RE: [hlcoders] Re: Valve and Mod Distro...
I do believe if your mod is good enough Valve would make it available through steam, there is an option in steam to view 3rd party mods and download them, only the good ones get listed. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of stalker333 Sent: 29 September 2005 07:45 To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlcoders] Re: Valve and Mod Distro... This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Hello, I changed the subject because I felt it needed to be more fitting to the topic. I have been thinking of posting a suggestion like this for a few weeks, muddling it around in my head. Basically, I would like to see Valve open a community service that allows mod-makers to distribute their mods and updates via steam, for free or at most a very, very small fee. Why? Well, I think the community (the players) would think very highly of Valve if they showed real interest in getting OTHER peoples products in to their hands as easily as they can get Valve's games via steam. I'm sure Valve has thought about this at some point or another, but so far we havent seen anything like that (or I havent anyway). Seems like not only the players would apprecaite it, but mod-makers as well. Nobody likes to send people to an ad-ridden site to download their game. Plus, pushing updates is so much easier with steam. Since Valve's updates seems to break random things in mods more often than not (for various reasons, not saying on purpose) it would surely make all those project leaders happy to get their updates out ASAP too. Basically it would do two things. 1) Provide a very valuable service to players and mod-makers alike, making both happy, and 2) Serve as a hell of a PR tool. ;-) Has anyone from Valve ever commented on this idea? If so, sorry I missed it. If not, could someone let us know if this is on the drawing board or not?

I like steam, would rock if mods could distribute that way. Not to derail the thread, but I've got a side project that might interest you. I've written a similar program specifically geared toward mods, I've got some screenshots of it in action and the download link at http://www.vapour-online.com/ It lets players automatically update the mods they have installed, browse for new mods to install, find servers, chat with players, find related sites, and some other stuff. It currently supports HL2 mods and Doom3 mods, although it's pretty simple to add support for new games and I'm planning on expanding it to include several more. Each mod team is capable of uploading their own updates whenever they want, so you don't have to wait on anyone to set it up for you after you've got an account. If you've got a mod you'd like hosted on it, drop me an email and I can hook you up. You'll need the .net framework installed to be able to run it. This program isn't about stealing steam's thunder, it's about filling a niche that valve has so far not seemed too interested in. -- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders FusionPeople Ltd may monitor outgoing and incoming emails and other telecommunications on its email and telecommunication systems.

RE: [hlcoders] Changing the shape of the overview map
Cheers for the reply Alex
If you can edit the material there to take the colour channel from your
base (original) map texture and the alpha channel from your second
shape, you should be set.
Sorry to sound stupid here, trying to understand this part.
For the colour channel in the base map texture, this would just be one
of the channels like in photoshop?
For the alpha channel in the shape texture, this would be the colour I
use in the alpha channel or?
Would appreciate it if you could elaborate on this part, you would'nt

Create a second texture with an alpha channel in the shape you want the
map to be (e.g. a circle). The RGB channel contents shouldn't matter -
what you'll then need to do is create a new material for the map
overview texture.
Assuming you're using the standard overview method, your map materials
will be in the materials/overviews directory, and will be called
something like My_Map.vmt. If you can edit the material there to take
the colour channel from your base (original) map texture and the alpha
channel from your second shape, you should be set.
And that, unfortunately, is the tricky bit. I can't see a pre-existing
material which does what you want (which is slightly surprising, so I
may be wrong). If one doesn't exist, you may need to create a new
material.
For instance, at the moment my overview map material looks like this:
UnlitGeneric
{
$translucent 1
$basetexture overviews/mm3_block_17
$vertexalpha 1
$no_fullbright 1
$ignorez 1
}
I guess you'd want to keep that $translucent tag, but possibly set
$vertexalpha to 0 (depending on your shader, but basically you'll
want the texture alpha, not the vertex alpha). And UnlitGeneric will
have to become the name of your new shader.

Normally in a game the textures will have 3 or 4 channels (each 8 bits
of data): Red, Green, Blue and (optionally) Alpha. In Photoshop, if
you're looking a TGA file (as used by the Source engine), you'll see the
RGB channels which determine the colour of the texture. In some TGAs
you'll also see a grayscale alpha channel. White means more alpha
(opaque), black means no alpha (translucent).
So you need 2 textures: the base (overview) map texture, which is just
an overhead view of the level basically. All this texture needs is RGB
channels, no alpha channel necessary.
The second texture needs an alpha channel in the shape you want i.e. a
large white circle on a black background in the alpha channel. The
contents of the RGB channels won't matter because you're using the RGB
from the first texture.
So essentially you're creating a composite texture to use in-game from
your 2 source textures: RGB from the map, Alpha from the 2nd (shape)
texture.
Good luck. Business apps are a foreign language to me so I can imagine

Cool, there are so many existing shaders (and no docs apart from a list

shape, you should be set.
Sorry to sound stupid here, trying to understand this part.
For the colour channel in the base map texture, this would just be one
of the channels like in photoshop?
For the alpha channel in the shape texture, this would be the colour I
use in the alpha channel or?
Would appreciate it if you could elaborate on this part, you would'nt
believe I am a professional programmer (business applications) this
games programming really does puzzle me, far more demanding in math
graphics knowledge than anything I have ever done :)

Subject: RE: [hlcoders] Changing the shape of the overview map
Create a second texture with an alpha channel in the shape you want the
map to be (e.g. a circle). The RGB channel contents shouldn't matter -
what you'll then need to do is create a new material for the map
overview texture.
Assuming you're using the standard overview method, your map materials
will be in the materials/overviews directory, and will be called
something like My_Map.vmt. If you can edit the material there to take
the colour channel from your base (original) map texture and the alpha
channel from your second shape, you should be set.
And that, unfortunately, is the tricky bit. I can't see a pre-existing
material which does what you want (which is slightly surprising, so I
may be wrong). If one doesn't exist, you may need to create a new
material.
For instance, at the moment my overview map material looks like this:
UnlitGeneric
{
$translucent 1
$basetexture overviews/mm3_block_17
$vertexalpha 1
$no_fullbright 1
$ignorez 1
}
I guess you'd want to keep that $translucent tag, but possibly set
$vertexalpha to 0 (depending on your shader, but basically you'll
want the texture alpha, not the vertex alpha). And UnlitGeneric will
have to become the name of your new shader.

