Hey all, very simple question that I can't seem to find the answer to - how
to tell if a point is outside the game world or not?
I've added an ability allowing players to teleport a short distance,
including through walls, to our HL2MP OB mod. This is great, and the code
successfully avoids
Hmm it is helpful in a way but could you add me on steam friends
(arcangel845) or msn ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) please?

Andrew,
You could make a custom invisible (solid) tool brush (like
teleport_clip) or see if you can test against player_clip perhaps that
you would use in all your maps both in areas outside (or just in outside
walls) and inside where you don't want players going.
Players attempting to go
You only need to do 2 traces on one axis. Since a map is supposed to be
completely enclosed. Aslong as the trace hits a brush in both directions,
then they are inside the world. You could also assume that aslong as a
player is not nocliping and their Z velocity is under like 1000 they are in
the
Does UTIL_PointContents return anything useful?

Every saved demo uses specific version ID that
Pointcontents should return CONTENTS_SOLID if you're in the void.
Part of the map compilation process is to 'fill the outside' with
contents_solid.
So a simple

Wouldn't you also need the appropriate client/server libraries that match up
with the version you recorded the demos in?

I dunno. I'm guessing it could be even simpler than that.
For the demo's you've only got to really record what things looked and
sounded like. So things like models, angles, positions, gestures. You
don't need to know all the internal data like reload timings etc..
with the exceptions of data for
Yeah, exactly. HUD wise all it's gotta do is poll for changes (Likewise
for other networkvars). Find some way of storing all their values in a
structure that wont depend on game version.

Yes, every new update to the demo system would mean including a new
DLL as well as keeping all of the previous DLL versions in existence.
It is a small price to pay to keep all of the
Demoversion(insertversionshere).dll on the hard drive. Hard drives are
getting half as expensive every 2 years. I
I don't think you can use traces because the map enclosure isn't
necessarily a convex shape. So you could imagine a point where a trace
in any direction would hit brushes which is still not a valid position
for the player.
