I remember being 14 and trying to figure out this specific thing, almost a decade ago. I remember I did some stupid nonsense thing to get it to compile, and then it crashed whenever the monster looked at me. I've come a long way since and, even though this would be super easy for me now, it gives me a unique kind of satisfaction, justice almost, to see someone publish a solution. Thank you.
I sure wonder why they returned null in
I sure wonder why they returned null in
GetScheduleOfType, probably an SDK difference of some sort? In either case you can also edit the tutorial itself.
It was reverse engineered long ago. Look for regamedll.

Hey yall i thought i might share my solution to all the errors/bugs with the NPC projectile tutorial here
https://twhl.info/wiki/page/Tutorial%3A_Coding_NPCs_in_GoldSrc
I posted my solution in the comments but i might as well give yall a heads up.
since everyone has been having trouble with this and i needed to learn projectiles, i decided to work on fixing the bugs in this tutorial.
The integers that represent the animation events were not the same as what was written in the .qc for the melee attacks and reload so you had to change it to this
#define PDRONE_FIRE_SPIKE ( 1 )
#define PDRONE_MELEE_LEFT ( 2 )
#define PDRONE_MELEE_RIGHT ( 4 )
#define PDRONE_MELEE_BOTH ( 6 )
#define PDRONE_RELOAD ( 7 )
the return NULL under GetScheduleOfType was causing crashes so i changed it to:
return CBaseMonster::GetScheduleOfType(Type);
i had to make a custom checkAmmo function and override checkRangeAttack1 and explicitly call them in getSchedule.
and thats about it. heres a video preview of the changes i made and the showcasing it working. I will share the gitHub Code below so you can reference it. GITHUB FILES:

in Please help! How to make your weapon fire in 3 round burst? Post #349101
I guess you could create a flag
If m_fInBurst is true, set
Then in WeaponIdle() do something like
Again, I'm just guessing here.
m_fInBurst (set to false in Spawn()) that you set to true in PrimaryAttack() if m_iBurst is equal to m_iMaxBurst, and set to false if m_iBurst is zero.If m_fInBurst is true, set
m_flTimeWeaponIdle to 0.1.Then in WeaponIdle() do something like
void CMP5::WeaponIdle()
{
if (m_fInBurst && m_iBurst > 0)
{
PrimaryAttack();
m_flTimeWeaponIdle = 0.1;
return;
}
// ... rest of codeAgain, I'm just guessing here.

Thanks for your reply!
I tried this method and make a little change in it.Now it can fire in 3 round burst.
However,it still a little difference to what i expected.
Now it needs to press and hold mouse left button to fire 3 shots,what i really want is when i click the button,it will fire 3 shots(Just like the Glock in counter-strike).Can you help me?

I hold a strong belief that Half-Life 3 will appear only once all these fading gaming hype cycles will have been completely exhausted. And yet, even then, people still find stupid ideas to cling to and develop yet the next "best thing" that will register as a small blip of a few months on the gamer's attention radar.
In recent years it feels like the gaming cycles have become more and more compressed. It's like "what's the game of the season?", and feels like it's slowly migrating to bite-sized experiences.
But unfortunately that's what I'm experiencing in my bubble only, because statistics tell us a different story.. Fortnite, Overwatch, LoL etc. have playerbases in the millions or hundreds of millions. I sometimes see kids glued to their phone playing roblox while walking.
Naturally, every major gaming company wants a piece of that pie and then go with the flow: MOBA games (this, after MMMORPGS has been milked to death), Battle Royale (does anyone even remember PUBG?) and different FPSes.... Apex Legends, Fortnite, Overwatch, lately there was a HellDivers 2 trend...
To me Deadlock is yet another game where I'd have to invest way too many resources to learn the style of each champion, strategies and skills. And for what? It's the same old shit and for me it's just a fleeting experience, something to play with my mates 2 or 3 times just to have a taste of it. There simply isn't enough time anymore if you want to have a life outside your house.
Some of us clearly are not in the audience of these companies anymore.

Hi and welcome to TWHL!
Now I haven't dabbled much in the weapons related game code so I'm sure someone else might have a better way of doing it than I.
The way I'd do it is to give new members of type
Then in the PrimaryAttack() method, add a decrement to m_iBurst just below the m_iClip decrement, and further down add a check for if m_iBurst is exhausted, and if it is then add a 0.5 second delay to the next fire property and reset m_iBurst to m_iMaxBurst.

I think Half-Life 3 wouldn't be successful or even considered good without Marc Laidlaw.it's true that Mark Laidlaw made the Half-Life storyline something that no one else would have done. This will never happen again, and therefore Gabe, at one of his private conferences, admited that they never once got involved in the development of the third episode, but everything ended in dysmaralia, depression, and eventually they moved away from all this.

I'm honestly exited for Valve to fail and lose its reputation. This has gone on for too long.unfortunatly, this is how it will be. It is very difficult to make a sequel so that it is as good as the first game, but with drastic changes, and at the same time not ruin everything.

Hi im trying to change the color of the help text (the text right to the bright yellow text) but cant seem to find how to... i've tried editing all the color values on the resource/ClientScheme.res file but everything stayed the same, then i saw an old thread that said changing or creating a "colors.lst" file at gfx/shell with some stuff also changed the colors (even with some images of it working) but maybe since the 25th version it no longer uses these cuz apparenlty i was even supposed to find it on the vanilla half life folders it wasnt there.. but even after creating it it still didnt worked or maybe im just doing it wrong...
dont mind my current bg..

