[hlcoders] New Query Protocol?
Hello On steampowered news (Jan 6) there was mention of a new query protocol: Enabled support for new query protocol (fixes HLTV server not appearing in the server browser) I can't find any details about that.. Is there any information on this? Is it only a protocol for HLTV? Does it do new things like poll a server and collect more player information apart from points and server time?

A plugin should have all of the capabilities of the server module. It makes the game more fun, more diverse, and all around stronger. I just can't imagine any reason to close off things from plugin authors besides jealously guarding your code (or hiding your crappy code :P). Any mod that disables useful plugins from interacting with it frankly deserves to die at the hands of its incredibly short-sighted developers. Regarding your example: plugin authors wouldn't modify player health... That's a really, really bad example, but then again, it's a really bad point as well. Mod-specific plugin and libraries for plugins have always worked, and always will as well. And why would it require the mod author to impliment things he never uses? Well gee, I don't recall plugins shipping with HL2. Why did they impliment the plugin interface if they never use it? Hell, they should have just built the client, server, engine, and all supporting libraries into one monolithic binary! I mean they have everything available to them, why should they give other people capability to build on their work with puny mods, as the peasants call them.

[hlcoders] PlayerInfoManager Interface?
The playerinfomanager does not always seem to be working for me:
I have a line where it keeps updating my bot team index, in case the bot
switched teams. This seems to work:
// When we already joined the game for one second, only then do this
if ((pBot-fJoinTime 0.0f) (pBot-fJoinTime + 1
engine-Time()))
{
IPlayerInfo* pInfo =
playerinfomanager-GetPlayerInfo(pBot-edict);
// Set team (in case the game dll changed it for us)
pBot-iTeam = pInfo-GetTeamIndex();
}
But, when i try to loop through the available players, i seem to get an
error at in this code:
for ( int i = 1; i = 32; i++ ) // EVIL: shouldn't just assume
maxplayers is 32!!!
{
edict_t *pPlayerEdict = INDEXENT( i );
if (pPlayerEdict) // valid edict
{
if (pPlayerEdict == pBot-edict)
continue; // do not check self
if ( !pPlayerEdict-IsFree() ) // valid client
// ok, this COULD be our enemy, so check this team
status
IPlayerInfo* pInfo =

if (pInfo == NULL || !pInfo)
continue;
// Set team (in case the game dll changed it for us)
int iTeam = pInfo-GetTeamIndex(); *CRASH * * CRASH

I know i can probably even change teams when watching a proper event ,
on the FireEvent stuff. But thats not my question,
1) Why does the playerinfomanager work not all the time with the same
edict adress(es)?
2) Why does the playerinfomanager seem to return a proper pInfo (as it
bypasses the NULL and ! Condition) and then
crashes on pInfo-GetTeamIndex() , while it DOES work that way

RE: [hlcoders] PlayerInfoManager Interface?
PS. Could it be that the PlayerInfoManager can only handle a specific
amount of calls per frame? I noticed, when i did this:
if (pInfo == NULL || !pInfo)
return; // get out, this wont work :S
(so it would stop trying immidiatly after one 'try')
With one bot worked fine. With 2 worked fine ( 2 battled each other ).
But once i added more, it would crash. Dead bots
Do not think btw... So they do not call this function. My guess is
though that because this bot is dead , or 'joining'
The playerinfomanager is 'too soon' with gathering (invalid) info and
makes a crash. But then again, it does not make sense
On games that have bots already in th egame and then crashes. :S

Are you running a 32 player server? If not, (say you're running an 8
player server), entities 9-32 will NOT be players, but you are
treating them as they are by trying to get the player info on them.
You should add a check to make sure entity X is actually a player (not
the EVIL part in the comment from my original code!!!)

