Re: [hlcoders] RGB colors
well lets take a look at it the values were 5, 5, 25.5 now the colour index goes from 0 to 255 so the largets range is 255. now if 25.5 is the largest found value they used one can assume that 25.5 * 10 = 255 which is the largest index from 0-255 in the colour index. - Original Message - From: Yacketta, Ronald [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 11, 2002 11:30 AM Subject: RE: [hlcoders] RGB colors And where in pray tell is this in the code ?

Re[2]: [hlcoders] NULL player problem
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: MD5
Now there are a few other things i have thought of and taken into
consideration and i dunno if these may affect it in anyway but i better
mention it. I changed the default spawn behavior and made an extra variable
called b_canrespawn this way while players were rechoosing equipment etc
they remained dead to the world and spectators etc had this set too. In the
player::prethink i then changed the line that was something like
if(deadflag = dead_no) or something to if(b_canrespawn deadflag =
dead_no)
although i am sure that doesn't effect it in any way.
[snip]
But the next thing i am going to mention makes it appear real funny.
Once i reset the round in the gamerules function all players that
disconnected don't then effect it at all :/ it only seems to effect the
current round and i have looked at it many times and can't see the problem
so i'll post some stuff here.
in the round restart it just does

cbaseplayer *plr = NULL;
for(int i = 1; i = gpglobals-maxclients; i++)
{
remove from spectator mode;
put player in observer mode;
show plr vgui equipment menu;
}
First impressions here is that the disconnected could be getting stuck
in spectator mode, or some kind of mishmash of alive/spectator...
However, we had a similar problem with The Opera in our rounds where
ClientDisconnect wasn't actually called for all disconnects.
Also, wasn't there a thread on here a while back about player
structures being cached on a disconnect? And so a simple IsNull
check wouldn't return false even tho' the player had left the game.
Hope one of those are of use...

Re: Re[2]: [hlcoders] NULL player problem
actually now that you mention it i may have a problem with not removing them
from spectator mode correctly hmm with what your saying and how they are
getting locked in it if it can indeed happen then i think you may have
solved my problem.
That or you reckon a isNull check on the player in the gamerules check eh?
Anyways i'll give it a belt and get back to you :) thanks for taking the
time to reply.

Re: [hlcoders] RGB colors
Maybe to someone who has used RGB in that format before yes, but I have never used/seen it that way until I started to muck with certain functions client side. I am sure there are numerous things that were not so obvious at first to you, but now are rather obvious. I agree. Looking at most of the network messages (TE effects), it's common to see time values in 1/10ths of a second. For example, in common\const.h... // byte (frame rate in 0.1's) // byte (life in 0.1's) // byte (line width in 0.1's) // byte (noise amplitude in 0.01's) ...but color is usually represented as bytes... // byte,byte,byte (color) ...for OpenGL stuff it's not uncommon to have color represented as floating point values between 0.0 and 1.0, but you can usually tell this when the function name ends in 'f' like glColor3f(). Seeing values like (5, 5, 25.5) would lead me to believe the color values were floating point (due to the 25.5) but the only way you would know that these were scaled down by a factor of 10 would be through experimentation (or if this fact had been clearly indicated in the comments in the r_efx.h header file, which it is not).

[hlcoders] HUD saytext.cpp question
So I was working on getting the client.dll to compile, link, and run using the Borland or MinGW C++ compilers and noticed this in the CHudSayText::SayTextPrint() function of the saytext.cpp file...

Also, since the valve directory doesn't have a sound directory, that file doesn't exist on my machine. The cstrike folder does contain a sound\misc\talk.wav file that just contains the mike off click. But why would you want to play a mike off click when someone sends a TEXT message??? P.S.

Why in the world would you use generalized libraries when you can knock on the next office and get the source? Check SPY+ on a few MS apps.. You'll be surprised. Visual Studio uses MFC heavily for a start. And Gollum, indeed I had noticed that VB5 and VB6 are light years ahead of the early stuff. Very nice for simple database applications, good SQL stuff. Kudos. :) The easiest way to tell is to run SPY+ and look at the class names. MFC stuff has random ids attached to the name, whereas stright API classes are plain names like Edit and listbox. Also, Delphi/CBuilder stuff has names such as TApplication and TButton. As for VB, i'm not sure, but I guess they have different names too.

Ok, how dumb of me earlier. I ran all the .exes through the dependency walker that comes with Visual Studio. A VB App (any that I've ever seen, are all dependent on: MSVBVM50.DLL which in turn depends on stuff like GDI, Kernell, etc type dlls An MFC App would have MFC42 dll in its dependency tree, then GDI and kernell etc. For Office (for example), I see neither of those. I see WWINTL32.DLL (don't know what this is) and MSO97.DLL (likely just a library of common code for office), but no VB runtime or MFC42 anywhere in there. Therefore, if I had to make a semi-educated guess, I'd say that office is written (office 97 is what I have, so this is a little dated) entirely in C, no MFC, could be C++, but it's likely that it's using straight Win32 API calls for the GUI. Oops, sorry about the WAG I made earlier ;) That's a great tool for remembering what to ship sort of complex products, I always have it in my 'send to' menu, so I can make sure that our distribution folks never forget to include a .dll or whatever on a CD ;) Maybe they wrote them in Delphi --- Florian Zschocke [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Simon Rose wrote: It always did my noodle that something could compile itself, if you see what I mean.

Re: [hlcoders] HUD saytext.cpp question
I noticed that... When I was *only* a player (and not a coder), I noticed that I got some 'Unable to open file misc/talk.wav' at the console. I wondered what was the cause of this message but I didn't find any answer... When I *became* coder, I commented out the 'PlaySound(misc/talk.wav);' line not to have this message at the console. I think this line is there to play a sound (like a chime) to indicate that a new message has been received (a chat message for example). A similar sound is played in Wolfenstein when you get a new chat message... It indicates you that you _have_ to look at your message list...
