Re: Re: [hlcoders] creating a source bot plugin
I want to do it from first principles. So it was a pointer problem and that's sorted. Now that's working but after calling a method using that process, I get an access violation as soon as I try and call a method on the m_BotInterface attribute (set by calling botmanager->GetBotController( botEdict ) when the bot is created). Any ideas? I guess going through the vtable is messing something up?

Re: [hlcoders] creating a source bot plugin
Excuse the late reply - this is what I'm doing: // get this void **ppThis = *(void ***)&(this->pObject); // get the vtable as an array of void * void **ppVTable = *(void ***)(this->pObject); // the method we want is in the vtable void *pMethod = ppVTable[this->m_EyePositionOffset]; this->pObject is the CBaseEntity * - I'm thinking maybe I should do *this->pObject because maybe I'm just getting the address of the attribute?

[hlcoders] creating a source bot plugin
I've created a plugin and it's loading fine in Half-Life 2 Deathmatch - now I'm looking to use methods on a CBaseEntity from a bot edict_t * I've used https://wiki.alliedmods.net/Virtual_Offsets_(Source_Mods) as a guide but in my equivalent of void *func = vtable[m_Off_GetDataDescMap]; I get an access violation. I can see in the debugger that the vtable variable is an address in server.dll and I used https://asherkin.github.io/vtable/ to get the offset into the vtable. I'm running the game with the following command line parameters: -window -dev -insecure -allowdebug Am I doing something wrong?

Re: [hlcoders] compiling source sdk 2013
Well that got me a bit further - looks like _CRTNOALIAS was defined as nothing (based on https://doxygen.reactos.org/d7/d45/crtdefs_8h_source.html ). Also, pthreadmbcinfo is now struct __crt_multibyte_data*, pthreadlocinfo is now struct __crt_locale_data*, _locale_tstruct is now _locale_t and _crtDbgFlag and _crtBreakAlloc have both gone from being global flags to macros defining function pointer types.

Re: [hlcoders] compiling source sdk 2013
Possibly but I've compiled Source plugins without issue (I just didn't use the custom memory management for them). Anyway, looks like _CRTNOALIAS was probably defined in a previous version of Visual Studio but not longer is.

[hlcoders] compiling source sdk 2013

Most of the problems seem to be in memoverride.cpp - I get a few errors on line 122 of https://github.com/ValveSoftware/source-sdk-2013/blob/0d8dceea4310fde5706b3ce1c70609d72a38efdf/mp/src/public/tier0/memoverride.cpp - this declaration has no storage class or type specifier, syntax error: 'void' should be preceded by ';' and missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int By eye it all seems okay but it's like the compiler thinks there's a missing or stray semicolon somewhere. Anyone had any luck with this? It seems like memoverride.cpp has been the source of a few issues over the years but none of the older solutions I've looked at have helped. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

Re: [hlcoders] getting cvar value from source plugin
Thanks - I used g_pCVar->FindVar which returns a ConVar* but its m_pParent
attribute is NULL so I can't get its value.
I tried wrapping it in a ConVarRef and GetInt, GetFloat and GetString all
return 0. I can see that maxplayers is 16 though.

Re: [hlcoders] using ISteamUser::UserHasLicenseForApp
Eventually got this working on Linux too - the trick is to link to libsteam_api.so in Makefile.hl_cdll I linked with the one that comes with Half-Life (the one on the Steamworks website had a slightly different file size but I'm sure it would work too. Getting it working on a Mac is probably a similar process but I don't have a Mac to test on.

Re: [hlcoders] using ISteamUser::UserHasLicenseForApp
As a sort of follow-up, steam_api_c.dll contains a reference to SteamUser010. Is steam_api.dll what provides the ISteamUser interface, or is there another .dll that does?

