Re: [hlcoders] Re: MenuSelect
I am just saying that if you read through these threads people say how necessary in-game menus are; it is repeated several times, while Alfred just keeps repeating There is an existing Menu interface as part of the plugin API, you should use that. even though people _are_ stating what they need and what they want changed, e.g. I agree, if Valve could make the built-in more customizeable, it would be an acceptable replacement. The whole escape thing needs to go, and the menu needs to feel more smooth in game (like the ShowMenu ones did). (David Anderson, 5/20/2005) The provided menu feature is a whole different kind of unfriendly though. While the radio dialog may prevent a player from switching weapons, sending a radio command, or navigating a buy menu, having them completely pause their game is a lot worse. I think it'd be better if you made it a combination of the two. Have a normally unused key that triggers dialogs and have those dialogs appear in-game and have them easily answered with or without a mouse.

Either through events/bot controller interface/player info interface/new interface, I just want it :-P Jeremy Swigart wrote: As I understand it, there is not yet a method for server plugins to have access to weapon info for a bot. Someone else may be able to elaborate on this further. I noticed the IBotController class allows us to RemoveAllItems(), and SetActiveWeapon(), but how exactly are we suppose to get a list of items/weapons the bot has? Clearly a bot would need to have access to the weapons they have, and be able to query the current and max ammo count for the weapon. I understand that it can be tricky to give this sort of access since it is very mod specific as far as what items/weapons are available, and what properties there may be for the weapons, and that current/max ammo can take different meanings with the possibility of a weapon having alt-fire that uses a different ammo type. Can support for these such things be added to the plugin interface soon please? There are many bot authors waiting on this type of critical functionality in order to make a proper bot. Obviously there is some bot stuff in the SDK, but that relies on bots being implemented into the mod itself, and most of us bot authors would prefer an implementation through server plugin, like the HL1 bot implementations. It appears that CPlayerInfo::SetActiveWeapon actually creates the weapon on the bot if it exists. This seems fairly useful in itself, but it is still necessary to be able to get back a list of the bots current weapons Perhaps you can implement a GetCurrentWeapons() that take a reference to a CUtlVectorCBaseCombatWeapon* where the plugin can get a pointer to the bots current weapons. This of course means support compiled into the server plugins to actually make use of CBaseCombatWeapon and call functions on it and such. Also, could a generic interface be implemented that possibly fills in a list of key/value pairs or something so that various mod specific properties can be requested from the mod by the plugin? I hope some of this stuff can be addressed soon so us bot authors can get on making them.

I'm not precisely sure why the decision was made to suddenly push such a big change (now rolled-back temporarily) on everyone in the world, but this has wounded our confidence in the support Valve provides to their SDK community. Last night, plugin developers were inundated with yells for help as plugin menuing systems were obliterated in one fell swoop. Those same developers spent frantic hours trying to reverse engineer what caused the problem, all the while trying to communicate the issues to their own users. As far as I can tell, there was absolutely no forewarning. Nothing to indicate to the developer community what could be changed to fix the problem. In turn, there was no warning developers could provide to their users or even early code changes they could make to limit the impact. With some sort of notice, it would have been possible to do a great deal to help the situation. It really comes down to the fact that it's Valve's community of game players that suffer when this happens. If 30% of the servers out there run popular admin mods and those mods suddenly cease to function painfully, people get a much worse impression of steam updates. They, as you know, even come whining to you about why you broke their favorite 3rd party plugin. Now, we certainly aren't asking you to indefinitely support every little feature we use, but we absolutely *must* have forewarning before things changed in sensitive areas-- especially when things are deprecated. Without a heads-up from Valve, the developer community relationship is simply going to crumble into name-calling and constant bickering. None of us want to go that route, but we're going to need better support from Valve in order to avoid it. So, I'm asking nicely for the Valve teams to provide us additional forewarning before making large changes. Deprecating *anything* should be announced well beforehand so that plugin and mod developers can act accordingly. The unannounced update we saw last night simply cannot continue if you care anything about the developer community. Even if you feel something is a hack, you should at least work with us a little more rather than letting us fall onto our own swords. While I appreciate what you guys have done for the developer community, I still think there's more needed or we're all going to suffer. Please give us warning before you change things like this.

Re: [hlcoders] To Valve: Developer Forewarning
What are server plugins supposed to do then? I haven't found many practical uses for server plugins that use no hacks. When Valve created the interface for the server plugins, what were they expecting us to do with it? They had seen the millions of HL and CS plugins and essentially CS modifications (such as Warcraft) and decided to offer a built-in interface. If they knew what the server plugins were going to be for, what reason would they have for restricting the functionality of the server plugins so much.

Re: [hlcoders] MenuSelect
I agree wholeheartedly. Even though I'm against this whole update deprecating Menuselect code, I feel that it is a wholly different situation than something like adding access to money values, as the menuselect code is easily mod-independant. There would be no issues with such a proper menu from working in any of the Source mods, which is why I have a problem with the fact that a hack is even necessary for such a menu.

