I have made a tool for editing the lights.rad file.
You choose a color and brightness and it will turn it to rgb and add to your lights.rad file

Thx. :D

It's made in Visual Basic, I can't code gui applications in c.

Cool now I don't need to check in hammer for the light type! :o

is that vb.net? i coded for vb6 (piece o' crap) for a while. i've wanted to start some more vb coding, but vb6 is limited and buggy.

Eww, VB. Learn a real language. Still a useful tool though. :)
m0p m0pIllogical.

I know, VB sucks, but i'll get MVC++ 2003 soon :)

Nice tool. Nice idea, too.
Posted 18 years ago2005-09-22 22:10:31 UTC Post #136679
Good job.

If VB works for you, do it. If nothing else, the learning curve is fast and you can produce stuff quickly.

When you're ready for C/C++, go with MVC++ or MVS.Net 2003. Net has a steep learning curve but there's a lot of stuff to google for when you want it.

How cool! Nice Job!!! :)
Posted 18 years ago2005-09-23 04:07:58 UTC Post #136704
Nice.

But you need to have the .NET Framework package installed. Without that, the program cannot run.
Posted 18 years ago2005-09-23 04:11:10 UTC Post #136705
I like it.. Although it could have been better.
I've got some ideas, maybe I should make my version?
I'll do it. :)

What the fuck.

Then how did you figure out all the required code for your prog? :/

But it was really annoying to make it work.

But how did you figured out the code that READS the value's in the valve.rad file? Im positive you can't find that on Google.
Posted 18 years ago2005-09-23 08:36:10 UTC Post #136766
It's SO easy to make code that reads files.. You just gotta know the order, the file is written in, everything else is simple math. :)

Give me an exmaple code bit please.
Posted 18 years ago2005-09-23 08:46:05 UTC Post #136775
Delphi is much like VB, so I'll write it. :)

[b]{$I-}
AssignFile(&lt;name of TextFile variable&gt;, Edit76.text);
Reset(&lt;name of TextFile variable&gt;);
{$I+}
lines := 0;
while not Eof (&lt;name of TextFile variable&gt;) do begin
lines := lines + 1;
ReadLn (&lt;name of TextFile variable&gt;, x);
case lines of
   1 : br_k := strtofloat(x);
   2 : num_k := strtofloat(x);
   3 : sky_k := strtofloat(x);
   4 : kam_k := strtofloat(x);
   5 : blk_k := strtofloat(x);
   6 : juo_k := strtofloat(x);
   7 : vok_k := strtofloat(x);
   8 : lam_k := strtofloat(x);
   9 : lab_k := strtofloat(x);
   10 : pef_k := strtofloat(x);
   11 : big_k := strtofloat(x);
   12 : lan_k := strtofloat(x);
   13 : poz10_k := strtofloat(x);
   14 : poz20_k := strtofloat(x);
   15 : poz44_k := strtofloat(x);
   16 : par_k := strtofloat(x);
end;
end;[/b]
As you see - this shows how to open a text file and read it's data, when you know how big is it. :)

ChickenFist ChickenFist<Witty Title>
Posted 18 years ago2005-09-23 08:56:33 UTC Post #136780
because you said you had a texture embedded?
Posted 18 years ago2005-09-23 08:58:05 UTC Post #136781
It has a list over all the names of the textures in halflife.wad :)
ChickenFist ChickenFist<Witty Title>
Posted 18 years ago2005-09-23 09:05:35 UTC Post #136784
Ow ok, i thought that your program could read the entries in the valve.rad file and showing it.
Posted 18 years ago2005-09-23 14:33:39 UTC Post #136956
What the hell? I'm sure there are simpler ways to read multiple lines into a single array in Delphi :|.

It's "maths", by the way. Mathematics. Lots of them.

After download: Meh I don't have .net framework v2.0...
Too lazy to download it tonight, maybe tomorrow... :)

Yeah, VB6's is a bizatch when it comes to functionality. The only real useful thing I've made from VB6 was an Insult Generator, and I had to package some OCX and a couple fonts to get it to work right on some systems.

I should learn Delphi, or figure out how to code a GUI in FreeBasic.
Posted 18 years ago2005-10-16 10:04:13 UTC Post #141823
Now it doesn't require the latest framework.
And it's better.

Where does it get the Texture List from, anyway?

Works now, too, just to confirm that.

Posted 18 years ago2005-10-16 14:04:24 UTC Post #141864
Yea and it's quite nice now...
The textures in the texture list must be default.
Why not load them from the .rad file, when the user opens it? :confused:

Because it's suppsoed to be a listover the texture's in the halflife.wad file.

you going to add a feature to change the .wad used?

ChickenFist ChickenFist<Witty Title>
Posted 18 years ago2005-10-17 10:35:36 UTC Post #141966
why? I suppose you somehow integrated halflife.wad into that program of yours. :)

I think he just dumped a listing of it from Wally or suchlike.

I did at first, but I just found a tutorial on editing the .wad files.
I'm trying.