Re: [hlcoders] using ISteamUser::UserHasLicenseForApp
Yeah okay. So ISteamUser has a GetSteamID method which I guess should work regardless of offline mode or sv_lan I guess it's just a matter of including the header files and linking to steam_api.lib Although Half-Life's steam_api.dll exposes SteamUser016 and there are only headers for SteamUser004 and SteamUser008 (from the Source SDK on Steam) and SteamUser018 (from the Source SDK on GitHub) so I guess it's not really doable from Half-Life with the currently available sources.

[hlcoders] using ISteamUser::UserHasLicenseForApp
For the record I'm working with GoldSource but am still interested in how to use this API for working out if a player owns a game. How does it work in Source? Is it meant to be called and used from client.dll only? Does client.dll always have the player's Steam ID regardless of sv_lan or offline mode or whatever? I had a look at the code in source-sdk-2013 on GitHub but could find no uses of it. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
Re: [hlcoders] triggering an entity from a plugin
Yeah okay, I was thinking that looping through each entity might end up being the way to go.

Re: [hlcoders] triggering an entity from a plugin
Hm, looks like this isn't exposed through the Orange Box code - it looks like the FindEntityByX functions that I can find operate on some sort of global entity list rather than through some exposed interface - is that right?

Re: [hlcoders] triggering an entity from a plugin
Okay I've had a quite look and I think I've figured out how it all works - my next question is how do I find an entity with a given classname or id or whatever? I've had a bit of a look through the server code but can't quite figure it and I've looked where I thought it might be based on my knowledge of GoldSource but still haven't found an equivalent to pfnFindEntityByString.

[hlcoders] triggering an entity from a plugin
Is it possible to trigger an entity from plugin code? If there is, how is it done? I'd look up how some Half-Life 2 game entity does it but I'm not overly familiar with Half-Life 2's entity set to know which entity to look at. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

It doesn't need to survive map changes or server restarts, just for the duration of the round. I considered the player index but thought that disconnects would be an issue.

Doing some investigation it looks like creating a cvar with the FCVAR_USERINFO flag and then using pfnInfoKeyValue on the server-side is the way to achieve this.

On Apr 16, 2015, at 9:45 AM, Jan Hartung jan.hart...@gmx.de wrote: Hi list, There is a crash in our game that’s bugging me for months now. It all comes down to the function Impact in game\client\fx_impact.cpp. When I leave it unaltered, sooner or later the game will crash but without a usable stack trace. Even with debug DLLs and VS hooked up to the game, the stack trace just shows ntdll.dll and neither our game code or Valve SDK code. However, when I just exit the function via return false directly, there is no crash at all – but also no wall impact decals, and that’s just weird. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? If not, the only thing I can do is move that return false down line by line, test the heck out of it and see where it actually crashes. Kinda tedious, but I’m out of ideas here.

You don't need a VPK to use the sounds, if you place them in the sounds folder, then into a respective sub directory they will work fine.

Since texture dimensions must both be a power of two, your VTFs will be 256x128 with a border to the right and bottom. That means that the full dimensions of the image will be 256 wide by 128 tall, but only a portion of that gets used. 152 x 86 to be specific. What you should do is create your chapter images as 152x86 images, and then either edit that image's canvas size to 256x128 (but don't scale/stretch the actual image), or take that 152x86 image and copy it into a new 256x128 image, and just make sure it is positioned in the top-left. The unused portion of the image should just be black.

$basetexture logo/hl2rslogo1
$nolod 1
$translucent 1
}
The path automatically detects the material folder, so just put the
folder
and the name of both the vmt and vtf file(no extension). Then in my
gamelogo.res in my resource folder, i put:

The dots in the path specify how many folders are before vmt and vtf,
but i
rather just do it like this:
2 dots specifies 2 folders/files like logo/hl2rslogo1, thats 1 folder, 1
file! If it was material/logo/hl2rslogo1 it would be 3 dots. Thats how i
fixed it, but i have one more thing. If your logo has an alpha
channel(the
gray and white squares which mean clear areas) you have to put
$translucent 1 in the vmt file!