[hlcoders] Player animation ?
I'm trying to get player animation working with some non-CS models.
Specifically, I'd like to get animations working with the models used
in HL2DM. I used model viewer to load up the combine models from HL2DM
and some of the resistance models from HL2DM.
Not only are their animations totally different from CS, they're
different from each other. The combine models have different
animations than the resistance models. I've been working on converting
the animation names in sdk_playeranimstate.cpp to call the animations
in combine_solder.mdl, which I think is the one used in HL2DM.
I've run into some problems with this though.
First off, there's doesn't seem to be any walking or running shooting
animations. There are animations like ShootSGs, ShootSGc, ShootSMG1s,
ShootSMG1c, etc but there's no walk_upper_mp5 or run_upper_mp5 like in
the CS models. There doesn't seem to be any animation to be running
and shooting at the same time.
Second, the animations seem to only play the first frame and then
stop. For example, I changed CalcFireLayerSequence to look like this:
int CSDKPlayerAnimState::CalcFireLayerSequence(PlayerAnimEvent_t event)
{
// Figure out the weapon suffix.
CWeaponSDKBase *pWeapon = m_pHelpers-SDKAnim_GetActiveWeapon();
if ( !pWeapon )
return 0;
const char *pSuffix = GetWeaponSuffix();
if ( !pSuffix )
return 0;
// Don't rely on their weapon here because the player has usually
switched to their
// pistol or rifle by the time the PLAYERANIMEVENT_THROW_GRENADE
message gets to the client.
if ( event == PLAYERANIMEVENT_THROW_GRENADE )
{
pSuffix = Gren;
}
switch ( GetCurrentMainSequenceActivity() )
{
case ACT_PLAYER_RUN_FIRE:
case ACT_RUN:
//return CalcSequenceIndex( %s%s,
DEFAULT_FIRE_RUN_NAME, pSuffix );
return CalcSequenceIndex( ShootSMG1s );
//FIXME: totally wrong
case ACT_PLAYER_WALK_FIRE:
case ACT_WALK:
//return CalcSequenceIndex( %s%s,
DEFAULT_FIRE_WALK_NAME, pSuffix );
return CalcSequenceIndex( ShootSMG1s );
//FIXME: totally wrong
case ACT_PLAYER_CROUCH_FIRE:
case ACT_CROUCHIDLE:
return CalcSequenceIndex( %s%s,
DEFAULT_FIRE_CROUCH_NAME, pSuffix );
case ACT_PLAYER_CROUCH_WALK_FIRE:
case ACT_RUN_CROUCH:
return CalcSequenceIndex( %s%s,
DEFAULT_FIRE_CROUCH_WALK_NAME, pSuffix );
default:
case ACT_PLAYER_IDLE_FIRE:
//return CalcSequenceIndex( %s%s,
DEFAULT_FIRE_IDLE_NAME, pSuffix );
return CalcSequenceIndex( ShootSMG1s );
//FIXME: pick the right weapon
}
}
I've set my player model to be combine_soldier. When I spawn in third
person and watch my player model, if I run along start shooting it
looks like it plays only the first frame or two and then immediately
goes back to idle/jittering. If I'm running, it looks even worse since
each time I fire it looks like it restarts the ShootSMG1animation but
there's no blending between them so it looks all jittery. Has anyone
had any luck getting this to work?

[hlcoders] NetworkIDValidated, Is it useless, or is it just me?
Title pretty much says all; I can't seem to do anything useful with this function. You can't scan the server for players by name because the client I'd be looking for isn't in the game yet, so the playerinfomanager for them would be NULL, and since that's apparently the only way to get a players name, this function will do a great job of doing nothing, if I store the name from when they connect (in ClientConnect), there is always a chance the name can change by the time they authenticate. Not only that, looping against all players in the server and looking for the name sure is a lot slower and CPU intensive than just simply passing an edict_t instead of the name of the player. Could someone at valve change the NetworkIDValidated function to pass an edict or an entindex of the player that has validated, rather than the name? I sure hope the engine code isn't as bad as the servers plugin sdk, I have to admit server plugins really got their balls cut off with source, from hundreds of function hooks, to three, and one is completely useless. Just my thoughts. ;) ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

RE: [hlcoders] Player animation ?
HL2DM player animation uses a different system than is in the sdk.
Basically you have a list of base sequences, preblended with 9-way aims
and 9-way runs - those are the aim animations and are called in game
code via activities ( why you see different animation names in combine
vs rebels ).
Shooting is done by adding the fire animation as a gesture over top of
the base sequence.
For Dod we're doing a hybird, with the activities on base sequence and
fire/reload/hand signal gestures over top, but non-networked like the
sdk does it to reduce net traffic.
I would recommend moving at least to using activities for your player
animations so avoid all the nasty string construction and comparing.
As far as your animations only playing the first and last frame, this
function doesn't appear to be causing that. I would check with a a
different model/sequence to see if it's a problem in your model.

