RE: [hlcoders] Anyone bypassed the max weapons limit before?
What I did for FLF 2.0, was since a playe4 can only ever carry 7 weapons (knife, pistol, primary, secondary and 3 different types of grenades (not all classes can have all 3 though) I only transmit the data for 7 weapons at a time, ever. I don't use pev->weapons as I don't need to use the weaponbits at all the way that I transmit. Basically, I modified GetWeaponData in client.cpp so that it loops from 0-7 (the max number of weapons the player can ever pick up) and then on the client in HUD_WeaponsPostThink I figure out which weapon is which, and check which hud slot to toss it into. Also, my weapon code doesn't need any switch statements to grab data; the client utilizes GetItemInfo properly, just like the server. Saves lots of time both in adding weapons, and in code size, -Original Message- From: Jeff Fearn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: November 3, 2004 6:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Anyone bypassed the max weapons limit before? Another way is to use the players class as a reference into an array of weapons. This way you can have 31 weapons for each class. If you don't have player classes then you can use the player class variable as a weapon class and achieve a similar effect. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

RE: [hlcoders] Anyone bypassed the max weapons limit before?
Another way is to overload one of the iuser variables to act as a second
pev->weapons. This involves some work to determine when the user gains
and loses weapons, as well as properly transmitting the iuser variable
with enough bits to handle the number of new weapons.
Eg..
Void CBasePlayer::AddWeaponByWeaponID( int weaponid )
{
if( weaponid <= 31 )
{
pev->weapons |= ( 1 The HEV suit is defined as the 31st weapon. As we know, the max weapon

The way to bypass the 32 weapon limit in HL is to combine all the
weapons into one entity. This way, the HL engine thinks that all the
weapons are the same weapon, but you specify that this one weapon look
and act differently depending on what type of weapon it is. It takes a
lot of special coding, not easy.

[hlcoders] HL2 Modding Resource @ HLFallout
Hi guys, I'm the webmaster of www.hlfallout.net (a HL2 fansite). Bahamut e-mailed me about possibly starting up a wiki-type site for Half-Life 2/Source development and to post my thoughts here. We're actually already in the process of getting a site like this going (as a sub-site of HL Fallout). The planned site will be more than a development wiki -- it'll encompass things like forums, development news etc. The emphasis will be on bringing mod developers and teams together (but still being an essential resource for individual mappers, coders etc). While it won't be set up as a standard wiki, there will be a system in place to allow the community to contribute to the knowledge base (whether through tutorials, simple how-to's or otherwise). We're definitely looking for some experienced people to help form the team (knowledge base contributions and experienced moderation is going to be essential). If you'd be interested in contributing to the project in any way, I'd be glad to hear from you.
