Re: [hlcoders] Getting back to my MOD after 2 years
Great thanks!You need the MOD source folder and the MOD folder from under Steam, right? But which version should I pack and upload somewhere for you?- the 2 year old version that compiled back then correctly,- or the current version that now finally runs with the new SDK (maps and all content is untouched but maps do change slightly when resaved with current tools.) Only some config texts are new in this one so it works with the new SDK.

Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Getting back to my MOD after 2 years
Hi again,
The FGD determines what entities are available (i.e. what shows up in the
entity list, what keyvalues they have) and so on. Actually loading content,
like models and textures, is done via mounting the other game's .vpks as search
paths in the gameinfo. Have you mounted the EP2 vpks and so on? You will need
something like this in the gameinfo (I think you already had them, but
commented them out):
game
|all_source_engine_paths|ep2/ep2_english.vpkgame
|all_source_engine_paths|ep2/ep2_pak.vpkgame
|all_source_engine_paths|episodic/ep1_english.vpkgame
|all_source_engine_paths|episodic/ep1_pak.vpk
You may also want to mount the other game's folders, as well as the vpks. The
folders contain misc files that may be useful to your mod, such a font files
and localisation files.
game|all_source_engine_paths|ep2game
|all_source_engine_paths|episodic
Be aware that the order you mount files matters, with I believe the higher up
mounts having priority over the lower ones. This means that files such as the
ep2 models with the same name as ep1 ones will load the ep2 variant. As some of
Valve's model animations were changed in EP2, compared to say, HL2, you might
find missing animations if EP2 removed animations that existed in HL2 depending
on what you are trying to accomplish. Files in the gameinfo folder (i.e.
hangover's mod folder) will have priority over all external content as long as
the |gameinfo_path| remains above all other mounts.
Hope this helps!
Peter

Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Getting back to my MOD after 2 years
Hi,
Unless I've misread the problem, you said earlier you are starting Hammer with
the Half-Life 2: Episode 2 configuration, that seems to be what the problem is.
If you are making your own mod (with content in it's own folder in the
SourceMods folder), you will need to create a custom Hammer configuration for
it. You can do this within hammer, but the easiest way is to go to the SDK Base
2013/bin folder of your choice, and open GameConfig.txt . Make a copy of one of
the existing configs, and paste it within the file, and edit the paths and
names to reference your mod. Launch hammer with your game
Re: [hlcoders] Getting back to my MOD after 2 years
If you are missing content in hammer or in game it means the content isn't
being mounted properly in gameinfo.txt

Hi,
Unless I've misread the problem, you said earlier you are starting Hammer
with the Half-Life 2: Episode 2 configuration, that seems to be what the
problem is. If you are making your own mod (with content in it's own folder
in the SourceMods folder), you will need to create a custom Hammer
configuration for it. You can do this within hammer, but the easiest way is
to go to the SDK Base 2013/bin folder of your choice, and open
GameConfig.txt . Make a copy of one of the existing configs, and paste it
within the file, and edit the paths and names to reference your mod.
Launch hammer with your game select and that should fix your missing
content problem.
Hope this helps, apologies if I've gotten your problem wrong. Best regards.

Re: [hlcoders] Getting back to my MOD after 2 years
Hi again,
The FGD determines what entities are available (i.e. what shows up in the
entity list, what keyvalues they have) and so on. Actually loading content,
like models and textures, is done via mounting the other game's .vpks as search
paths in the gameinfo. Have you mounted the EP2 vpks and so on? You will need
something like this in the gameinfo (I think you already had them, but
commented them out):
game
|all_source_engine_paths|ep2/ep2_english.vpkgame
|all_source_engine_paths|ep2/ep2_pak.vpkgame
|all_source_engine_paths|episodic/ep1_english.vpkgame
|all_source_engine_paths|episodic/ep1_pak.vpk
You may also want to mount the other game's folders, as well as the vpks. The
folders contain misc files that may be useful to your mod, such a font files
and localisation files.
game|all_source_engine_paths|ep2game
|all_source_engine_paths|episodic
Be aware that the order you mount files matters, with I believe the higher up
mounts having priority over the lower ones. This means that files such as the
ep2 models with the same name as ep1 ones will load the ep2 variant. As some of
Valve's model animations were changed in EP2, compared to say, HL2, you might
find missing animations if EP2 removed animations that existed in HL2 depending
on what you are trying to accomplish. Files in the gameinfo folder (i.e.
hangover's mod folder) will have priority over all external content as long as
the |gameinfo_path| remains above all other mounts.
Hope this helps!
Peter

Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Getting back to my MOD after 2 years
Hi,
Great info, thanks!Some progress was made.
So I added this to the GameConfig.txt Hangover {
GameDir C:\Program Files
(x86)\Steam\steamapps\sourcemods\HangoverHammer
{ GameData0
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Source SDK Base 2013
Singleplayer\bin\halflife2.fgd TextureFormat
5 MapFormat 4
DefaultTextureScale 0.25
DefaultLightmapScale 16GameExe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Source SDK Base 2013
Singleplayer\hl2.exe DefaultSolidEntity
func_detail DefaultPointEntity
info_player_start BSP C:\Program
Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Source SDK Base 2013
Singleplayer\bin\vbsp.exe Vis C:\Program
Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Source SDK Base 2013
Singleplayer\bin\vvis.exe Light C:\Program
Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Source SDK Base 2013
Singleplayer\bin\vrad.exe GameExeDir
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Source SDK Base 2013
Singleplayer MapDir
C:\Hangover\mapsrcBSPDir
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\sourcemods\Hangover\maps
CordonTexture tools\toolsskybox
MaterialExcludeCount 0 }
}
which is in:C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Source SDK Base 2013
Singleplayer\bin
Then if I run the hammer.exe there, now it does not ask anymore which config to
start with but in the options it is set to Hangover so I guess it uses that.Now
I can finally see my custom Hangover models in the model browser.It looks like
the ones that have custom textures are textured but the ones that use textures
from other Half Life products are just displayed with the black-pink checker
texture.Unfortunately now every other model (which are not Hangover custom
stuff but probably from EP1, 2, Orange Box, like trees, logs, rocks...) are
still missing and displayed as ERROR texts.
I tried adding some more Game Data Files directory paths in the options to the
Hangover config but it did not change anything.It adds them to the
GameConfig.txt like so: GameData0
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life 2
Deathmatch\bin\base.fgd GameData1
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life 2

Re: [hlcoders] Getting back to my MOD after 2 years
Thanks. Using your dll-s some progress has been made:Now I can start the MOD but there are a bunch of props missing already from the menu background. See image:http://www.mediafire.com/view/pz8y1j13qluz8rn/hangover_error1.png Then when I try to start the game it crashes. So I went on to start Hammer to take a look there, but the Hammer.bat underC:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Source SDK Base 2013 Singleplayer\binjust says: \Steam\steamapps\SourceMods\hangover was unexpected at this time.So I start the hammer.exe and load a scene, then there again a bunch of objects are missing. Some of them are my own models, some are ferns, etc. I don't remember from which episode.http://www.mediafire.com/view/3tvhotpku25gtjq/hangover_error2.png ARGH :-) Please help, what should I try, or post here so somebody can get an idea what could be wrong? I would hate to give up so close to finally releasing the MOD I worked on so much and also to let down the people on on ModDB watching it.Before I put the MOD to sleep 2 years ago, everything was error free, working perfectly and now with this new SDK I can't get it to work again.

Finally I have them, YAY! http://www.moddb.com/mods/hangover But as I feared all along a lot has changed in the Source world in two years and now after fooling around for several days and trying various, said to work solutions, I still can't get the MOD to run, if I manage to start Hammer, models are missing, the VBCT compile tool does not see the MOD, etc. ARGH! :-( I'm confused now as there is so much different info out there (some already outdated) about how to convert your MOD to Source SDK 2013 or start Hammer differently, edit various txt files… I'm not even sure I need to convert or what exactly I should be doing to get this back up running. I fear I'm not seeing the forest from the tree and all this should be much easier. It was a simple Orange Box MOD with no code modification. Is there anybody out there with experience in sorting this kind of crap out? Anybody willing to take a look? I am so close to releasing the MOD, just need to get this sorted out. It all worked perfectly 2 years ago, so I am sure there is not much other crap going on in the MOD, just this SDK change needs some love to get it running again. I hope this makes sense to someone with experience in this. It's all gray for me. I just want to design!!! Any help would be very much appreciated.
