[hlcoders] Re: Open Source Mods (again)

Hello (again), I've started my open source mod on sourceforge. I figured out their terrifying way of dealing with code submissions and now I'm working on a way to manage the code using diff files. I downloaded sfk (as Mike suggested) and I understand that it can be used to apply patch files to

[hlcoders] Particle prototyping

-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Hi all, I'm starting to get into working on particle effects as of late. Just got a quick question to either Valve or anyone else who has had experience with particle creation - what is the easiest/best way to be able to prototype and test

Re: [hlcoders] Re: Open Source Mods (again)

-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Not sure how well that is going to work. I don't know how patch files would deal the base SDK being changed during updates, and then users applying the patches to a slightly different codebase than the patch was built from. It's unfortunate they

Re: [hlcoders] Particle prototyping

For what it's worth, I managed to get quick results by using the continue-edit feature in the MS Visual Studio debugger. I could tweak the variables for my particle emitter and see my results in a matter of seconds. Do you know how to use the continue-edit feature? - Original Message -

RE: [hlcoders] VAC keeps booting me from my own listen server! :(

Unfortunately I can confirm this. I ported from the 8/4 code from last year to the most recent version this weekend, and ever since whenever I load a map with sv_lan 0, the engine.dll calls LevelShutdown() almost immediately. sv_lan 1 allows playing. I really hope for an answer/fix soon, since

[hlcoders] Vehicle pose parameters instability

This is a problem we've had over half a year, but I've only discovered this mailing list now and I think my mails to Yahn are somewhere in his spam-archives :) Ever since we ported to the newer SDK version of august last year, we've had problems with our vehicle's pose parameters. It's been a

Re: [hlcoders] Vehicle pose parameters instability

Yea, I have the same problem as well. The pose parameter keeps flickering to 0.0f. If you check the values of the pose parameter on the server and client, I believe you'll notice that it only flickers on the client, which leads me to believe that it's not getting sent to the client properly. It's

RE: [hlcoders] Vehicle pose parameters instability

I fixed a bug in Portal with CNetworkArray. The symptoms sound similar to this where a networked array would not get the correct values on the client. Because of the nature of the bug you could actually update element zero and get the values networked properly. You might try forcing element

Re: [hlcoders] VAC keeps booting me from my own listen server! :(

We had the VAC problem a few weeks ago (where we had to run our servers with -insecure), but it's since resolved itself. We've never had any problems with the latest SDK causing the server to crash or shutdown. -Teddy On 1/31/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Unfortunately I can

Re: [hlcoders] Particle prototyping

I did some googling, it seems it's as simple as turning it on in the options! 1. From the Tools menu, click Options. 2. In the Options dialog box, open the Debugging node, and select the Edit and Continue category. 3. To enable, select the Enable Edit and Continue check box. 4. Click OK. Note:

Re: [hlcoders] VAC keeps booting me from my own listen server! :(

I don't think this has anything to do with any particular version of the SDK, or anything to do with the SDK at all. The issue is seemingly just that Valve can't keep the VAC servers online and stable, and whenever they go down, this issue resurfaces. At 2007/01/30 10:31 PM, Teddy wrote: We