There are facecrab ragdols, cinder blocks, wooden crates and box, wood rails, that should move and/or break whan hit with the crowbar, but they don't, only the proper hit mark appears on them. I can push, pick up and throw these things around but they won't move when hit with the crowbar. There is even an explosive barrel that used to go BOOM, now it will only dent when hit or shot at, but wont move or blow up. The crowbar is not all useless. There are a few headcrabs in this first area of the MOD I tested and those can be killed with it and than thier ragdoll body moved around by hitting. 4.

And the solution, for about a decade, was to delay their reconnection, simply by having the server send the client a disconnect, some waits, and a retry command. Worked just fine... But now that Steam Pipe is here, the retry command is illegal to send to clients. I thought of exec'ing a special cfg file on patched clients instead, but exec is also illegal command. (Which seems silly, given that the server can send any number of commands to make your game unplayable.

I thought that the map was kept in memory after in was loaded by design (I don't know for sure though).

[hlcoders] Initialising shadow depth textures
I've been working on shadow map LOD. I've got a system set up that creates a few large and lots of small render target textures (72 in all, about 100MB) and it looks good. My problem is that the first time a new RT comes into effect there is a very large hitch in rendering. There is no problem after that; it only happens on the first use. All of the RTs are initialised when the game loads. What else am I supposed to be doing? ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

[hlcoders] Shadow map scissoring
I've been developing omnidirectional shadowmap entities lately, and it works great except for r_flashlightscissor being no good when you have multiple projections.

And the vbsp version that comes with asw, turns every brush into func_detail, so there's no visibility optimization, we have to use the OB vbsp instead for fps, or 3rd person mods :( And I wonder if a mod can be incentive enough to download the complete ASW just to play the mod, why can't we just have a SDK base ASW ? Or even just merge the ASW SDK with the source sdk, so it may get a little more attention from the devs, and community. And thanks for the skeleton code, I'll check it out. But I'm pretty far along tweaking the asw_player back into a regular player, I'm still struggling a little with the anim system though.

Re: [hlcoders] weapon prediction issue
The function being called multiple times is normal, that's how
prediction testing works. Does the weapon actually end up in an
incorrect state after firing multiple times? If not, this is likely to
be a problem with the viewmodel entity rather than the weapon. Are you
using predicted_viewmodel?

Re: [hlcoders] EmitSound being cut off, and forcing the player to spectate an entity
CItem::Respawn() calls SetTouch(NULL), so it can't be a case of re-triggering unless you've bypassed that code entirely. The only thing I can think of is that RollerBall.RewardTokenPickup has a very low attenuation value in your soundscript. Once you go down very low (around 60dB) the engine starts cocking up volume falloff, so the sound stopping instantly isn't implausible.

I set the LINK_ENTITY_TO_CLASS( hammer_ent, C_ArenaEntity ) and I inherit C_BaseEntity. My first general impression was when that entity is found by the client on the map, then it establishes a class and because I have the client/server data tables it'll share the information (I've already created the network entities for such things.) When debugging the code however, as soon as the game starts it goes directly to the client datatable and never reaches during loading of the map, like the server side does. Maybe I'm just over analyzing it or making it a bit more difficult then it actually is, but I can't really seem to wrap my head around it. Any help at all would be great.

