The sample application also handles creation of the scene as a whole. This involves the placing of trees and other objects into the scene. When needed, the sample application makes calls to the current SpeedTree wrapper class to access update, rendering, and state management functions of the SpeedTrees /Our question isn't whether the physics and rendering engine are included in the Source SDK because we know that they are not, but rather: would implementing a system such as this be possible, and would access to any API of the Source Engine be possible in any way?

Re: [hlcoders] Threaded plugin
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I wan't to see how UE3 handles threading say BotMan ;) Shouldnt GearBox be working on some newfangled next gen title using a certain engine ;) On 8/9/05, Patrick Flanagan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: As he said, it's very difficult to write a well threaded game, there's tons of synchronization that needs to take place, and it becomes debugging hell. I don't know about HL2, but with Doom3 originally they had planned to have the rendering running on one thread and the physics and sound each running on separate threads, but during development it was a nightmare to code and they eventually gave up because of too many synchronization problems between the threads. They ended up with one thread for sound (which accounts for very little cpu time) and everything else in the other thread. The problem is that usually the tasks you're doing aren't easily parallelizable. You've got to receive all the input before you can run the next frame,and you've got to run the frame before the renderer can render that frame. Similiar with physics, you could easily thread it if all the objects only interacted with the world, but since they can potentially interact with each other, you can end up with a lot of problems. Sure you can have different threads running different tasks, but typically the other threads are going to be blocked waiting for the previous thread to finish its processing for that frame so that the next thread can start its processing for that frame. Since nothing is running in parallel then, you don't get any advantage from using multiple threads. And thats assuming the code is written correctly, which isn't exactly a cakewalk :) On 8/8/05, Jeffrey botman Broome [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Damien wrote: Maybe the Valve developpers may think about Thread implementation, to let coders use threads in their mods/plugins. Because the first problem I've found for thread coding is that thread implementation in linux and windows are VERY different... So if the engine could give some Thread primitives, it may be better (I mean thread_start, thread_stop,thread_yield, and basic mutex functions)... Threads in games are REALLY hard to do properly. Game developers working on next generation consoles (Xbox360, PS3, etc.) are spending a lot of time and effort trying to create game engines that will handle multiple threads (and/or multiple processors) efficiently. It's difficult to take what has always been a sequential sequence of events (get input, move objects, render frame, repeat) and make threads or tasks that divide up this work without spending a lot of extra time trying to synchronize things between processors or threads. It seems like it would be a simple task to just make separate things run on separate processors, but there is quite a lot of inter-dependency between things in the world, so many times you can't perform calculations on thing A until thing B has been updated, and thing B may depend on thing C and D, etc. Not only does the creating of the code become much more difficult, but the debugging of the code becomes a nightmare (because you pretty much need a separate debugger for each thread or processor). -- Jeffrey botman Broome ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders -- - Ben Davison - http://www.shadow-phoenix.com -- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

On 7/6/05, Predatory Kangaroo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm not sure everyone's clear on what's being suggested here. Botman (as did I) seems to have assumed that when you said Make a clone of Valves commercial games, you meant that you or your team would reimplement the engine itself (heck, to design Source in 5 years would be a shocking accomplishment for any of us). If we assume that you mean you would reimplement just the mods themselves, that's a rather more realistic goal, but you're still playing catch up. If you aim to maintain compatibility between your mod and the original mod, you would have to release an update after each CS update, from the simple stuff (tweaking balance values) to figuring out the changes in internal structures. If you aim to merely approximate the gameplay, then you're going to have to realize that you're making a mod which is nearly identical to a publically available, very widespread mod... I hardly think the average user will see a reason to switch. Here, too, if you're going to try and match CS as closely as possible, with each CS release you'll be tweaking your own mod, so you still have to make changes far too often, which beggars the question - what's the point? In any situation, there will either be no incentive for most users to switch, or there will still be the same level or regular maintenance required. The only real hope we have is for Valve to return to their original stance of allowing easy metamoddability, as well as normal moddability. As for my own stance on the matter, I feel that by limiting the power of server plugins, Valve is denying Server Administrators the freedom that they have been long accustomed to. The idea that server plugins can detract from the overall online experience is rather absurd to me, as while it is true that the possibility of there being subtle differences from server to server might confuse a newcomer, it's also true that in limiting the power of the people to modify the game severely limits the replayability (as much as anyone may enjoy the original formula of any given mod, it eventually gets old). Through metamod and the like, HL1 mod players have often continued playing a mod long after they tired of the mod itself, instead enjoying the myriad extensions and modifications to the mod around there (this is certainly the case for me).

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.

