Forum posts

they have forums!?

I've had this listen server open for a while now and my friends asked if I could add admin and rtd mods to it. I did that by going to sourcemod.net and dled a few plugins. I'v been looking for ages but nothing seems to work for them. not even dedicated servers can use them. where do I need to put the files.

By the way I didn't bump it. it was still like this

hmm maybe but when I got the original hl2 zombie fils it did the same thing. I'm just thinking that the attack code somehow went spazzy after trying to make to zombies and ended up saving it somewhere in the solution that I don't know about.

[edit]

How can you make the cubemaps less reflective.

[this reminds me]

there was this thread about twhl dying. is that so? because I've been watiing for an answer for a few weeks...

I was just using face poser and was following a lipsynch tutorial on youtube. I followed it until the actual phoneme editor. I have myself saying "Looks like we got to you just in time" and I exported it as a wav during audacity. I then opened it using phoneme editor and hit the re-extract tab and typed it in. then after clicking ok and a red error message appeared saying "Last Extraction: error during last extraction". and I've been trying for ages to get it to work but it won't. could someone tell me what's wrong.

Ok this is for people who have vista and can't seem to get the re-extraction method to work. You Cannot Use Vista For That Method. but what you can do is do it manually. first of all type in what the character is saying in the re-extract dialogue and then press ok. then it will appear with "Last Extraction: error during last extraction" in red. then go to the top of the phoneme editor and use ctrl+mouse1 to make your words align the words of what the character is saying. then once that's done play it a few times and then if it's completely aligned then you can go to your first word, right click and then select add phoneme for "word". you have to move it.

Note: you can't move it about untile there is a phneme after it. so what I suggest is after the word add a <sih> in tthe phoneme menu and then delete once you've aligned the phonemes to the word being said.

and once thats done you press the spacebar to play and then double check by slowing it down and looking at the mouth or your actor. once you've got the words aligned then you just save it as a wave. now go to your script file in your mod and then go to your "npc_sounds_citizen" and once thats open put this in the sound part of the file

"npc_citizen.testertalk"
{

"channel"		"CHAN_VOICE"
"volume"		"VOL_NORM"
"pitch"			"PITCH_NORM"

"soundlevel"	"SNDLVL_NORM"

"wave"			"vox/harry/really.wav"

}

The "wave" is the directory of the sound file.

You can change the "npc_citizen.testertalk" it's just there so that faceposer can read it.

now go back to faceposer. in the top menu go to choreography and then click new. then you have a timeline. it will ask you to name your actor. I called mine harry. then go to the timeline, right click on the name harry on the timeline then choose the Wav option. and then it'll come with a new window. go to filter and type in the name in the .txt so mine would be "npc_citizen.testertalk" then it'll show up. click ok and then in the timeline it should be a little pink line. you can move it about to different places on the timeline. then at the top of the timeline click somewere forward and then he should say those words. finally save as anything you want. then in hammer the entity to use in logic_choreography_scene

The Target is the name of the npc you want to talk.

The name is the name.

scene is the name of the choreogrphy scene. so browse and find your file. after compiling your character will say other stuff too but when you get a certain distance (asuming your using the trigger_once entity) he should say it.

Well I did create another mod called code src whiich is where I keep my backed up coding. I've already copied and pasted the code and still nothing. it's very strange. I'm gonna work on it today just to see whats going on.

[edit]

Well I copied and pasted an old backup server.dll which still has all the main stuff I added. I figured that the last thing in the coding I did was create a new zombie type. ended up recreating the Header and c ++ files. so thats basezombie and zombie. I think it would be that.

it's skill config and that's exactly the same as it was. and poison zombie has the same thing. not the fast though. it'd be terrible if through out 7 tasks if you see a zombie it ca't hurt you.

Exactly. if you think it's true don't go to their link. We've completed getting somebodys account back.

[edit]

OMG another error. it now seems when zombies attack you, you don't take any damage. nor anyone else for that matter.

Our squad (Anti-Hijackers) are trying our best to get rid this evil. But I have not delayed the mod. I want to get it finished before the day that I'm pissed and fall for it.

I know stupid tiny keys

[edit]

okay well I now have evberything up and running. I just want toi know something from a modeller. I have weapon smds and skins but when I compile it all the weapon doesn't show. I followed the VDC and it didn't work and I had an all day google look around. so how can make the weapon combine with the hands to make it all stick together.

[Huge edit]

OKay guys this is really important so pay attention. my friend went through a hijacking today and is still hijacked. he told me to post this up everywhere so here you go:

Okay look there is a post goign aroudn saying its a free half life episode 3... its from random people please watch out start spreading this we dont want you or your friends to get jacked... it was originaly from a guy name sia the sin gladiator..

well I've tried everything. I have sdk working again but no compilers. I'm really not hapy. ok everything exept the sdk works.

