[quote][quote]There should be a program that can do all that:
  • Browse textures in wads
  • Create wads
  • View models and their animations
  • Playback sounds
  • Create pak/gcf files
  • View sprites
  • Create sprites
All in one app.[/quote]
You could call it "The developator"
In the words of Charlie from Colony 42: "Oscar, don't break that!"
Wait...The line I was thinking of was "Get to it!" :walter:[/quote]

Anyone serious about it? This sounded like a fun project to try, but I'm too lazy to start it on my own.

There would be some research to do but that's part of the fun. I'm thinking C#. Any volunteers? :crowbar:

If this was for Source, I'd have the perfect program for you.

I was bored today, and since format specification and source code is availible for mostly everything that needs to be done, I though that it could be a fun little project:
User posted image
User posted image
  • Browse textures in wads almost check - reads texture information from WAD. needs to convert image data to bitmap and draw
  • Create wads should be easy - source for doing this is in SDK
  • View models and their animations check
  • Playback sounds check
  • Create pak/gcf files could be done with HLlib
  • View sprites should be easy to do, source for sprite creating program is in sdk
  • Create sprites see above
If anyone wants to help out just say so! ^^ (C++/MFC)
Watch out for quickly-thrown-together and a bit hacky coding, though ;)

I don't think you can create files with HLLib. Correct me if I'm wrong, though.
Are you using some predefined model viewing code or are you using your own?

Hm, I think you're right. Well, isn't GCF creation kind of useless, anyway? Can you use custom GCF's with hl? :P

I used the one in the Half-Life SDK and rewrote it a bit.

Editing and viewing liblist.gam data :P

NICE! And I thought it was just a random idea nobody cared about.

I want in. Are you using C++6 or C#2009?

I just have to find my damned SDK. Can I download it from somewhere to save time?

Well, not really. The possible items are hardcoded, so you can only change the value of items that can be used.

I'm using Visual C++ 2008. I could set up a Google Code page so everyone can access the code.

Also, SDK :D

Thanks :D

An online repository would be great for a team project like this. I forgot all of them, I always used the company repo for work.

Edit: What?? Register to download?? D:

The full SDK contains everything valve used to make HL exept the maps and textures
The normal SDK has almost nothing in it.

Good old games.on.net. Possibly the best game download site ever, and it's owned by my ISP :)

What? I seem to miss afxwin.h and stdafx.h. My VC2008 can't be incomplete. Unless I need VC6! What's going on here?

That's the MFC includes. They should be in every VC++ edition except express :confused:.

Updated the repo code, as well. Now with sprite viewing. Upside down sprite viewing, but still :P