I've set my player model to be combine_soldier. When I spawn in third
person and watch my player model, if I run along start shooting it looks
like it plays only the first frame or two and then immediately goes back
to idle/jittering. If I'm running, it looks even worse since each time I
fire it looks like it restarts the ShootSMG1animation but there's no
blending between them so it looks all jittery. Has anyone had any luck
getting this to work?

[hlcoders] 'Fake' client command possible? - info?
Probably something very tricky, but here goes: I know that sending of a clientcommand with engine-ClientCommand() does not work. In HL1 there was a possibility to hook up: Cmd_Args (void); Cmd_Argv (int argc); Cmd_Argc (void); For the moment i only found that i could retrieve the info from the engine interface , but i'd rather like to 'catch' it, and do my own thing so i can override it for bots (hence 'fake client command'). Any comments on this? I am still digging, i thought i found something in the base class somewhere with this , but i'd like to keep it as neat as possible :) === Stefan Hendriks FunDynamic RealBot http://www.fundynamic.nl http://realbot.bots-united.com http://www.bots-united.com === ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
RE: [hlcoders] BUG:: Eyeangle pitch not working on client
That's the hook for automatically interpolating the eye angles. If you
don't call .NoteChanged on the m_iv version of a variable whenever the
value changes, then you won't have an interpolation history and the
value will probably get set to 0.0f. It's probably a bug in the SDK,
but if you remove interpolation, then the eye angle changes could be
jittery.
I would look at other m_iv variables and how they are handled throughout
the client .dll (C_BaseEntity has most of the interesting functionality,
as does InterpolatedVar.h)

Subject: [hlcoders] BUG:: Eyeangle pitch not working on client
I discovered a problem with the Eyeangles on the clientside. It seems
that the pitch angle is getting forced to zero on the clientside. I
traced the problem to the C_SDKPlayer declaration shown below:
C_SDKPlayer::C_SDKPlayer() :
m_iv_angEyeAngles( C_SDKPlayer::m_iv_angEyeAngles ) {
m_PlayerAnimState = CreatePlayerAnimState( this, this, LEGANIM_9WAY,
true );
m_angEyeAngles.Init();
AddVar( m_angEyeAngles, m_iv_angEyeAngles, LATCH_SIMULATION_VAR );
}
In particular, it seems that the call to AddVar(...) is triggering
something that is resetting the pitch angles to 0. If you comment that
line out, the pitch angle functions as it should. My question is what
does AddVar() do? Can I leave it commented out?
A second question is with the linux dedicated server. I have been trying
to get Steam to connect and install a basic dedicated server on my linux
system. But all I ever get is:
./steam -update
Checking *bootstrapper* version ...
Connection *Reset*
What's going on here (it's not the firewall)? ($#$[EMAIL PROTECTED] Steam)

RE: [hlcoders] Server Plugins - Interfaces?
That's the command I use, its crap.
Try putting a message that says You have been banned from this server, it
might only show You have been been.. or so.
It wont display too long of a message, even when \n's are used.
I wish they would take out the Kicked by console: Reason: text, since it
would be nice to just allow the server plugin to have more room, but once
again I'm dreaming.
So I did it my own way and I'm quite happy with it :).

It's probably not as nice as your richt textbox, but you could issue this

RE: [hlcoders] Player animation ? Interesant Discussion
This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ]
This is interesant. Can we use the HL2DM models in the SDK?. What is the
correct way to do?, cloning the HL2DM weapons to the SDK and using the
animation layer sequences of the HL2DM??.
Looking in the Model viewer, a lot of models have the weapon activity
sequences, like GMAN. Can we use this model with the SDK, for example?.
This code is the correct way to do the animation sequences??. Can you post an
example using a HL2 model or a HL2DM model ??. Thanks.

