Re: [hlcoders] Porting HL2 to Linux
And do you think that it will prevent the stolen source from being distributed ? What is done IS done. As ugly as it is, we cannot do anything to prevent people downloading it... And there's no point in trying to make a poster guilty because he downloaded the sources. It surely is tactless to post it on a VALVe-owned list, but even if we fight against sources downloaders on this list, it will have no impact, since only a few persons read posts there... (in comparison to the total number of people interested by HL2). What would a judgement bring to you ? Some people WILL have the sources on their computers... This *is* inevitable.

Re: [hlcoders] STEAM! just nine questions
For your debug question, here's a post of Alfred (from VALVe) 3 days ago : ## Alfred Reynolds wrote: To debug in steam you will need to do the following: 1) Install steam. 2) Run steam at least once and launch half-life and have it load. 3) Place your mod in the directory of the program you launched in step 2 (i.e c:\program files\steam\steamapps\email addr\Half-Life) 4) Copy the SteamApp.cfg file (created from the text below) into the programs directory (i.e c:\program files\steam\steamapps\email addr\Half-Life\SteamApp.cfg 5) Edit SteamApp.cfg to point to the correct username, password, install path and AppID. The AppID value should be 70 (meaning Half-Life). The version entry should be 0 for now, if we ever update the content for your chosen AppID you will need to increment this number (we will phase this field out soon). 6) Copy Steam.dll from the base steam directory into the program directory (i.e copy c:\program files\steam\steam.dll c:\program files\steam\steamapps\email addr\Half-Life\). 7) Launch hl.exe in the debugger like usual, just add -steam to the command line. If you forget -steam you will launch hl.exe using steam.exe and you will be unable to use the debugger (unless you attach to the process).

I would guess this, it steam everyting in the pak is PURE serevr side and thus forces clients to download each time, otherwise the files are left to the client.

I am doing some very unique sprite loads in my mod which checks to see if first.. the files are my mod's dir, then in valve's and when it fails the first, it gets the next. And it worked great until steam came out because my now console gettings flooded with error message which I'm actually expecting to get.

I'm not going to give you example, since I don't want to divulgate some quite secret informations, but an example of what I say is the new features of CS:CZ (shield, etc...) are included in CS 1.6 : new things made for other projects are put into HL1 to make it a la mode.

I didn't know you could do the 'detail texture' thing. That's cool.
But with scrolling textures and stuff, that's pretty much already
taken
care of, albeit a little tougher. Its done using individual images, so
it all depends on the framerate set by the graphics artist.
I would like to use things like rscripts, they seem to be a little
nicer
both on memory and performance compared to literally 'flipping' the
image like a flipbook.
I'm sure valve is pretty much scrapping the HL1 engine now that HL2 is
comin out, maybe they'll make some modernizations to it, but that's
most
likely going to be about it. HL2 supports shaders and all that neat
stuff, so if you DO want to use shaders and things, HL2 is gonna be
nice
for that. Hell, HL2 is gonna kickass to begin with ;)

Thats doest not matter.
99% Quake2 or Quake1 engines implement, can be theoricall exist for
Half-Life. Example: rscripts.
A rscript is a file that set/reset flags for textures, example:
waterfall
{
scroll 0 -4
}
With that this texture will scrolldown at a speed of 4.
Is this imposible or posible with half-life? Its this usefull?
Other example:
sand

detailtexture grain.pcx

wood
{
detailtexture fiber.pcx

This also work for models:
model/2hand.mdl

rscripts where supported for both, quake1 and quake2 based engines.

I have a member variable that holds the respawn time (gpGlobals-time + 5.0 for testing purposes), this is set when the object gets destroyed. There's another function, the think function, which is called every second to see if the object has been destroyed or not, if it was destroyed, it is SUPPOSED to respawn it. Our problem is that the think functions only get called once. I know this because I threw an alert in the top of the think function. When the object is spawned, the think function is set: SetThink(SDThink), then the time to think is placed below that: pev-nextthink = gpGlobals-time + 1.0. In the think function, this is continually added onto, to hopefully continue the think loop: in the think function: pev-nextthink = gpGlobals-time + 1.0.

