make sure the hud size is 640x480 in hudlayout.res

In the constructor:
int screenWide, screenTall;
GetHudSize(screenWide, screenTall);
SetBounds(0, 0, screenWide, screenTall);
SetSize(screenWide, screenTall);
Debug verifies it's called with the correct params (1280 and 768).
Thanks.

Hi,
Doesn't seem to work for me.
I've followed the tutorial, and call SetBounds with the results from
GetHudSize (which provide the correct values, e.g. 1280 x 7680) but the
right hand side of the image is still being chopped off. The image is
being drawn with the right dimensions, but right 2/5 or so is just
missing.
It's easier to just show you:

Could there be another HUD element in the way, or do I need to change
the size of something else?
Thanks

You may be able to solve it by grabbing the latest source from the
sdk,
and
merging the changes to panel.cpp in ApplySettings; without a full
port
to
orange box, and then rebuild your vgui_controls.lib and then of
course
re-link your client.
But do so at your own risk, It's just a thought ;)

Hi List.
I'm having some issues with VGUI in when in a widescreen aspect
ratio.
The issue is basically that the width of the VGUI elements
doesn't
appear to be being reflected properly based on the aspect ratio,
leading
to elements that are on the left of the screen rather than
centred
properly.
I have this problem in a couple of areas, as for example with HUD
elements defined in HudLayout.res as follows:
MyHudElement
{
...
wide 640
tall 80
...
}
I've also used the Add a Scope tutorial on the Valve Developers
Centre
Wiki, which cuts the scope off on the right hand side (nothing is
drawn
on the right hand side of the screen after what looks to be the
scaled
640 pixels mark). This is also specified with a width of 640 in
the
resource file.
What am I missing here? Shouldn't a width of 640 in the resource
files
be automatically stretched for a widescreen resolution? It
looks to
me
like it's only being scaled for a 4:3 aspect ratio as all my
elements
seem to still be positioned for a 4:3 aspect ratio rather than
widescreen (so everything is further left than it should be).
Thanks!

[hlcoders] filesystem_passthru.h -- IBaseFileSystem missing UnzipFile
--
[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ]
Hello, After updating the SDK with the files from ftp.valvesoftware.com to
update my plugin code, I have hit a dilemma, where two of the files don't
match
filesystem_passthru.h:
has a function
virtual boolUnzipFile( const char *pFileName, const char *pPath,
const char *pDestination ){ return
m_pBaseFileSystemPassThru-UnzipFile( pFileName, pPath, pDestination ); }
yet the filesystem.h file does not have this function in the IBaseFileSystem
class,
these two headers were from the valvesoftware ftp
Can anyone locate the correct headers for me ?
thanks!

Re: [hlcoders] FATAL ERROR (shutting down): New message started when msg '77' has not been sent yet
Two situation can cause that error:
1) Calling MESSAGE_BEGIN while another message is being written.
2) Forgetting to call MESSAGE_END and the end of a message you send.
It appears you are calling callback functions during MESSAGE_BEGIN,
MESSAGE_END, WRITE_BYTE (and many others). If any of these callback
functions call a MESSAGE_BEGIN you will get that error (since you would
be calling MESSAGE_BEGIN a second time before the first message ended).
There is no native queuing mechanism in the SDK, since this is only an
issue for plugins trying to intercept events. It is pretty easy to write
your own queuing mechanism. You can create an abstract class that can be
a int, float, vector, or string. Then use std::vector to hold the
instances of the abstract class. (If you plan to port to Linux you can
run into library dependency issues using the std library.)

My plugin looks for some of these messages but also sends some of these

driving me insane and I can't find
any documentation explaining these errors anywhere on google.
This is an example of how I'm writing messages:
MESSAGE_BEGIN(MSG_ONE, GET_USER_MSG_ID(PLID,TextMsg,NULL), NULL,

You don't even need the bounds. Just start from the smallest x,y to the largest x,y at the appropriate step interval. You will have 1024 trace lines per row for the pic.

Re: [hlcoders] Advanced Dynamic Minimap Creation
Looks like maps range +-4096. So if you create and image that is 1024x768. You would: 1) Trace from x = -4096 to x = +4096 at (4096/1024=4) point intervals. 2) Trace from y= -4096 to y= +4096 at (4096/768=5.33) point intervals. Each picture would require 786,432 (1024*768) trace lines. It might take a little bit of time, but it is simple and would work for any map. Nick wrote: How do you grab the bounds of the map?

[hlcoders] CBasePlayer::ChangeTeam( int) or CBaseEntity::ChangeTeam( int )
Hello peeps, I have hooked both of these functions in the gamedll and only the CBaseEntity version works - albeit in a limited fashion. I know the CBasePlayer is f00ked because of an out of sync SDK, and can probably be fixed other ways, so I have 2 questions. 1) When I change a players team using the CBaseEntity version, the player is swapped. The catch is, that the player never gets respawned, what other stuff do I need to do? 2) Does someone provide me with a temporary solution for using CBasePlayer whilst we wait for the next SDK release?

