even fully
raising your arm.
In my mod the pins gonna be pulled at the actual animation when you
press lmb or rmb, I've been looking at the actual draw code but it seems
I can't use that to get the same effect for the actual animation just
before the throw.
Also tried taking a look at bugbait, I think there's a small delay
before you can squeeze again with bugbait so I though I might be able to
use that somehow, but no luck on that either.
So wondering if anyone else know some unused grenade like weapons that
may have an example of this?

Re: [hlcoders] Decompiling Orangebox Models
True, studiohdr_t.name would be easy, fixed length so anything within 64 bytes is fine. but if he's looking to change material paths to ones of different length he'll have to edit some indexes to comply with the changes and update studiohdr_t.length to match the new size of the file. I'll have to write a nice little document about that harder stuff sometime if anyone thinks it'll be handy Jonas 'Sortie' Termansen wrote: You want to change a path in a .mdl?

Re: [hlcoders] height2ssbump
Jake,
Try this or one of the associated links:
http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/WorldVertexTransition
The individual textures themselves are normal textures with pretty much all
the normal attributes - all three textures probably need to be the same
size.
The %tooltexture is the merged version of the two textures, I'm unsure
exactly how Valve made them so that they are seamless but I suspect it's a
function that a tool like PSP can perform - some sort of gradient / alpha
applied to each individual texture and the two overlayed on each other.
Something like this is probably easily done in a dedicated tool that could
be written in c# as well.

The individual textures themselves are normal textures with pretty much all
the normal attributes - all three textures probably need to be the same
size.
The %tooltexture is the merged version of the two textures, I'm unsure
exactly how Valve made them so that they are seamless but I suspect it's a
function that a tool like PSP can perform - some sort of gradient / alpha
applied to each individual texture and the two overlayed on each other.
Something like this is probably easily done in a dedicated tool that could
be written in c# as well.

According to that post, Source/ TF2 doesn't like ssbump on blended
displacement textures. He says that all of the working textures used a
normal map.
Looking in the TF2 materials list, I see however that ssbump is used for the
$bumpmap:
material:
blendgrassground001.vmt
WorldVertexTransition
{
$basetexture Nature/dirtground007
$basetexture2 Nature/rockground007
%tooltexture Nature/grass_02
%detailtype tf_granary_grass
%keywords tf
$bumpmap Nature/dirtground005_height-ssbump
$ssbump 1
$surfaceprop dirt
}
What I would do is start by copying a known working texture blend set and
rename it to your textures, make sure it still works, then substitute your
textures and verify that it still works, tweak as needed.
