[hlcoders] Forcing player position
Hi, A lot of times in my mod I set the player position using SetAbsOrigin. I've always done this (since HL1) on the server and it was fine but in Source the players seem to be able to take a step forward (if they're pressing movement keys as I try and reposition them) before the server message arrives. How can I correct their position, i.e. snap them back. I want to do it on the server at the same time as I update their position. I need to be able to place them exactly where I want them.

[hlcoders] COLLISION_GROUP_PLAYER
Hi, I'm using the default Advanced SDK player collision with COLLISION_GROUP_PLAYER etc. But when people play online the players can quite easily vibrate right through each other (when both players are moving). You don't have to try hard, even if you're just backtracking somewhere and cross someones path you will go right through them. This is quite critical to my mod because there is a lot of pushing and shoving involved! Just wondered if anyone had any ideas how to make it behave more like HL1?

[hlcoders] Advanced SDK, know exploits/crashes?
Hi, I released my Source mod last week and I've got a bunch of bugs to fix, but there are reports of people crashing servers, somehow, as soon as they join. My guess is they're typing something into console. Is there any known ways to crash the Advanced SDK? Are there some commands I should be blocking off? (I noticed some of the mp_ commands that ship with the sdk don't have fcvar_replicated so they can be abused if your not careful - especially if you cutpaste them like I did to make new ones!). If you don't want to post a reply here could you email me directly please? I'd like to lock this down as it seems a few rotten apples are deliberately trying to ruin the game (as usual...). If you need any more info about me, please email me (I realise how delicate this subject can get on this list!)

[hlcoders] randomness
Hi, I'm using the Advanced SDK, Ep1 edition and I seem to be having real trouble getting radomness in the random numbers.

Re: [hlcoders] randomness
Yeah I noticed it uses the same stream after each restart, but it wasn't just that. It was more the distribution, for example when playing a 'rndwave' sound for footsteps, I have 12 wavs and it mostly seems to play the same few over and over (see list below - I printed out the sound name from 'CBasePlayer::PlayStepSound' and ran a few yards - as you can see it mostly plays sound 10 and never sound 1, 6, 7 or 12). I think there's something weird going on because when I did this test there were two stationary bots in the server. And when I do the test again without them (even though they weren't generating footstep sounds), the distribution looks much much better. So, err, I'm more confused now.

[hlcoders] aim layer animation
Is there an simple way to play an anim on the top half of the body in the
Advanced SDK. I've looked at the CSS aim stuff and I don't need it as
complex as that, I just want to occasionally play a differnt anim on the top
half of the player. I got it working a bit but the lowerbody run blend goes
wrong, but at least the top half starts to use the anim I want. I'm using an
aim layer and my normal run is like this:
$sequence run_lower {
runleft run runright
stepleft idle_player stepright
runback runback runback
blendwidth 3 blend move_y -1 1 blend move_x 1 -1 loop
ACT_RUN 1
{ event 7002 15 lfoot }
{ event 7002 4 lfoot }
}
and then I have a carry aim layer defined like this:
$sequence run_upper_carry carry FPS 30 loop weightlist nolowerbody
So when I ask for an aim layer (CalcAimLayerSequence) of carry it should
layer the run_upper_carry on top of the run_lower? But it doesn't seem to
work. The carry gets played but his legs go wrong, only a little wrong,
but still wrong, they don't seem to get blended properly. Without the aim
layer the run is fine.
I've tried lots and lots of qc variations and lots and lots of different
nolowerbody definitions.
Anyone know how to get it to work? I saw something on the wiki about
subtracting and using a delta but I just want the top half to come from
carry and leave the bottom half alone.
Mark.

[hlcoders] playing an anim
Hi, so in the advanced SDK how do you play a simple full body player anim? The problem I see is that no matter what ACT_ you set up in Player.cpp, when it reaches ComputeMainSequence() the function CalcMainActivity(); is called, which just stomps all over any specific ACT_ that has been set up by using the player movement and picking either walk/idle/crouch/jump. And so anything more complicated never gets played. How do you do it?