Re: [OT] [hlcoders] Overlay Text
I agree. I got a lame response from Alfred when I asked about getting HudMsg enabled; use those crap menus we have shown you how to use in serverplugin_sample.cpp. We are going to hack the DLL to enable us to do what we want, so just make it easier for us in the first place. If players don't like a particular plugin on a particular server, they can go to another one - that is the way it worked in Counter Strike before CSS came along, and it worked well. 15 months later, this tells it all really: Counter-Strike http://www.counter-strike.net107,250 66,177 4.539 billion Counter-Strike: Source http://www.steampowered.com/index.php?area=productnews_CSS 19,812 27,712 1.397 billion Counter-Strike Condition Zero http://www.cs-conditionzero.com/ 15,348 12,778 687.837 million Jay C. wrote: [RANT] This is one of those nice features Valve removed in source unfortunately.

[hlcoders] PrecacheMaterial() vs PrecacheModel()?

I would have thought the difference was obvious, however on investigating the

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; PrecacheModel(sprites/laser.vmt);nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;

RE: [hlcoders] PostMessage() Bug
Funky. Could be on my end.
Code is such:
KeyValues *msg = new KeyValues( MapIconUnblink );
msg-SetInt( data, index );
PostMessage( GetVPanel(), msg, UNBLINK_DELAY ); // UNBLINK_DELAY = 10.0f
The header file has such, defined private:
MESSAGE_FUNC_INT( OnUnblinkIcon, MapIconUnblink, index );
And the function OnUnblinkIcon is as such:
void WhateverClass::OnUnblinkIcon( int index )
{
m_OverviewIcons[index]-SetSelected( false );
}
Apparently, Panel::OnMessage calls itself with a null (KeyValues*)params
pointer, which causes a segfault on the second time around. If I change
this functionality to use MESSAGE_FUNC_PARAMS, then OnMessage calls itself
until it overflows the stack.
Backtrace is as follows:
client.dll!KeyValues::GetNameSymbol() Line 369 + 0x3

Re: Re[2]: [hlcoders] shareware?
As long as you're not using any Valve code, you're perfectly all right. If you can figure out the file format (and I've no doubt that it's perfectly easy; I just wouldn't bother personally) and write your own functions to read them, you're good to go. It really depends on the format. For example (IIRC) if you write a program that outputs a GIF you need to get permission (pay) to release it. If you write a program that reads mp3's you need to get a license from Thompson something (I think). This is a slightly different issue. GIFs and MP3s require royalties because they are *patented*. (Don't get me started on software patents :-P) And BTW the GIF patents expired just recently, in the US. IIRC the issue was actually the LZW compression they used. You really need to email Valve for permission. I don't think they'll have a huge problem with it since it will support the development of other tools - but best check. A good idea in any case. I don't see why they would have a problem with it, but it's polite to ask anyways.

[hlcoders] HUD resizing
As you guys might have noticed, there are some problems with the HUD element positions/sizes when you do a video resolution change in-game. (For a specific example, check out the suit-power and ammo elements in HL2DM). And I'm wondering if those will be fixed sometime soon. Why? Because I'm having some trouble with them. :D Without code snippets, I know it'll be next to impossible to give a specific soution. I'll just post some observations, though, in hopes that they might help. Problem: Hud element is incorrectly sized. Positions are OK. Observations: * Contrary to the description in hud.h, VidInit() does not seem to be called when the video resolution changes. * The size of my element is wrong, but specifically wrong; instead of being scalefactor * specifiedsize, it's scalefactor^2 * specifiedsize. It's as if the scalefactor's being applied twice. * As noted, the hud element position is correct. * Proportionalitiy seems to be interpreted a bit differently for HudElements. When I SetProportional(true) on these elements, I get the scaling difficulty. When it is set to false, I have no difficulty, but then some of my subroutines which rely on proportionality get messed up.

[hlcoders] Scheme
This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

All right. Before I start, I'd like to say that it would be nice having
some official srcsdk documentation on the whole Scheme shebang. Heck, if I
get a good enough understanding, *I'll* write it. :)
A general question first. Is it possible to layer schemes? From what I
see, loading a new scheme completely nukes the old; there's no sort of
inheritance mechanism where settings not explicitly defined in a child
scheme are taken by default as settings in the parent scheme.
Now, more specifically. I've attached a truncated copy of
TrackerScheme.res (because ClientScheme.res doesn't have some of the
features I want to ask about). Referring to that:
1) I see a sub-block 'Menu' defined inside the 'BaseSettings' block, and I
take that to mean that 'Menu' is some sort of mini-scheme. How would I go
about accessing this?
2) Borders. Uhhh, what? A quick abstract of their operation would be nice
(if you'd rather not bother, well then, I'll just have to find out the hard
way).
Thanks

