Re: [hlcoders] Re: Parsing Player Information
They're a float I think. You want to convert the actual 4 bytes into a float and use that. At 23:36 13/10/2004, you wrote: I already had the documentation; that is not what I was looking for. As I understand, the last four bytes of each player information set is the time connected to the game. Do I concatenate the four bytes together in reverse after converting each one to its ascii number, like I did for the frags? (Asc(byte4) Asc(byte3) Asc(byte2) Asc(byte1)) Or is there something else that I have to do? When I use the same method as used on the frags, I get huge numbers, such as 8.723432E+10, so I doubt this method is correct...all my values are similar to this. However, when I use this method for the frags, I get returned correct results...any suggestions? ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders -- Programmer The Pokémod http://pokemod.687th.com -- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

I'm trying to do collision detection with the clipnodes in a BSP file, however I'm having some troubling figuring out exactly how to go about doing this. I tried looking at the source to botman's BSP viewer, but his collision detection doesn't use the clipnodes, that sly dog ;) My issue is that each clipnode only stores a single planenum, and leaf clipnodes are really just contents information. If I have point A, and I want to see if the camera can be moved to point B, I just check to see if point B is in a solid. If it is, I want to be able to determine the exact boundary, so I can do a line intersection and get the exact point on the wall where we must stop. However, the planes are setup hierarchically in the clipnode structure in such a way that it isn't easy to determine the exact boundary plane. Clipnodes don't store face information like render nodes. I was thinking I could find the plane furthest down in the clipnode tree that still intersects line AB, but I don't know if that's deterministic enough. It needs to find the correct boundary perfectly every time. Maybe I'm simply missing something. Or maybe I should follow in botman's footsteps and just do spherical collision detection with the render faces, I dunno :) ___ 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 -- Programmer The Pokémod http://pokemod.687th.com -- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

We will be releasing a new engine soon (within the next couple of days
we expect), we have added some new functions to the engine function
structure (from eiface.h). If you are responsible for a third party
program such as MetaMod you will need to update this engine structure
and recompile your program. Not updating will cause a crash when your
users try to use the new engine with the old engine interface
structure.

Re: [hlcoders] SDK line crashing linux servers
I'd say the most likely explanation is indeed shimms' and hofer's conjecture, i.e., that it has not been initialized. There is no serious compiler that will not follow the left-to-right rule, that's a fairly integral part of the C++ specification, which is used a lot (it's used throughout the HL SDK, for example), and certainly they all follow the correct precedence rules. Persuter -- I think it can depend on whether the compiler would use 'full' boolean logic (where all of a statement is evaluated, even if it's something simple like 1 0), or 'short circuit' (where the code will not evaluate further if it's obvious what the result will be, like 0 || 0) logic... I know Delphi (Object Pascal) can use either one, I'm sure C++ ones can too.

Re: [hlcoders] Yet another svc_bad error message... this one is weird
This was an idea I had a while ago - Valve could up the HL engine to latest tech, bump mapping, pixel shaders, higher poly limits etc, then release the upgrade as a retail product (testing for Steam perhaps?), but have it compatible with current HL (so netcode remains same etc), thus they would both extend the life of the HL engine AND make a bit of money :) At 15:40 10/03/2003, you wrote: [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Oh, I'd love to have it increased *ELBOWS VALVE IN THE RIBS* However I asked Eric about it, 2 years ago.

(grabs HL box) who seriously uses half-life on a p100, 16mb ram, no 3d accelerator, on win95? my oldest system can run it, if it ran windows (p133, 24mb, voodoo3) but it runs linux. my current system is considered a bear by those specs (duron 900, 320mb, GF Ti4200) but is slow to current specs (my next machine is an athlon above the gigahertz barrier, with DDR). Why not branch the codepath? have a -slow branch, netcode compatible with the -current branch? mods can choose to support HL-current, HL-slow, or both. that way, you can appease the snakes^HLawyers and the mod community, who want more features. (IE: implement specular highlighting, or bump mapping, or increase the limits, if you feel the need. Just because you have to commit to the boxed specs, doesn't mean you can create a patch which copies the HL executable, and applies itself to that copy, renaming the resultant file to HL-current. you still have an executable which is box speced, but you also have an executable that gives developers and more powerful systems more bleeding edge graphics output. of course, that might be a way of skirting the rules.

Re: [hlcoders] Adding new attributes
You cannot add new things to entvars_t (pev), because it is shared between
the DLL and the engine, and i think the network code expects it to be a set
size...
I'm surprised its not crashing.
Just add it to CBasePlayer and send it in each client update instead (make
sure you update your delta.lst)
At 22:07 4/01/2003, you wrote:
Alright if i want to give players a new attribute Like mana what structure
would I modify ? Im having trouble with my
new statistic, Client side, its jumping up and down everytime i use a

it's apparently keeping track because it eventually lets me stop using it,
but in my client hud it says i got damn near max left. I currently hopped
around peeked and proded and decided to add it to the entvars_t struct since
it contains health to keep track that way as well as an addition to
cbaseplayer. *I pretty much did a quick hack of all the player used health
pieces* so I send the message out with the entvars_t contained value, and
set the cbaseplayers value with that value like it does in health, and
during the communication it must get trashed. Any Ideas ? I decrement it
like this in the code serverside
--KiAttacks.cpp--
...
if ( m_pPlayer-pev-fKi 200.0 )
{//To check to make sure the player has enough to use the attack in
primaryattack
...
m_pPlayer-pev-fKi -= 100.0; //Decrement it
...
--End of KiAttacks.cpp--
So in reality that addition to cbaseplayer is useless as far as i can tell,
because on the client side, i recieve the
message in my healthhud and save it their(like health does).. and I only
check and decrement the entvars_t structure (pev right ??) sorry it's late
and i stopped working on this for about a month now and tried to ressurrect
and look at it again and find some help.

[hlcoders] Lots 'o precaching.
I have a rather big problem. I need some way to precache ~200 models but I cannot think of anyway to do this. I can't guarantee that any of them won't be in a level, but loading all of them would be a terrible waste of memory (even 500k per model thats 100mb of ram gone). All attempts I have made were (mostly) met with that horrible 'Precaching can only be done in Precache function' Does anyone have any ideas? (If this seems vague, I blame it on 4am). ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

I believe I can't do it as it is part of the engine :{
If this is the case is there any chance of getting the SDK updated at some
stage?
I want to add some melee attacks, and maybe make grenades off hand, and
using pev-button seems the obvious way to do it. Now pev-button is an
int,
so it seems only usercmd_t sould need to be updated.
I know I could do this with messages, but it seems to me that this would
be
a cheaper (bandwith), and more logical, method. After all, it would keep
all
the different buttons in the one spot :}

It's called bootstrapping and every compiler does it. You have to start at machine level somewhere, tho, unless you're cross-compiling (which is what is usually done).