[hlcoders] player anims in multi
Hi, I've just noticed that when I play my mod online the other clients in the game don't seem to be playing the correct animations, from my point of view, but your own player does. For example, if someone strafed you would expect to see them play a strafe anim, but you don't, they just play the normal run anim and slide sideways. I've only modified sdk_playeranimstate.cpp (CSDKPlayerAnimstate::CalcAnimLayerSequence) to pick the names of my own animations. All the anims work correctly if you go thridperson and check them on yourself. Any ideas why they don't seem to be getting trasmitted. It's the advanced SDK.

Ok, I'll try one more time, then I'll give up (on the problem and probably on this list!)

The null pointer seemed odd but the code checks for it so maybe it's ok, I don't know. I thought it might be the map or clip brushes but I tried it in other maps and the same thing happens on the same sides of the maps. The map in the picture shows normal bsp walls, no clip, nothing fancy. I have rebuilt the map with Zoners tools and some really old ones that come with hammer, just in case it was a map/hull problem. Both gave identical results. This doesn't make sense to me so I'd appreciate any help.

[hlcoders] origin / collision problem
Hi, I'm seeing something strange with a simple, small entity to bsp collision. It seems that on the 'up' and 'right' walls of a map the entity cannot be 'flush' with the wall but on the 'left' and 'down' walls of the map the entity goes right up to the wall and collides correctly. Now, you'd think, oh your bounding box is wrong or your origin is wrong but I've spent a while double checking everything. I switched on the 'pm_debug' particle bounding box display and my entity does not display a weird offset collision box. I tried the 'calc auto bbox' code I found on wavelength, it came out with the same values I was setting with my manual call to util_setsize. I tried fiddling with the origin via util_setorigin but this did not have any effect, should it do? I tried re-exporting the model and checking the data. No matter what I do the entity will not sit flush with 'up' or 'right' walls of a map. It's almost like the map/entity collision is rounded up to 16 unit boundary, that's not the case is it?

[hlcoders] ducking
Hi, Is there a simple way to make the duck hold for a certain time once the duck key has been pressed. By default it just drops out immediately and you stand right back up. The only way I got it to work for a set time was to change the client input code so that forces an 'in_duck' keypress for the time period, but I'm not really happy with that way since I want control of the process on the server if possible. If I try to force pev-button |= IN_DUCK; on the server it doesn't work, the player still stands up as soon as the duck key is released?

[hlcoders] client weapons not playingback
Hi, I just released an update for my mod that included three new client weapons (we've been using client weps with no problems since sdk2.2). However, there is now an intermittent problem that only affects the new weapons. When you fire none of the client effects playback, so no fire animation, no muzzle flash and no sound. However the server side stuff works, i.e. if you point at someone and press fire you do actually damage them. It doensn't happen all the time, it seems intermittent on servers, sometimes a retry will clear it and they will work fine again. And, as I said, all the other (very similar) client weapons work fine, only the three new ones I added for this patch have this problem. I have never had the problem during tests or running lan games, but I have had it happen to me on public servers (normally windows based) Some of the community say they've seen this in other mods so I thought I'd ask if anyone has seen it or knows how to fix it.

RE: [hlcoders] first person spectator cam
Did you get the fov working in first person spectator mode? All I want to do is copy the fov from the person you're watching (using the g_iUser2 variable I imagine) to the current client. I wanted to refresh it in view.cpp, I tried accessing it using pparams, entity states, curstate etc but can't find a way to get at the fov of the player you're watching. I found one in 'ent.curstate.fov' but this is always zero. I checked my delta.lst against CS's to make sure I wasn't missing an entry that would involve this but didn't find anything different. I thought of doing it using a weapon event to set the correct fov when zoom mode is selected, but I couldn't get at the player in ev_hldm.cpp to update the current clients fov. (This seemed flawed anyway, since if you started spectating someone who was already zoomed you would have missed the event playback that triggered it) Anyone done this?

[hlcoders] [hlcoders]choosing gamerules
Hi, Is there a nice way to determine gamerules when the map loads? Say, by looking for an entity in the map? I think gamerules might be set too early on for such things as 'findentitybyclassname' to work, so is there another way or do you have to just look at the 'prefix' on the map name (which I rather avoid if possible).

RE: [hlcoders] strcpy( m_pPlayer-m_szAnimExtention,
Assuming it's a new player model, are there other player models loaded before this that DO NOT have the new anims? Try loading only your new model and see if it still happens or re-compile all your player models so the anims match in each.

