RE: [hlcoders] Single Player modding.
I suppose I better appologize to the list then for posting this! I am sure you can appreciate how difficult it is to find coders for a new Half-Life mod. The offer will stay open though:) sorry, Josh -Original Message- From: Nathan Taylor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 18 February 2002 23:15 To: HLCoders Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Single Player modding. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I'm not going to bitch like the last time, but is it just me or should this not be a place for recruiting? I understand that your intentions are innocent and that's fine, but I don't think it is appropriate for you to request assistance from this list seeing as we are a learning and solution list, not a recruitment list. =/ Regards, Nathan Taylor - Original Message - From: Pape Joshua SH Sent: Monday, February 18, 2002 2:14 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [hlcoders] Single Player modding. Dear all, I appreciate that this may not be the place to post a message like this but to me this was the best place to place the proposition. I am running a mod team for a new Single Player mod for HL. The story line has just been completed and at the moment the team is working on such things as the weapons system etc. We have three mappers working on the team, two musicians, a concept artist and a mechanical modeller. Some of you may know one of our mapper because he made Megalith - the Egyptian MP map. We are very much in need of a coder. We would like to do things like have the player be able to break necks silently like in metal gear solid. As well as all the basic manipulation. The story is the set in a world far into the future. Much like the ones of the Dune world by Frank Herbert or The Foundation of Isaac Asimov. You play an Assassin hired by an organisation to dispose or the Emperor. The story is very strong. You must work your way up 7 sectors, starting at the bottom sector of the capital city and end up in the Emperors quarters.

Re: [hlcoders] Brainstorming: simulating entity behaviour in a "laboratory" environment
Interesting... however, when I designed my complex seven-floor elevator with call buttons, in-elevator buttons, multi-floor-call-at-a-time, and floor-ordering, (all with standard ents, my 4th ever HL map) i used an ancient device to help me keep track of what all the ents where called and how the entire idea flowed. This device is known as PAPER. That's right, i drew out my plans, so i could keep track of them.

[hlcoders] Single Player modding.
Dear all, I appreciate that this may not be the place to post a message like this but to me this was the best place to place the proposition. I am running a mod team for a new Single Player mod for HL. The story line has just been completed and at the moment the team is working on such things as the weapons system etc. We have three mappers working on the team, two musicians, a concept artist and a mechanical modeller. Some of you may know one of our mapper because he made Megalith - the Egyptian MP map. We are very much in need of a coder. We would like to do things like have the player be able to break necks silently like in metal gear solid. As well as all the basic manipulation. The story is the set in a world far into the future. Much like the ones of the Dune world by Frank Herbert or The Foundation of Isaac Asimov. You play an Assassin hired by an organisation to dispose or the Emperor. The story is very strong. You must work your way up 7 sectors, starting at the bottom sector of the capital city and end up in the Emperors quarters.

[hlcoders] Brainstorming: simulating entity behaviour in a "laboratory" environment
Was recently working on a pretty complex set of entities to manage a firing range. It involves a fairly complex set of entities (game_counters, env_renders, func_guntargets, path_corners, weapon strips, triggers, env_messages, func_buttons, etc. etc. And what I found was that actually testing this in the "fuzzy" environment of a game was not always easy for several reasons... 1) I had no way to actively check the exact state of entities 2) Things happened too fast at times 3) Trying to scroll through the console to view "developer 2" output is not very good. Especially in a multi-player environment where people talking, dying, etc. cause excessive scroll. 4) I had to shoot all 5 of the targets in the rifle range and there's one that's pretty hard to hit :^) OK so what do I want? 1) A set of code that can parse a .map file, analyze the entities and identify... a) common errors such as targets with no matching target ent b) "orphan" entities that need to be targeted to do something, but nothing targets them c) "sequence trigger" entities that in some way start some event or sequence of events. Examples are buttons, trigger_once/multiples, etc. 2) Something that will diagram my entity relations in an abstract way. Has anyone ever used National Instruments LabView? 3) A way to simulate some entity behaviour using this view. Click on a func_button and "simulate" it's trigger - and watch just what happens. 4) View all entity properties during simulations to see just how they behave, etc. Now what would be REALLY cool would be some extension to HL that let extensive debugging/tracing information be sent to a second computer on the net. So you could run the game on one machine, and monitor the entities on another machine. Even perhaps manually trigger items via the debugging panel. For example, what if you want to go into spectator mode to properly view some event - yet then can't actually activate the events because you're no longer a player? Ah well maybe this tool is called "WorldCraft 4"? -- I think...I think it's in my basement. Let me go upstairs and check. -M.C.