So, how could I link statically to libstdc++ so that the .so contains the libstdc++[bla].so ? You cannot. The libstdc++[bla].so is just that, a DSO. You cannot link statically against a DSO. If you want to link statically against a library you need to use the static version of the library, the archive. You need to link against libstdc++[bla].a -- OK, I think I'll let the libstdc++ thing, and distribute libstdc++[Bla].so.2 with my mod...

With ldd, it gives me : 'libstdc++-libc6.0-1.so.2' = not found libm.so.6 = /lib/. #and the two other libs classic .so link to# So, I think I should just link the missing libs (statically ?) directly into my .so.

The server that helps me to make the tests run successfully other mods like cs or dod. Note: It sounds like you just don't have the C++ package installed correctly (did you install the runtime libraries when you installed the compiler, they may be separate packages depending on your Linux distribution).

Re: [hlcoders] velocity
Thx for your idea. I didn't take this method because I want to have a better control on the trajectory of the disc (to break it if it comes straightforward to the surface it reflects on, etc...). I got it to work anyway. I have set a think function in the Touch function. Then I re-set the right velocity to the projectile in the think function (just the frame after the touch function has been called) and it works. After reflection, I figured out the problem I ran through was not a bug. The fact that a projectile goes along the wall when it hits it is made for the hornetgun. The hornets have exactly this behaviour : when they encounter a wall, they move along it. It must be handled in the engine somewhere after the call of DispatchTouch for the projectile...

Re: [hlcoders] SMD Exporter for max 5
Hi, I just ran through a bug with modeling using 3DS Max 5 and I planned to post it there. To answer your question, the plugin which is distibuted with the HL SDK for the 4.x version of 3DS Max works with 3DS Max 5 (see below). With all the tests my modeler (and me) ran to the same conclusion : the geometry of the model is good exported to SMD (we haven't testes with skeletons since we compiled only world models). Nevertheless, textures informations are TOTALLY wrong... It looks as if the UVW mapping coordinates were totally wrong under HLMV, whereas it looks good under 3DS Max 5... We've made some tests on old .max which were made with previous versions of 3DS Max, and after opening them under 3DS Max 5 and exporting them with the same SMDExporter plugin, it worked !! So, to stick together the informations, the textures informations seem to be bad exported by the exporter under 3DS Max 5 when the model is started from scratch. But those textures informations are well exported by the same plugin with an old .max source file... So, the conclusion is, what is the difference(s) between the old and the new .max file... We don't know. A default hidden option must have changed with the 5th version of 3DS Max but we didn't figure out which one... Any help would be greatly appreciated on this...

Re: [hlcoders] VGUI Image Problem
Hi, The first thing I had to suggest is to delete/re-set all the images you need every time a thing needs to change... It's a quite brute method, but for testing, it could be a good thing (you can try to draw a pict in the middle of the screen to test). Anyway, your HUD looks pretty cool :) - Cortex : HL ALBATOR coder mapper - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ : 71548738 Caleb 'Ghoul' Delnay wrote: This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I've recently finished my VGUI HUD. The last thing I added in was a VGUI version of the ammo history (displays items you pick up on the right). This all works fine and dandy no problems.. at least not at first. The whole HUD uses a considerable amount of images, 1 for ammo (changed using setImage when you switch weapons), 12 for the history (changed again using setImage), 2 for the armor and health, and like 16 for each weapon. The HUD works perfectly without a flaw, at least for the first part. As the game progresses and I pick up more and more items, suddenly the wierdest happens. All the images that aren't completely static (ammo, history, weapons) vanish. They refuse to be drawn, while the armor and health images always stay perfectly fine. This completely boggles me and leads me to almost think a VGUI image can only be changed so many times with setImage before it causes choas? Perhaps some pictures will help. Here is the HUD normally, all working correctly. http://www.llamanade.net/ghoul/pictures/error/vgui_image_bug0.jpg Normally if I had recently picked something up it would appear on the right side like it should, but in when this picture was taken I had not picked anything up, so of course there is no image. Also, the browser for the weapons is not open, so nothing there. Now, the bugged picture. http://www.llamanade.net/ghoul/pictures/error/vgui_image_bug1.jpg So then, now as you can see everything that isn't static is gone. I had just picked up some trip mines and they of course didn't show up in the history. In the weapon selector no images are present, at the bottom the primary ammo isn't present. The secondary is because only 2 weapons use secondary ammo, and they are handled differently. The health and armor are there still of course because they aren't modified ever ingame. The only thing I can think of for such behavior is some wierd bug with changing images (setImage and setPos). Either that or I'm just completely missing something. :( If anyone has any ideas, please respond. :) Caleb 'Ghoul' Delnay Project Leader: Kill Or Be Killed http://www.llamanade.net/kobk/ ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