Re: [hlcoders] Miscellaneous VGUI Questions
The Push/Pop is used by the Paint/PaintTraverse methods to deal with the panels GetPos(x,y) offsets relative to the parent and do clipping of children inside the parent rectangle. I wouldn't mess with these calls. Bingo. That's the reason why I want to mess with these calls :) Since evidently I can't make VGUI2 draw children before parents, to do it manually I could just call the child's Paint() method before I do the drawing for the parent itself. Unfortunately, though, as of right now the child seems to want to use the GetPos() offsets relative to the parent, and not itself, in its own Paint() code. Thus, the Push()/Pop() will be useful. So, mind enlightening me on its usage? mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
Re: [hlcoders] Miscellaneous VGUI Questions
A call to MakePopup(bool showTaskbarIcon,bool disabled) in the child's
constructor will make its position independent of the parent. This
would probably be a much easier solution, if that's all you need to
do.
Heh. Not quite.
The following code paints the child before the baseclass, but the painting
occurs in the parent's coordinate space:
CClass::Paint() {
ChildObject-Paint();
BaseClass::Paint();
}
Thus the need for the push/pop:
CClass::Paint() {
PushMakeCurrent(foo);
ChildObject-Paint();
PopMakeCurrent(bar);
BaseClass::Paint();
}
where 'foo' and 'bar' are associated with the child. The question is, what
are the args supposed to mean? (I can make a guess, at least, for
PushMakeCurrent())

[hlcoders] Miscellaneous VGUI Questions
Wrapping up my HUD stuff. There's still a few rather unrelated questions I have, so I'm going to present it as a big omnibus e-mail: The VGUI schemes. As I understand, the first one loaded is made default. Is there a way to layer these things, as in, to have two simultaneously loaded scheme? In the same vein, is there a way to force a panel and all it's children to recursively adopt a scheme? (I'm guessing, SetScheme()?) Is there a way to force-draw children before parents? ipanel()-SetZPos() doesn't seem to want to work this way. What are the usage details for PushMakeCurrent() and PopMakeCurrent() in ISurface.h? I guess they push/pop the current rendering context onto a stack somewhere for calls to vgui::surface(), but what are the usage details? (i.e. what do the arguments mean?)

[hlcoders] Forcing things such as kill, name on a serverplugin
Doing these things require some tricks (CBasePlayer, offsets...), but some of it would be pretty easy if ClientCommand was reliable. The problem is if you issue something like ClientCommand( e, kill ); it won't work very well if the client has an alias for kill.. If you could do something to force the cmd, not alias, or unset the alias command (temporarily preferably), it would work. Not ideal, but it would work.. Thoughts/help about this?

[hlcoders] Fog in Software Mode?
All: I have been able to create fog in hardware mode but not software. Has anyone been able to create fog (or a resonable facsimilie of it) for the software mode?

Re: [hlcoders] Half-life SDK v2.3
Eric, If I understand this correctly, the Single-player source is equivalent to the Full SDK and the Multiplayer Source is equivalent to the Standard SDK, and they are bundled together. Also, it appears the Single-player source can still be used for multiplayer games. Am I correct? Looking at the both source directories, I see duplication of entire directories. Not that I am complaining; I really appreciate Valve making this available to us mod makers. But a 114 MB download is a BIG download, and rearranging the files to reduce the size would be good. OK, so I am complaining a bit. :-) Thanks again for making this available! Scott Eric Smith wrote: In the past, we've released the Full SDK (which included the AI/monster source for single-player) and the Standard SDK (which did not include the AI/monster source). Now there will just be one SDK and it will include folders called Single-Player Source and Multiplayer Source. These folders are the same, with the exception of the AI/monster source in the Single-Player Source folder. Most of the bugs that were fixed have been mentioned on this mailing list at some point since the last SDK release. I don't have a list right now. The main bug I remember is the gauss fix (client prediction problem). The login is case sensitive, so make sure you're entering the information correctly.

OK. I think I was vague. What I am trying to accomplish is that my executable has an custom icon associated with it, instead of the standard windows console executable.

[hlcoders] Mod causing error on exit
All: One of the projects I am working on is causing the following error (translated) on a teammates computer: HL caused pagefault in module KERNEL32.DLL at memoryspot When he types exit at the console. I have not been able to reproduce the problem on my computer, but he says that it occurs on his computer and several of the beta testers machines. Has anyone else had this problem?

Re: [hlcoders] Mod causing error on exit
LOL. I would if I could, but I can't reproduce the error on my machine, and my teammate doesn't have MSVC++ on his machine. -Scott Oskar 'Zoot' Lindgren wrote: Debug! - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2001 10:48 PM Subject: [hlcoders] Mod causing error on exit All: One of the projects I am working on is causing the following error (translated) on a teammates computer: HL caused pagefault in module KERNEL32.DLL at memoryspot When he types exit at the console.
