Re: [hlcoders] Model on VGUI
Just call the OpenGL functions from your Draw/Render functions. e.g. CMyVGUIControl.Draw() If you want to use custom renderfx you would have to do this somewhere in CGameStudioModelRenderer Btw. if you need other dlls, then make sure that you are loading them from your mod directory and not from the half-life directory( where hl.exe is ). I dont have the esf source here on this comp, so i cant help you out with the vgui thingy. Neuwirth Christoph schrieb: How can you do that? Using OpenGl specific stuff.

[hlcoders] Debugging multiplayer crashes?
Myself and a small team have been making changes for a couple weeks without testing whether multiplayer works with each revision. Without reverting to each revision and testing, is there a good way to pinpoint why the game crashes when the first client connects? We've got a listen server running, and in the process of the first client connecting, the server crashes.

Re: [hlcoders] Debugging multiplayer crashes?
You use the minidump files that Steam automatically generates when your mod crash, copy them into your mod's bin directory, and make sure the automatically generated (by the compiler) .pdb files are present there too, then you open the .mdmp file in Visual Studio and press F5 and the crash will be recreated. You can also run the game in debug mode with a debugger enabled.

[hlcoders] Need help with Act_Busy problem.
Hi guys, I created mod from scratch that not include ai_behavior_actbusy.h/cpp initially. So I copied the files from hl2 to my project to add act_busy functionality to it. My problem is, My NPC is doing nothing. I debug and found, it already found the hint node. And enter SCHED_ACTBUSY_START_BUSYING. But after that nothing happen, My NPC just stand still. Did I miss something? Or Anything that I should look into it.?