I still think it's getting them from another player model. Recompile both teams with the new anims. Check that you are not still loading a 'Gordon' somewhere before your teams get set up? e.g. remove SET_MODEL(ENT(pev), models/player.mdl); Mark. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

[hlcoders] movetype_follow question
Hi, I'm trying to attach an object to the player. It's seems to be the norm to do something like this on the attachment object: pev-movetype = MOVETYPE_FOLLOW; pev-solid = SOLID_NOT; pev-aiment = Owner-edict(); pev-owner = Owner-edict(); pev-nextthink = gpGlobals-time + .1; SetTouch( NULL ); where Owner is a valid CBasePlayer ptr. This works and the object is attached to the player. However, there is one bug. The player animation starts to play at what looks like double the framerate. It only does it on animations that are 'gaitsequenced'. i.e. full body anims such as the jump are fine, but anything that leaves the top half of the model, the legs go twice as fast! Has anyone seen this?

RE: [hlcoders] SDK 2.3 spectator modes
I had to add an extra pfnServerCmd to send the selected camera mode back to the server so the server can update it's copy of user1 with the new value the player chose on the client.

[hlcoders] intermission?
Hi, Since SDK2.2, when the level changes at the end of a multiplayer map, it shows the 'intermission' scoreboard, then loads the next map correctly, then my mod gets stuck in limbo as the team menu's don't display. I tracked it down to the fact that the engine seems to still be calling: int CHud :: Redraw( float flTime, int intermission ) presumably with intermission still set to true, causing the following code to return out and preventing any vgui menus being displayed. (in TeamFortressViewport::ShowVGUIMenu) if ( gHUD.m_iIntermission iMenu != MENU_INTRO ) return; All players have to 'retry' at this point. :( I can comment the above lines out, but it means a client patch.

[hlcoders] HLTV bobbins
Hi, A HLTV proxy connects to my server and I send it game details, teamnames and score etc but when a client connects to the proxy server how does it(HLTV) know what to pass on? (i.e. the client is no longer getting info direct from my server code since it's connected to the proxy). The effect I get is that the client doesn't even get told it's watching a team game (i.e. it's not getting the m_iTeamplay msg from the proxy) and the teamnames don't seem to filter through. The scores and 'teamnumber's seem to get there eventually but only after a few rounds have been played (and I mean after the proxy delay is well into the game). Any ideas, do I have to send out lots of MSG_SPEC's or something or just make do with what HLTV decides to pass on?

[hlcoders] HLTV Spectator
Hi, I've just merged my mod with the full sdk2.2 and I'm trying to get it to work with HLTV. I start a server, run HTLV ont he same PC, connect 127.0.0.1. The proxy shows up as a spectator on the server and everything seems fine. I then browse the game from another PC and see the 'eyeball' icon entry and the real game entry. I join the 'eyeball' game. My games starts to load, 'spooling demo' etc, it get's to the loading sky console message (just before rendering starts I think) then just crashes to the desktop. I ran the joining client under the debugger and it's crashing in HL.exe. Any ideas on helping diagnose the problem? What does the proxy send to the client that could crash it? Or what is my cl_dll missing that could crash HL? I've made sure the FL_PROXY flag is preserved on the server and checked general spectator/overview code for merge problems but I haven't touched any of that code, as you'd expect. I've attached my hltv.log below, doesn't say much unfortunately. I've tried it with an overview test bmp in overviews dir and with it nothing in there. Thanks, Mark. WON initialized.

RE: [hlcoders] HLTV Spectator
Hi, I found the util on The Opera webby. I'm sure I downloaded it when David Flor first wrote it but seem to have lost it. I'll give it a try tonight and see if it fixes my problem. Thanks, Mark. __ This mail has been scanned for all known viruses by UUNET delivered through the MessageLabs Virus Control Centre. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
RE: [hlcoders] Overflow problem
Hi, OK I'll have a look at my MESSAGE_BEGIN's but I can't think of any that I'm sending a lot. My problem is trying to reproduce it so I can tell if I've improved it at all, is there any debug methods like setting my 'rate' very high or using 'fakelag' or something? Also, for players on the net at the moment would reducing their 'rate' help stop overflows at all?
