C# is independent of the new .NET framework, but at the same time was designed with it in mind. .NET is a platform-independent (only the various flavors of Windows, unless MS is generous and allows development of the .NET framework for other OS's), language-independent target for writing programs. (Similar to the Java Virtual Machine, except the JVM is restricted to Java) This in and of itself is neat enough for me to learn some C# and try it out. .NET is completely language independent. You can write a C# class that inherits from a C++ class, which uses VB code for some of its methods. All of this Additionally, C# has many cool features that will let you create workable, aesthetic-looking Windows programs __FAST__. That's the keyword here, MS bills C# as a rapid application development language. You need to write a Half-Life model viewer, use C#, you need to write Half Life, use C++. As a programmer, I support platform-independent writing. Nothing's nicer then a clean bit of C code that will compile with the standard headers not only on Unix-based OS's but also Windows. However, the harsh reality is that 97% (conservative) of desktop users (for which games are targeted) are running Windows. I'll take writing a program in a day with C# and having it run for 97% of my audience then 2 weeks writing it so the 3 Linux gamers (or none in the case of HL, WINE aside) can enjoy it. david -Original Message- From: Tom [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2002 10:59 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlcoders] What is C# (was : Argh!) if its ms' version of java, does that mean u can embed it into web pages?

Re: [hlcoders] Map entities client-side
Prasing the BSP Client side is the best way...Although if its just an entity
that is used once, then just sent it serverside its easier to setup...
I'm gunna lead you through using the BSP Client side...
First thing add to your project
bspfile.cpp
cmdlib.cpp
mathlib.cpp
scriplib.cpp
And I Include bspfile.h into the files you wish to use the bsp stuff Now,
time to get the name of the map, well we know entity in index 0 is the map,
so lets use the name of the model, to get the map...
gEngfuncs.GetEntityByIndex(0)-model-name will give the map..now to load
the BSP File..
LoadBSPFile(gEngfuncs.GetEntityByIndex(0)-model-name);
Now the epairs/entities aren't prased in that they are just stored, time to
prase the entities
ParseEntities();
Now its time to find the entity you need..
entity_t * FindEntityByClassName(char *classname)
{
for(int i=0;inum_entities;i++)
if(strcmp(classname, ValueForKey(entities[i],classname)) == 0)
return entities[i];
return NULL;
}
Now how about we try and find and aim at an info_player_deathmatch entity,
we would do the following..
entity_t * entity = FindEntityByClassName(info_player_deathmatch);
How about an example of using that entity, lets make it aim at that point :D
hehe gotta have some fun sometime
vec3_t dirAim;
vec3_t MyOrigin
float Angles[3];
VectorCopy(MyOrigin,gEngfuncs.GetLocalPlayer()-origin)
VectorMinus(entity-origin, dirAim, MyOrigin);
VectorAngles(dirAim, Angles);
for(int i=0;i3;i++)
if(Angles[i]180)
Angles-=360;
gEngfuncs.SetViewAngles(Angles);
Now There you are happy as can be, only one thing, you will be aiming from
the center of your body if you try that, but thats just to show how to use
the entity_t stuff, btw the entity_t struct is stored in bspfile.h
I Recommend only loading the bsp and prasing it, probley in HUD_VidInit

Cant you pass the keyvalues to the client in your message? I know for my
mod we have animated plants and items that are on the server side only.
For
instance when the player touches the animated item, a message is sent to
the
client tellin it what it is and the inventory/hud info is updated
accordingly. I dont know if that pertains to your original question...
but
anyway... =)
If you really need the keyvalues, when the entity is created send a
message
to the client. Im tired... im going to bed.

Btw, to clear things up on this, I did indeed eventually use the message
to client and it works fine now (better than I expected, actually), but
I just found it odd that we can't get the keyvalues from the
client-side. OK, now continue the digression... :)
Thanks for everyone who helped, btw...

Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Map entities client-side
Two solutions come to mind:
- parse the BSP client side...
- transmit the value of that keyvalue to the client in a message, just
once while the HUD is initializing should do it (keyvalues don't
change
do they?).
I chose the latter for an entity that was placed in the map, and
rendered client side by TriAPI. I think some folks were working on
trying to parse the BSP client side, but ran into trouble keeping
things in synch...
I think you've been around longer than I have and may not need it, :)
but if you want to see an outline of my approach, I did up a tutorial
(concept mostly) here:
http://www.tourofdutymod.com/tutorials.php
Is there a way to access keyvalue info in the map from the client-
side?
I keep on thinking you must be able to, since obviously the client
side
has the map, but I haven't been able to find any way to do it.
Thanks,