I'm in the process of figuring out a bad ass bug we had in dod 2.0 with clients overflowing, so just seeing if any of you have seen this. We set up the voice manager as described in the 2.2 sdk, and implemented the key hooks: - Init in the gamerules constructor - Update called in the gamerules Think - ClientConnected called in the gamerules ClientConnected - ClientCommand called from the gamerules ClientCommand What clued me in to this problem in the first place was a large number of ReqState messages being sent by the server ( 109,000 of them in the span of a few minutes ) and the resulting overflow of the clients as they all tried to send back their VModEnable cvars. As a test, I commented the sending of this message, and the problem is solved, no lag when connecting, no clients overflow. My question I guess, is why? From the code it looks like the message should only be sent once, when g_bWantModEnable is true for that client. Then once the server recieves the ClientCommand, it sets it to false and it shouldn't be called again. Anyone have any ideas why this would be called repeatedly? I find it strange that Valve chose to use a CPlayerBitVec instead of an regular old bit string int to hold the boolean values, as it makes it harder to read and debug..

To do this, adjust ev_punchangle[2] to a positive floating point value to rotate clockwise, and a negative value to rotate counter-clockwise. Depending on which file you do this in, you will probably have to add an extern vec3_t ev_punchangle; If you need to do it server side, I think that adjusting m_pPlayer->pev->punchangle.z will do the same thing, but I have not tested this...

I said "contact the person that wrote the source code". I've always found that I can send an e-mail to one of the Valve folks about SDK issues that no one on any coders list or forum would be able to answer and they will usually respond with a descriptive enough answer to handle my question. They won't give you the source to Counter-Strike or TFC, but they will tell you enough information to help you figure out how to do something on your own.

RE: [hlcoders] Lag bug with CVoiceGameMgr
Hi, Did any solution come from this? Does it happen in other mods? I'm worried now 'cos I just added Voice to my mod and I don't want players overflowing and I'm not in a position to test it on large numbers of clients. Mark. -Original Message- From: Mugsy _ [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 14 February 2002 06:56 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [hlcoders] Lag bug with CVoiceGameMgr Hey all.. I'm in the process of figuring out a bad ass bug we had in dod 2.0 with clients overflowing, so just seeing if any of you have seen this. We set up the voice manager as described in the 2.2 sdk, and implemented the key hooks: - Init in the gamerules constructor - Update called in the gamerules Think - ClientConnected called in the gamerules ClientConnected - ClientCommand called from the gamerules ClientCommand What clued me in to this problem in the first place was a large number of ReqState messages being sent by the server ( 109,000 of them in the span of a few minutes ) and the resulting overflow of the clients as they all tried to send back their VModEnable cvars. As a test, I commented the sending of this message, and the problem is solved, no lag when connecting, no clients overflow. My question I guess, is why? From the code it looks like the message should only be sent once, when g_bWantModEnable is true for that client. Then once the server recieves the ClientCommand, it sets it to false and it shouldn't be called again. Anyone have any ideas why this would be called repeatedly? I find it strange that Valve chose to use a CPlayerBitVec instead of an regular old bit string int to hold the boolean values, as it makes it harder to read and debug..