Actually, it looks like he's not loading the HL2DM models but the HL2
ones. In HL2DM Humans and Combine share the same animations.
Make sure you are loading from the right *_animations.mdl animation
files. Both set of models should have the same animation and activity
names.
Other than that Major Boone speaks the truth. Using the Weapon's
activity translation table is the cleanest way to handle different
animations per weapon.

HL2DM player animation uses a different system than is in the sdk.
Basically you have a list of base sequences, preblended with 9-way aims
and 9-way runs - those are the aim animations and are called in game
code via activities ( why you see different animation names in combine
vs rebels ).
Shooting is done by adding the fire animation as a gesture over top of
the base sequence.
For Dod we're doing a hybird, with the activities on base sequence and
fire/reload/hand signal gestures over top, but non-networked like the
sdk does it to reduce net traffic.
I would recommend moving at least to using activities for your player
animations so avoid all the nasty string construction and comparing.
As far as your animations only playing the first and last frame, this
function doesn't appear to be causing that. I would check with a a
different model/sequence to see if it's a problem in your model.

Subject: [hlcoders] Player animation ?
I'm trying to get player animation working with some non-CS models.
Specifically, I'd like to get animations working with the models used in
HL2DM. I used model viewer to load up the combine models from HL2DM and
some of the resistance models from HL2DM.
Not only are their animations totally different from CS, they're
different from each other. The combine models have different animations
than the resistance models. I've been working on converting the
animation names in sdk_playeranimstate.cpp to call the animations in
combine_solder.mdl, which I think is the one used in HL2DM.
I've run into some problems with this though.
First off, there's doesn't seem to be any walking or running shooting
animations. There are animations like ShootSGs, ShootSGc, ShootSMG1s,
ShootSMG1c, etc but there's no walk_upper_mp5 or run_upper_mp5 like in
the CS models. There doesn't seem to be any animation to be running and
shooting at the same time.
Second, the animations seem to only play the first frame and then stop.
For example, I changed CalcFireLayerSequence to look like this:
int CSDKPlayerAnimState::CalcFireLayerSequence(PlayerAnimEvent_t event)
{
// Figure out the weapon suffix.
CWeaponSDKBase *pWeapon = m_pHelpers-SDKAnim_GetActiveWeapon();
if ( !pWeapon )
return 0;
const char *pSuffix = GetWeaponSuffix();
if ( !pSuffix )
return 0;
// Don't rely on their weapon here because the player has
usually switched to their
// pistol or rifle by the time the PLAYERANIMEVENT_THROW_GRENADE
message gets to the client.
if ( event == PLAYERANIMEVENT_THROW_GRENADE )
{
pSuffix = Gren;
}
switch ( GetCurrentMainSequenceActivity() )
{
case ACT_PLAYER_RUN_FIRE:
case ACT_RUN:
//return CalcSequenceIndex( %s%s,
DEFAULT_FIRE_RUN_NAME, pSuffix );
return CalcSequenceIndex( ShootSMG1s );
//FIXME: totally wrong
case ACT_PLAYER_WALK_FIRE:
case ACT_WALK:
//return CalcSequenceIndex( %s%s,
DEFAULT_FIRE_WALK_NAME, pSuffix );
return CalcSequenceIndex( ShootSMG1s );
//FIXME: totally wrong
case ACT_PLAYER_CROUCH_FIRE:
case ACT_CROUCHIDLE:
return CalcSequenceIndex( %s%s,

case ACT_PLAYER_CROUCH_WALK_FIRE:
case ACT_RUN_CROUCH:
return CalcSequenceIndex( %s%s,
DEFAULT_FIRE_CROUCH_WALK_NAME, pSuffix );
default:
case ACT_PLAYER_IDLE_FIRE:
//return CalcSequenceIndex( %s%s,
DEFAULT_FIRE_IDLE_NAME, pSuffix );
return CalcSequenceIndex( ShootSMG1s );
