[hlcoders] little app
This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Hello, I've downloaded the new Hammer 4.3 but there's 2 features I excepted I haven't seen :( The first is to be able to print the map draft... But I can do without it :) The second thing is a "Shut down after succesful compilation" checkbox... It'd be very useful. Now comes the real code question :D I found a way to get around this without a new version... The principle is to make a little Console Application which could be run after the compil tools (in the Run window) and which shuts down the PC. But I don't know how to shut down a PC in C++...

[hlcoders] v_weaponmodels skin changing
This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I've noticed that the python weapon model has submodel groups in it but what i really want to do is change the v_models skins on demand. you can set a players skin by playerPointer->pev->skin but it doesn't seem to work on v_weaponmodels... i tried adding it to the deploy function (pev->skin = 2) but it doesn't do anything the model stays its first skin. I have a compiled model with multiple skins already set up and i have done skin changes with player models before but it doesn't seem to work with the weapons for me. desert crisis did multiple submodels for each skin change. Am i not able to change the skin colour of a v_weaponmodel without making each skin colour change a submodel of the v_weaponmodel? Anyone got any ideas about this as to whether you can do it? maybe i am doing it wrong but i dunno. All that changes in the v_weaponmodel is the hands skins the weapon itself stays untouched but since the hands are compiled into the weapons its really part of the weapon so it should change :/ i dunno.. help anyone??? it'd be appreciated. thanks in advance Christopher Long. -- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

Actually, instead of using a black box, you could turn of rendering of the world using pparms->onlyClientDraw. Have a look at view.cpp. Sorry for hijacking this question, but is there a good way for drawing triapi triangles directly on the screen?

Re: [hlcoders] Modeling Rendering in the Customize Menu
> Fudge. That leads me to wonder how quake 3 handles it then. The Quake 3 game menu allows models to be rendered as a feature of the menu application. The Half-Life game menu does not. If you wanted a static 3D image, you could render the model in an OpenGL application, save a .bmp of the model and display that (of course it won't be animated). The other alternative is to create your own game menu application that displays things however you want. Start Half-Life by execing the hl.exe with "-game MOD +maxplayers N +map mapname" from within your game menu.

Re: [hlcoders] Modeling Rendering in the Customize Menu
technically you could get all of the features of the hl menu into vgui - you already have half of the server browser, all of the other options except res and graphic settings are in the config.cfg and im sure the res and graphic settings must be stored in a file somewhere which is easy to find - Original Message - From: "Nathan Taylor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "HLCoders" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, April 13, 2002 6:27 PM Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Modeling Rendering in the Customize Menu > -- > [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] > Spiffy, thanks for the tip.

RE: [hlcoders] Modeling Rendering in the Customize Menu
Well, it is possible to have done. But not really for a mode team. That option would have to be done by the valve team. Because it would have to be edited in the Half-Life launcher. Just a few weeks ago I e-mailed VAVLe about stuff like that. I was hoping that there would be a way to have music playing in the background of the launcher like in Q3. I got a reply telling me that its not possible because they can't release the launcher source. But they were working on a way for mod teams to be able to have stuff like that. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Nathan Taylor Sent: April 13, 2002 7:27 AM To: HLCoders Subject: [hlcoders] Modeling Rendering in the Customize Menu -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Hey guys, I was just wondering out of pure curiosity, is it possible to get Half-Life to render models in the menu system?

Re: [hlcoders] TGA Files in Menus
Hi, Getting back to the original question (TGAs showing up with only 256 colors). I tried it myself and I got only 256 colors, too. It looked ok, but having at least 16bit would be muuuch better. So, why does HL reduce the color depth? To me that does not make any sense, does it? cya, TheTinySteini ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

RE: [hlcoders] v_weaponmodels skin changing
The viewmodel inherits the skin setting (and everything else except model, frame, and sequence) of the client's viewent, which is typically the player. If you can locally - on the client - change the players skin (and body, etc.) then the weapon should work how you want. -Original Message- From: Christopher Long [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, April 13, 2002 6:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlcoders] v_weaponmodels skin changing bump does anyone know the answer to this i'd like to clear it up for myself. - Original Message - From: Christopher Long <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, April 13, 2002 5:59 PM Subject: [hlcoders] v_weaponmodels skin changing I've noticed that the python weapon model has submodel groups in it but what i really want to do is change the v_models skins on demand. you can set a players skin by playerPointer->pev->skin but it doesn't seem to work on v_weaponmodels... i tried adding it to the deploy function (pev->skin = 2) but it doesn't do anything the model stays its first skin.