Personally, i strongly believe they are developing somethingI'm sure they're always developing something. I'm guessing that, right now, the gamedev work is mainly distributed across Deadlock (production and testing) and Counter-Strike 2 (maintenance and hopefully content updates), with maybe, maybe just a little bit of wiggle room? For an unannounced game in an early prototyping stage?
But then again, that's just a guess. I might be forgetting to take plenty of things into account.
Hello! In order to mod CS the way you're thinking, you need to have its whole source code. All of the weapons, gamemode rules etc. Unfortunately, there's only an official SDK for Half-Life, and an unofficial OpFor SDK, nothing for CS.
So, the best thing you can do is to replicate CS 1.6 in a HL mod, which is a respectable amount of work, annnd yeah, stuff like adding new weapons requires a good bit of C++ and HL SDK experience.

The whole community is divided, some say that it's in development, other say it's not HL3, or it's a canceled project. Personally, i strongly believe they are developing something, but from the looks of it, it's probably not Half-Life 3. All my money goes to some random test project, maybe some sort of DLC for HL: Alyx.
Deep down, i am really hoping it's HL3, but i am ready to be disappointed.

There will always be toxicity among humans. Regardless of something else. But yes, the Valve are not the same as they were 20 years ago.
is it possible to mod counter-strike by changing its code (like adding new weapons and changing game mechanics)? i have the half-life updated sdk, i built it with vs 2022 and in the liblist i set fallback_dir to cstrike and as expected, gordon freeman was hilariously put in a counter-strike map. you'd probably need a whole new sdk or get counter-strike's source code somehow to actually mod it like i'm thinking, right? i've just started with little c++ knowledge so this is 100% way out of my skill level

Valve leaves traces of game prototypes and does other stuff out of practical reasons, which some people misinterpret as them secretly working on something. I honestly really doubt they're working on anything Half-Life-related on a meaningful scale.
(one or two people could be developing some mini prototype at any point, but for it to have any meaning, it needs to be in actual production)
The "White Sands" stuff isn't really telling of anything, the Black Mesa biotech company very much looks like a fan-made thing, and everything else is just a whole bunch of nothingburger, nothing to get excited about, really.
There's also the possibility that Valve is intentionally trolling us. If I worked at Valve, I'd do the same just to spite the community. Waiting for HL3 has been a meme for such a long time, it makes perfect sense to make fun of it and people's never-ending hope for the game. It's almost a bit like, uhh, Minecraft removing Herobrine every update.
Me personally, I couldn't care less at the very moment. If it turned out that I was way too sceptical and Half-Life 3 actually got a trailer one day, great, I'll probably get very excited for a brief moment. If it never happens, no big deal, I never expected it anyway.

High-profile events, people started talking about Half-Life 3 again, they say that the Valve are preparing something worthwhile. But after looking through the news, it becomes clear that they are not going to release anything exept Deadlock. What do you think about this?
These decompiled map files you downloaded, were those in a different directory from the ones you decompiled yourself?
Because that question mark in the path from the error message implies there is an invalid character in that directory name.

Is it possible to set a viewmodel's bone controller's value either from server-side or client-side code? I need this to move a bone programmatically, but I can't think of any other ways to do it and I've tried every way I could think of to alter the controllers value, and not a single one worked. Namely getting the weapon entity in the server-side code and setting its bone controllers is what I've tried the most.

I'd recommend converting from the RGB images the 8-bit images came from, if possible, for better colour quality.
As for software for doing the conversion I can highly recommend IrfanView. It's free and does the best job of colour preservation when reducing an image's bit depth that I'm aware of.

well, theres too many .SMD files for me to do that, and plus, then it would mess up the other animations i think.
let me know if im wrong

Well, rigging the model with the old skeleton would be your way to go.

Thanks, do you know a program I can use to convert my tga's from 8-bit to 24-bit?

Using Wally they've likely become indexed 8-bit images, while GoldSrc uses 24-bit TGA (AKA RGB True colour).
The dimensions being 256x256 is correct though.

I used Wally to put all of the pictures into a wad so Wally generates their palettes, I then selected all of the skybox images and exported them in a group into TGA's into the gfx/env folder of my mod folder.
J.A.C.K. also gave me a similar error:
"Warning: TGAImageLoader: Only type 2 (RGB), 3 (gray), and 10 (RGB) TGA images supported"
I ignored the warning and started the game anyway after compiling the map, it defaulted to the default skybox, and gave me this error in the console:
LoadTGA: Only type 2 and 10 targa RGB images supported
R_LoadSkys: Couldn't load gfx/env/goldskyrt.tga
Does wally not support the kind of TGA's that half life needs?
all the images are also 256 by 256.

thank you monster_urby, but then how would i port over the decay anims? there isnt really many other ways besides renaming the bones or pain-stakingly recreating the animations by myself. if there is a more easy way to do this, please do let me know, thanks for the response though.

Note: I'm not a modeller or an animator, but I get by with what I know.
Don't rename the bones. That's going to mess with all the references in your models .qc file and yeah, it's going to require all the other animations to be redone.

Nothing to do with Hammer I'm afraid. That's just a level editor. The mapping tools with that toolkit are simply for making your own Paranoia maps.
If you're wanting to use their renderer in your own project, you're going to need to know how to take their code and implement it into your own.