From the article titled Half-Life's Code Basis by Chris Bokitch, originially posted on the VERC: What came first, the chicken or the egg? What is Half-Life built on, Quake 1 or Quake 2? These questions pop up pretty frequently, and neither seems to have an accepted answer. In an effort to extinguish the argument, I've asked the people who know best. About Half-Life, that is. We're not touching the question about the chicken. Ken Birdwell explains it like this: It is fundamentally just a heavily modified Quake 1 engine. There are about 50 lines of code from the Quake 2 engine, mostly bugs fixes to hard problems that Carmack found and fixed before we ran into them. At its core, it's a Quake 1 engine. You can tell this by comparing Half-life's map compiling tools with those shipped with Quake1. You'll find very minor differences -- none of them are fundamental. The core rendering is architecturally identical to Quake1, the only significant change is removing the fixed palette, making map lighting RGB instead of 8 bit, and converting software rendering to be 16 bit color instead of 8 bit color, which was pretty easy and only required minor code changes. Our skeletal animation system is new, though it was heavily influenced by the existing model rendering code, as were a lot of our updated particle effects, though less so with our beam system. Decals are totally new, our audio system has some major additions to what already existed, and at ship time our networking was almost totally Quake1 / QuakeWorld networking but about a year later Yahn rewrote most of all of it to be very different in design. The most highly changed sections are the game logic; ours being written in C++ and Quake's being in written interpreted Quake C. Our AI system is very /very/ different from anything in Quake, and there's a lot of other significant architectural changes in the whole server and client implementations, though if you look hard enough you can find a few remnants of some nearly unmodified Quake1 era entities buried in places. Jay Stelly adds, We also took PAS from QW and/or Q2 and a couple of other minor routines I can remember (no more than 100-200 lines of code there). There was some feature overlap (as Ken mentions) like game code DLLs and colored lighting, but we developed our own solutions to those independent of Q2. So there it is. This should put some arguments to rest. Half-Life is based on Quake 1, although it has a very small amount of Quake 2 code. Yahn notes that we did use some of the winsock functions from Q2, that's about it. Probably more than 50 lines, but nothing too interesting.

I have no code in this effect related to weapons so far, and here's something even stranger - when I open up the SMG's script file and replace its models with different ones (e.g. the AR2's models), the problem goes away. Furthermore, if I only replace the SMG's worldmodel and leave it using its default viewmodel, the player keeps flickering between white and the real rendercolor with the SMG out.

A simple example of what I would like to do: I setup a PLC or to read/write ASCII data from its serial port hooked to a PC. Two simple ASCII commands tell the PLC to either activate an output (or sequence) or return a data value. This would allow software to poll the device and when a specific condition is met, a command sent to activate the output or sequence. PLC stands for Programmable Logic Controller, basically an embedded computer with modular or fixed I/O (Digital, analog etc.) for automating any kind of system. I would like to create a virtual control panel HL2 mod. The user would spawn in a simple map consisting of a room with a virtual control panel that displays a data value from the PLC in the form of a dynamically updating texture and present the player with a switch to press that send an ASCII command via the COM port to the PLC.

These projects (VS 2005/2008/2010) will compile into working client and server libraries using only Valve's base classes, then leave you to add whatever functionality you want on top. I hope they prove useful to you!

Re: [hlcoders] Source SDK Skeleton
2007. I might attempt AS one day, but given the difficulties Tony has had I may wait until he releases the ported Template mod.

[hlcoders] Shared GCFs can be downloaded even if the game is not owned
I've been experimenting with the filesystem today, and I decided to see what would happen if I tried to mount L4D2, which I don't own. Would it error? Would it crash? No. It made Steam download the map I requested. I've now also downloaded one of the VPKs. Only left 4 dead 2 common.ncf appears to be accessible, which is what dedicated servers get and doesn't contain the client library. That gives me some hope that this isn't an oversight and is in fact something intentional that mods can rely on...is that the case? ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
Re: [hlcoders] Inventory System
There is no built-in inventory system. You'll need to be more specific with the problems you're having. On 31/10/2010 1:52, Anthoni Caldwell wrote: I am trying to code an inventory system into the source engine. The inventory in itself is fairly easy I just have a class to manage, and access the inventory items. The items are structures that store the name, description, type, and a function pointer where the use function will be stored. Then the available items are stored into an array, and when the player picks up an item, it finds the registered item in the array, and adds it to the inventory associated with the player. Yet I have had some problems melding this with the Source Engine. Perhaps because I code in more of a Quake style, and I am sticking to that in this. Is there a better way of doing this in Source, perhaps a class I can derive from?