pVerts[v+1],
v == (face.nEdges-3) ? pVerts[v+2] : -pVerts[v+2]

Re: [hlcoders] assigning problem
You only have to do that (if I've good understood you problem ;) ) : CFuncTest* pTest = (CFuncTest*)CBaseEntity::Instance(pEdict);. Then, you can use pTest as a CFuncTest. - Cortex : HL Albator coder and mapper ( www.hlalbator.fr.st ) - email : [EMAIL PROTECTED]ICQ : 71548738 Vyacheslav Djura [EMAIL PROTECTED] nous disait : Hello coders! I need to print property of entity which is in front of us, but that property is a property of my class CFuncTest and before I print this value (m_iKind) I am checking if entity was func_test. Then I do the following: CFuncTest *pTest; pTest = CFuncTest::Instance(pEdict); //found entity is edict ALERT( at_console, Kind is %d\n, pTest-m_iKind); but that doesn't - it always returns zero (though value is set to 1 or other except zero). I guess that is because instance will always return CBaseEntity properties only. I tried pTest = (*CFuncTest)Instance(pEdict) but result is the same. In Delphi that could be done by pTest := (pEntity as CFuncTest), but how can I do that in C++???

Re: [hlcoders] More Drag and Drop vgui Probs
Why don't you simply set the button position according to the mouse position
? Something like :
// pseudo-code :)
GetMousePos(x, y);
SetBoutonPos(x, y);
Perhaps there's an evidence I didn't think about, but I think it'd be a good
solution for your problem... There may be a little jump of the button at
the beginning of the drag-process but nothing very crappy...

| Ok, ive basically got it working, but theres 2 problems.
| 1. The button lags behind my mouse, and ofter the cursor leaves the button
when you drag it. For now im just
| makig it stop dragging if this happens, but Id really like to make it
catch upto the mouse.
|
| 2. Everytime first time cursorMoved gets called after mouePressed, it sets
the buttons position to the middle of
| the screen
|
| here is my code:
|
| void CHandler_DragIt:: mousePressed(MouseCode code,Panel* panel)
| {

| m_bDragging = false;
| App::getInstance()-setMouseCapture(null);//???

[hlcoders] Questions about C#
Hello, This morning, I went to the library to buy a book about C++. The one I had before was to superficial. But, it isn't the subject of this message :D I saw much more books about C# than about C++ ! I was amazed ! I thought this Micro$oft new langage was just a try ! I have a few questions about this langage : - will it remplace the C++ ? And have I to learn the *depth* of C# rather than C++ (because C++ will be out of date soon ?) ? - is it more powerful than C++ ? I think it's a oriented object langage, but I wonder if it's really more powerful than C++ for applications which doesn't use Windows's interface (like DLL, HL SDK, etc...) - Can it be used with HL SDK ? I hope you'll understand what I mean and you have the answers to this :-) - Cortex : mapper coder www.hlalbator.fr.st ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

Hello,
I've downloaded the new Hammer 4.3 but there's 2 features I excepted I
haven't seen :(
The first is to be able to print the map draft... But I can do without
it :)
The second thing is a Shut down after succesful compilation
checkbox...
It'd be very useful.
Now comes the real code question :D I found a way to get around this
without a new version... The principle is to make a little Console
Application which could be run after the compil tools (in the Run
window)
and which shuts down the PC. But I don't know how to shut down a PC in

Thx for the tip (and thx to Botman too).
I've tried your 2 solutions. The one which is the more appopriate in my case is the
one from you, Commando (I like the EWX_POWEROFF flag :) ) !
The only trouble I ran into is that I don't know what should hToken be... I took a
look at MSDN... Now, I declare it as PHANDLE, but it must be an other thing to do like
: hToken = ...();.