Re: [hlcoders] Drawing crosshair to the screen
Thanks for the contribution :) Might come in handy sometime :)

I had asked this awhile back and a couple of people had some suggestions
like, animated textures etc.
Well there isn't many people who know how to do this without using a texture
or a font icon.
Well CSS does not use a texture or an icon I do not believe because I
searched just about every texture file and font file for CSS for a
crosshair...
Anyways you can draw the lines to the screen and once you get them drawn you
can then animate the crosshair to do whatever...
Here is the snippet of code so you can at least draw the crosshair to the
screen..
(I used CHudZoom to get an idea of how to draw lines to the hud...)
(Valve if this is not the best way of going about this let me know)
CHudCrosshair::Paint()
{
// Verticle Reticle -r00t
surface()-DrawSetColor( 0,255,0,200 );
surface()-DrawFilledRect(xpos , 287, xpos + 1, 287 + 10 );
surface()-DrawFilledRect(xpos , 297, xpos, 297 + 6 );
surface()-DrawFilledRect(xpos , 303 , xpos + 1, 303 + 10 );
// Horizontal Reticle -r00t
surface()-DrawFilledRect( 387 , ypos, 387 + 10, ypos + 1 );
surface()-DrawFilledRect( 397 , ypos, 397 + 6, ypos);
surface()-DrawFilledRect(403 , ypos , 403 + 10 , ypos + 1 );
}

Once I had that, I needed access to the list of entities that the current map contains, which is as far as I can tell, only available when the map loads, so I put in a couple of extra procedures in the IGameSystem class (a global singleton interface to the game rules). These let me cache a copy of the entity list from CServerGameDLL::LevelInit_ParseAllEntities() (found in sdk_gameinterface.cpp). With that information, I was able to loop through all the entities, check if I they needed deleting - use UTIL_Remove on them to do so. Once the entity list was clear, I call MapEntity_ParseAllEntities with the map entity list and the filter. Then it's just a case of calling the spawn function on the players.

}
pRagdoll-SetInitialBonePosition( pstudiohdr, pDesiredBonePosition );

I'm not sure under what circumstances the ragdoll is not valid, but
apparently this was happening periodically. So when the ragdoll was
not valid, it would delete that pointer and then immediately call
SetInitialBonePosition on it. Nice.
I changed the if block to:
if ( !pRagdoll-IsValid() )
{
Msg(Bad ragdoll for %s\n, pstudiohdr-name );
delete pRagdoll;
pRagdoll = NULL;
return pRagdoll;
}
and haven't seen this crash since.

Re: [hlcoders] Resetting entites on round restart.
Do you use mapentites.h? The way I figured was go through every entity at RoundRestart(); and delete them apart from players, lights etc. But at the moment i'm just figuring out how to-do it. This is how im looking at it at the moment, Add every entity to a list then filtering out which ones to delete. Is there some way to tell if something should not get deleted or do we have to manually filter ourselves?

Re: [hlcoders] HL2DM SDK in January or February?
Bot API? Is that going to be using bits of the CS:S bot code? Also that change list mainly seems geared towards plugins, also has valve fixed the memory eating error with hammer and steam?

We have also extended the IPlayerInfo structure to return more data about player. You should use the IServerPluginHelpers::CreateMessage() function to communicate with end users from a plugin (oh, and we added a DIALOG_ENTRY message type that lets you prompt a user for input). - Alfred Original Message From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Josh Sent: Tuesday, January 18, 2005 7:08 AM To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: RE: [hlcoders] HL2DM SDK in January or February? Any possibility of any server plugin updates? Perhaps the ability to change a user's origin? It would be great if there could be a function that allows us to modify the damage done per shot before it is processed. Not sure if you wanted a feature request or not :P Also, will hudmessages be fixed for CS:S?

The code for HL2DM won't be until February at the earliest. I am interested as to why people want it. It doesn't contain anything more that the current SDK.

Can you please stop changing the posting titles because it starts a
new conversation thread on most clients.

One note, Matt.
First:
I fixed the physics bugs with the code in http://www.sourcewiki.org/
www.sourcewiki.org
Well, when I walk in a room and touch a physics object (a chair or a table),
the pitch parameter turns, but only one time.
I used cl_showanimstate to see it.
The aim_pitch turns from 0.0 to random number and the HL2DM model
change the pose animation
Why this change??
Sorry for my English.
I change the pose parameter in this function in base_playeranimstate.cpp,
Using HL2DM animations.
void CBasePlayerAnimState::ComputePoseParam_BodyPitch()
{
// Get pitch from v_angle
float flPitch = m_flEyePitch;
if ( flPitch 180.0f )
{
flPitch -= 360.0f;
}
flPitch = clamp( flPitch, -90, 90 );
// See if we have a blender for pitch
int pitch = GetOuter()-LookupPoseParameter( aim_pitch );
if ( pitch 0 )
return;
SetOuterPoseParameter( pitch, flPitch );
g_flLastBodyPitch = flPitch;
}
I changed LookupPoseParameter(body_pitch)
with LookupPoseParameter( aim_pitch). But don't work.
Can this be a pitch bug in SDK??

Re: [hlcoders] RE: HL2DM SDK in January or February? Matt, i discovered something
Line 334 in c_sdk_player.cpp should be:
CODE
m_PlayerAnimState-Update( EyeAngles()[YAW], EyeAngles()[PITCH] );
Or at least that's what I did and it works. There may be a better way
to fix it.

Random number? Where is that number coming from? We need more info to
help you fix this problem.
What happens if you do this:
int pitch = GetOuter()-LookupPoseParameter( aim_pitch );
if ( pitch 0 )
return;
SetOuterPoseParameter( pitch, -90 );
Does your player model pitch change at all?