RE: [hlcoders] VUIG2 ingame editor problems

The problem I'm currently facing is that when hitting CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+B to edit a _fullscreen_ panel/frame, the VGUI editor CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+window is moved behind the fullscreen panel as soon as I click on a control I want to move around. Since I can't believe Valve hasn't thought about this issue, I'm assuming I'm missing another command to make the editor window stick to the foreground. Hitting the CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+B keys again doesn't bring it back to front either. I also can't seem to be able to edit panels that don't accept any user input (as in keyboard/mouse inputs). For instance, I can't edit the spectator gui when it appears at game start: when hitting the VGUI editor keys combo, nothing happens. So, is there anything I am doing wrong? Any tips appreciated.

I'm not entirely sure what you are looking to do, are you just looking to have a message in the scoreboard that tells you who the last person to kill the localplayer was? If that's the case I would just create a user message called something like ScoreboardKiller that sends over a string, then have that message registered to the scoreboard element, which stores it off into a member of the class. Then whenever someone is killed you send over the name of the killer to the scoreboard at the same time you send the deathnotice out. ___ 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 FusionPeople Ltd may monitor outgoing and incoming emails and other telecommunications on its email and telecommunication systems.

[hlcoders] ideas on making an expanding orb
I need to code an orb that expands over time, but not quite sure how to approach it. I am after some ideas on how I could achieve this, I was thinking of using a model, but there seems to be no way to dynamically resize a model, sprites are an option but I don't feel a sprite would look that great in the context I need it to be in.

RE: [hlcoders] ideas on making an expanding orb
hmm, the modeller is trying to fudge it with facial animation flex controllers, however this solution is not really desireable. If I was to use a sprite, I would prefer to use a sprite that doesn't always face the screen. Is it possible to make sprites not face the screen? this way I could maybe cross them so they look more convincing. Not sure if anyone has seen the sprite trails in the game eve-online but all beams and sprite like looking things are actually composed of more than one flat face, more like an X. cheers Ian -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Edwards Sent: 04 July 2005 14:55 To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlcoders] ideas on making an expanding orb If I understand the concept of rigid bodies correctly, there isn't going to be any way of doing this at all without faking it (like with a sprite).

Great! Thanks :) well needed. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Erik Johnson Sent: 28 June 2005 00:02 To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlcoders] HLCoders Today we're going to open up something we've been working on for the MOD community for the last couple of months: The Valve Developer Community. We've reworked our existing Source engine SDK documentation into a Wiki, which means that virtually all of the content can be edited by anyone with a web browser and useful information to share. We hope that this is an efficient and useful tool that the MOD community can use to share information on building a game using Source. The open nature of a Wiki raises some obvious concerns about what kind of content is contributed to the site, from worries about vandalism to honest inaccuracy and mistakes. There will be the occasional disruptive person, but the site provides methods for dealing with this. This is not Valve's site, this is the MOD community's site -- we've just helped out by jump-starting it for you. The new site should be treated like this mailing list -- as a place where you as developers can share information about how to make games using the Source engine. It should also a place where a number of people at Valve contribute fairly regularly, with the plan being to make it the most information-rich place on the Internet to learn about making a game using Source. The site currently contains all of the SDK documentation ported over to the Wiki format, but this is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of the content that is useful for developers to know when it comes to building games using Source. Everyone should feel free to go in and make any corrections or additions they think are appropriate. http://developer.valvesoftware.com http://developer.valvesoftware.com/ ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders FusionPeople Ltd may monitor outgoing and incoming emails and other telecommunications on its email and telecommunication systems.

RE: [hlcoders] Nightvision
Sorry to keep spamming this thread! I keep remembering more useful stuff. Check out the post-processing shader Valve have provided, if you insert the code mentioned in the comments of the shader source to where it specifies, you get a crazy looking shader when you compile and run. It's very easy from here to set up a console command that will enable and disable it, or you could do this in a more desirable way depending on how you use it. From here all you would need to do is figure out how to actually write that shader, which is out of my depth. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew (British_Bomber) Sent: 23 May 2005 14:06 To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlcoders] Nightvision I appologize if this a really dumb question.

You could use an array of buttons on a panel, you could possibly use one of those cool handy vector collection type thingies for the array so you can easily add new tabs to the strip, all you would need to do is handle a click event to change the background of a button (to make it look selected) and then update a member var to store which one is selected, this should be very simple to do. -Original Message- From: Heritage [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 29 April 2005 07:45 To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlcoders] I need an example of adding tab control for vgui I could not find any examples in the code, I just need the name of the control and maybe an example of adding tab pages to it. thx ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders FusionPeople Ltd may monitor outgoing and incoming emails and other telecommunications on its email and telecommunication systems.

OK, if I could take that back, found a back post on it. Bounding boxes
= collision bounds?
Sample code was...
bool CreateVPhysics()

SetSolid( SOLID_BBOX );
SetCollisionBounds( -Vector(12,12,12), Vector(12,12,12);
So I imagine I can find this for players as well.