Hello,
I've downloaded the new Hammer 4.3 but there's 2 features I excepted I
haven't seen :(
The first is to be able to print the map draft... But I can do without it :)
The second thing is a Shut down after succesful compilation checkbox...
It'd be very useful.
Now comes the real code question :D I found a way to get around this
without a new version... The principle is to make a little Console
Application which could be run after the compil tools (in the Run window)
and which shuts down the PC. But I don't know how to shut down a PC in

Re: [hlcoders] pEnt != NULL and driving me nuts
I had a similar problem whenI used SDK 2.0. I had the console spammed with
ALERT pEnt != NULL @ cbase.cpp l.159 (or something similar).
I didn't find the cause of this but I hadn't modify the gamerules... So,
perhaps the
messages you become don't come from the GameRules class but from an other
function.

Well thanks goes to you all but the solution cruise posted worked for me.
I am not doing anything bot related.
Even after using the solution posted by cruise everytime i try to call
UTIL_PlayerByIndex() or the changed one UTIL_CBasePlayerByIndex()
i still get the annoying ALERT pEnt != NULL. I find this very disturbing and
although the original problem is solved these statements still are flowing
around.
All other calls to UTIL_PlayerByIndex() through the sdk work without fail
giving no ALERTS spewing into the console. But anytime i try to do it from
my modified gamerules it gives one for every player not connected so if i
have a 8 player game it'll throw 7 at me each time a player is killed, i
connect or some other function gets called that invokes the RecountTeams()
function.
I'm starting to think maybe i did something a long time ago that was naughty
and never bothered with these alerts before.
As a last question could someone maybe please explain to me why
for(int i = 1; i gpGlobals-maxClients; i++)
{
CBasePlayer *plr = UTIL_PlayerByIndex(i);
if( plr plr-IsPlayer() plr-IsAlive() )
{
}
}
would generate an ALERT pEnt!=NULL console statement. the alert comes from
cbase.h or .cpp can't remember but its in a debug statement.
What actually does pEnt != NULL mean anyway?
thanks again

If you are dealing with bots, there are some special considerations
(you'll probably want to do some stuff in the disconnect callback), but
for reasons other than what this thread is concerned with. For your
problem, you shouldn't need to touch any of that. Here is an example
function that I use in Phineas Bot that counts all the valid, connected
clients:
int UTIL_ClientsInGame( void )
{
int iCount = 0;
for ( int iIndex = 1; iIndex = gpGlobals-maxClients; iIndex++ )
{
CBaseEntity * pPlayer = UTIL_PlayerByIndex( iIndex );
if ( pPlayer == NULL )
continue;
if ( FNullEnt( pPlayer-pev ) )
continue;
if ( FStrEq( STRING( pPlayer-pev-netname ), ) )
continue;
iCount++;
}
return iCount;

Sometimes I had similar problems and thanks to the Call Stack, I've found what pointer pointed to null :) - Cortex : mapper coder www.hlalbator.fr.st - Original Message - From: Ralph Hartley To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 04, 2002 4:28 PM Subject: Re: [hlcoders] HW.DLL crashing because of new weapon...

The game would run fine in normal, single player mode, but crashed in HW.DLL the first time you SAW another player. Thirdperson mode always crashed in exactly the same way. The problem tured out to be that the playermodel wasn't getting prechached on the client. I had a great deal of trouble finding it, because there was no indication I could find of what the null pointer was supposed to point to. In my case, the problem was a regresion - stuff that worked before suddenly quit. I wasn't using cvs at the time (of course I am now), so backing out all my recent changes was not easy, the problem turned out to be in a file I didn't remember editing at all. Of course, this happened just before a promised release :-( Ralph Hartley ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