Usually the client's system clock is running faster (slower?) than normal, I can't remember which way the system clock needs to go to make the game engine think time is passing more slowly. Your client machine is running faster than normal so normal movement speed on your machine become high movement speed on the server (who's running on a different clock speed). If the client's game engine is ticking faster/slower than the server's game engine, the client will be able to move larger distances over the same amount of time. It's sort of like the reverse of Einstein's theory of relativity. Distances become smaller for people who are moving faster in time (or something like that). Surely this is where it should be caught by the engine. I don't mean the engine should ban/stop/warn the player, but that the engine should know that even though the cheater is saying this is tick 3000, the server is only at tick 2000, and thus the movement should not be processed until tick 3000. i.e even if the game plays faster on the cheaters computer, those extra ticks should not be processed inline by the server and should not be propigated to the other clients until it's the right time.

To clarify three points:
1. I'm not interested in specifically kicking a

X during an event where X is anything the
administrator wants. So if he wants to
kick a player that's his thing. I, personally, am
not trying to kick anyone

2. The crash doesn't just happen when plugin code

can happen when a player is kicked via some

console, etc. It just needs to happen at the around
the time an event calls
ServerExecute.
3. The example below is the smallest example I made
to reproduce the problem.
I'm no newbie to coding-- I've considered all sorts
of workarounds. Like
scheduling things independently via GameFrame,
avoiding the ServerExecute, etc.
Unfortunately, these alternatives are
substandard/messy and, really, I just need
someone at Valve to say this is a bug, we'll fix
it or ServerExecute during
an event is unsupported because of X and we'll
document it as such going
forward. If I've missed existing documentation to
this effect, I'm hoping
someone on the list can point me to it. (Educated

Instead of kicking the player there, try raising a

it on startframe

Subject: FireGameEvent, kickid, ServerExecute, crash
Hello,
I've found what seems, for me, to be a really
annoying bug in CSS (and
probably mods). The following problem happens
regardless of whether you use
IGameEventListener or IGameEventListener2.
My Windows server crashes 98% of the time with the
following code in a
listener/plugin:
void CEmptyServerPlugin::FireGameEvent( IGameEvent
* event )
{
const char * name = event-GetName();
if (FStrEq(name, player_changename))
{
if(tester_cvar.GetInt()==1)
{
Msg(Kicking ya.\n);
int userid = event-GetInt(userid);
char szMessage[1024];
sprintf(szMessage, kickid %d Go
away.\n, userid);
engine-ServerCommand(szMessage);
if (tester2_cvar.GetInt()==1)
{
// Crashes the server
engine-ServerExecute();
}
}
}
}
Basically, this silly code causes a player to get
kicked immediately when he
tries to change his name. He certainly does get
kicked, but the server crashes
immediately after.
This is just the sample reproduction code, but the
problem shows itself at a
much deeper point in my EventScripts plugin when
users are kicked in the
middle of an event. It can happen at times
regardless of whether the event
handler is doing the kicking (i.e. another plugin
or user could be kicking the
player while my event handlers are firing). I
believe it is a timing or
threading issue because if I place a Windows
Sleep(100) after the above
ServerExecute call, the crash usually doesn't
happen.
Avoiding ServerExecute() is not really an option
for me because I truly need
the command (not necessarily kick) executed
immediately (typically an exec of
a cfg file). Regardless, the documentation places
no caveats on when

Re: [hlcoders] Server Plugins refusing to load
Thanks. Here's my suspicious code:
if ( FStrEq( pcmd, !giveammo ) )
{
CBaseEntity * pBase=pEntity-GetUnknown()-GetBaseEntity();
if (pBase) {
CBaseCombatWeapon * pWeapon =
pBase-MyCombatCharacterPointer()-GetActiveWeapon();
if (pWeapon) {
pWeapon-m_iClip1 = 1000;
pWeapon-m_iClip2 = 1000;
}
}
return PLUGIN_STOP;
}
This is in SekkusuServerPlugin::ClientCommand( edict_t *pEntity )
If I comment out the code changing m_iClip1 and m_iClip2, it still won't
load, but when I comment out
CBaseCombatWeapon * pWeapon =
pBase-MyCombatCharacterPointer()-GetActiveWeapon();
It loads fine but I lose any functionality. The weird thing is that the code
_should_ never execute until I send the command !giveammo in the console,
and it compiles/builds fine it just won't load. I'm using the
Counter-Strike: Source most recent dedicated server DLL.

Re: [hlcoders] Server Plugins refusing to load
Yes you can, it works fine when I perform other actions with it, such as:
CBaseEntity * pBase=pEntity-GetUnknown()-GetBaseEntity();
if (pBase) {
CBaseCombatCharacter * pCombat = pBase-MyCombatCharacterPointer();
if (pCombat) {

This works fine, I just tested it, and it loads on the server. If you want

Re: [hlcoders] Assert error
My friend ran into the same problem compiling the debug build of HL2DM. I
think he found the non-existant weapon data names in the dev console in the
release build, but I can ask him later, not sure if he figured it out.
All else fails have it Msg() the names as it tries them then grab the one
right before the assertion and check it out.

Why are these included in the HL2DM SDK ?
Why aren't the weapon script files / models included?

[hlcoders] Permanent Ground Effects (HL2DM)
In HL2DM there is a problem in that when you hit the ground with the stun stick there is a spark there that goes on and off. The problem isn't that this is there, it's that it is permanent. After several hours the spark never disappeared, neither when it was in my POV nor when it was not visible at the time by the player. Another similar bug is that when you fire the last rocket from the RPG, the weapon switches and the laser dot on the ground stays where it was when the RPG switched away.