[edit]

Okay We've go tit up and running again I think. Google is your friend.

cool

[even more crap]

Well even more of a down turn our compiler has stopped working. says can't find user app id. SO i tried to reinstall it and now sourcesdk won't install

yeah I've found out that the client handles it

[edit]

Now I'm advancing in moddeling terms. I now am going to make an all new machete weapon

ok

done that already. it's hl2 original not any of the episodes.

For 7 tasks source we want to have episode 2 blood. even ep1 blood. any ideas? I've seen many mods have this.

hey how does that voice acting thing work?

it's okay I post alot. Probably next time you look you'll see: [edit].

I keep on editing it. I can't double post and new stuff keeps on popping up so...

hl1 is very different to hl2 code. anyway the team have decided that it's pointless. now they're working more on models.

[edit]
but we're working on a multi-player game sert in one of the levels. and it's called city of the dead. it has all of he weapons and textures and models. it's going to come out soon. and there will be a server opening as well. so I'm looking forward to that.

yes

Well I've looked everywhere and Can't find anything.

Depends. Do you want the player to be able to pick up weapons they already have, and carry them around with them to use as ammo later, or have to manually 'Pick up' the weapon to receive it?

Quote:
copy the prop_physics code that makes them able to be 'use' picked up and replace the weapon 'gravity gun pickup' code with it

Is for carrying it for ammo, while I have no idea for using to actually recive it.
(I assume you were asking me)

Does that mean you pickup an ammo box or add it into the inevntory?

what I want is to pick up a weapon or ammo by pressing E. like in L4D.

right now we're trying to make it so that if you want to pickup an entity (say a weapon) you tap the USE key. but we don't know hwo to do it really.

MOD DB!!!!

http://www.moddb.com/mods/7-tasks-source

welll yeah you can release it look at "Return to castle wolfenstien". we got the accounts back so 7 tasks source is back on. and mod db have made the page avalible. I was writing in a hurry so...

Legal?

yeah. actually just watch southpark and I'll be fine. Also because of this crap I'm gonna just remake half-life 2 in the goldsource engine. I can get footage from youtube to get the design and the story right.

those bastards. what fun do they get out of that

not only that i'm devistated. all that money. and I'm not a rich person. I was lcuky to have those games. and to think it was a friend as well. he nice for ages. I just want to get my games back. any help because steams being stupid.

no steam. and theirs apparently. we were all friends with one guy and he invited us to join somewhere and we took the bait. all the progress of 7 tasks had to be stooped until we can get our accounts back

[edit]

im afraid for now 7 tasks is just 7 tasks. they haven't finished the hl1 version yet and thet're going to for the time being.

I fouynd out what I did wrong... I didn't compile the server.dll. it works now and the zombies have no headcrabs and the blood is red.

[edit]

The modDB page. not precessed yet but I'm gonna send the link anyway:

http://www.moddb.com/mods/7-tasks-source

[edit}

oh no crap uhedwaigufdiulwrg

can somebody help me please my accounts been hacked

AH CRAP BIG ERROR! the mod starts up alright but when any map loads it goes back to main page. any help?

that's cool... now how do i make it so that click new game and it goes to the first map.

just found out I'm using c# instead of c++. I think visual studio c++ can make the .dll.

but the project files within the solution don't seem to be read. so do I just add all of the hl2_dll files into the solution or what.

it doesn't seem to be telling me one of my main problem. my version doesn't like using vcproj files

what project file?

is it "the" or "a"

but I don't know how to because I've got microsoft visual studio 2008 and I want to know if i need to open up a project file or whatever. and I don't know what the output name's supposed to be.

how do they compile the mod with the code they just did?

hey can anybody tell me where to fin npc_zombie.cpp. please.

jeffmod where is the Hl2_dll\npc_zombie.cpp file?

I cant fins npc_zombie.cpp

Well at the moment ther's only one person actually working hard. they got some voice actors but not many. right now Alfred Turner's doing all the mapping modelling coding texturing... he's even writing the thing. but some of the team with a few things. like texture origins and voices. like I said earlier they want sopme voice actors.

[edit]

just got an email from one of the team members. it's a logo
http://s288.photobucket.com/albums/ll177/Taily-sama/?action=view&current=5.png

yeah and did everything it told me... nothing happened

don't know how to do it

http://img210.imageshack.us/my.php?image=zombiesci0003.jpg

sorry just sending links instead for better quality.

The name of the mod is 7 Tasks source. they made a mod for hl1 called 7 tasks. they gave me that as well to compare. they want me to actually be a pulicicty guy. or I told them they need publicity with this mod so... I kinda took that role.

so they like the hl2 version better.

(off subject)

right now they're looking for voice actors.

image shack's quality. PAH!

Scientist

[edit]

Ok i'll try that

okay I'll put some up later.

Err how do you upload again?

heres one from the testmap:
