source-sdk-2013's Issues

CancelPending can cause crashes on non-relays

For example, it can crash when breaking an OnUser1 > FireUser1 loop.

[MP] Fixes for NPCs in multiplayer

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Source SDK 2013's multiplayer does not support NPCs in virtually any capacity. The code relies on UTIL_GetLocalPlayer() and AI_GetSinglePlayer() too much, often not accounting for when either of the two don't exist.

Describe the solution you'd like

Partial integration of SecobMod is the most common and probably the best solution in this case. Some of the more subjective features (e.g. the portal gun) are not needed, but the actual fixes are exactly what seem to be needed.

Describe alternatives you've considered

SecobMod's NPC fixes originate from Winston's AI Multiplayer patch, which could probably be used on its own instead, although I don't know the differences.

---

Additional context

SecobMod's repo is here, although there's also a Steam discussion with a newer patch.

Default params in VScript functions are always saved/restored as null

Whenever a function is saved, its default parameter values are always restored as null even if their default values are something different.

For example, this function has two non-null default parameters:

function TestDefaultParam(set1 = 0.5, set2 = "string")
{
	printl("set1 is " + set1 + ", set2 is " + set2);
}

Whenever TestDefaultParam() is called with no parameters, it normally outputs this into the console:

set1 is 0.5, set2 is string

However, whenever a game is saved/loaded, these parameter values appear to be lost and the function instead outputs this:

set1 is null, set2 is null

This is a problem for functions like EntFire or EntFireByHandle, which rely on the delay parameter having a default of 0.0.

Python VM support

This is similar to #11 regarding Lua VM support, but Python is desired for different reasons.

Python is much different from Squirrel than Lua is, but it has its own benefits which might make it really useful in VScript. The interpreter, data structures, etc. can change a lot, especially with Valve's key/value structure.

The VDC article for Adding Python and/or Sandern's Source SDK 2013 with Python bindings can possibly be used for reference.

Bumpmapped teeth fog exaggerating under intense values

SDK_Teeth materials with a bumpmap specified experience intense fog inconsistent with the fog controller parameters. This issue is most visible on Alyx's teeth.

Most likely related to radial fog. May be related to fog distances being used incorrectly?

env_global_light problems.

I apologize for my importunity, but i found 2 global_light problems.

1. After set r_farz string and add env_global_light, sky will don't draw. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jeHBeZTHGI
2. After load saved game, env_global_light entity reset the angles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQU84aScTfQ

Geiger counter not working upon level unload

Origin not known; Could be related to the presence of point_radiation_source. Reported in multiple Mapbase mods

c_arms support for Half-Life 2 viewmodels

Mapbase has support for custom hand viewmodels in the form of logic_playerproxy inputs and KV, but it can't actually be used with the default viewmodels. Mods can have their own viewmodels which use it, but having Mapbase come with its own version of the default HL2 models with proper c_arms support would be beneficial to mappers who want to portray different protagonists without going to all of the effort of getting new viewmodels or pretending that the HEV suit arms are something else.

Water reflections sometimes don't display correctly/consistently between the original Water shader and new Water shader

Reflections on some water materials display differently or don't display at all when using SDK_Water instead of Water. This may be an issue with the shader, although further investigation is needed to confirm that this is testing Mapbase with the old shader and not just testing regular Source 2013 with the old shader. If reports come from the latter, it could be an issue with Mapbase's clientside view-rendering instead of the shader.

Expanding env_wind to control specific effects, including func_precipitation

This was originally going to be a contribution in a PR (#35), but we decided that we would go for a more flexible and robust wind effect selection system instead which wouldn't affect existing maps.

I meant to make this right after v4.3's release, but I forgot about it and didn't get the chance after the inclusion of the other v5.0 features. It will probably be experimented with in the next Mapbase update.

Adding development set-up instructions

While the docs on setting up a mod with mapbase are great, there is still room for improvement in settting up the mapbase source for the development of mapbase.
Maybe adding a DEVELOPMENT.md would help other developers setting it up.
I followed the https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Source_SDK_2013 wiki instructions, but even after building the solution, I don't the same folders as in the release.zip

V_AppendSlash ran out of space

I've been seeing this error a lot from people who have been using Mapbase, although they don't seem to make a big deal about it.

I have no idea where it comes from or what causes it to happen; It may not be an issue unique to Mapbase or one that we can fix, but I'm putting it here anyway because I feel like I've only seen this from people using Mapbase and not people using regular Source 2013.

VScript Save/Restore - Crash when restoring vectors in a table

The game can crash when restoring a Squirrel VM state with a Vector instance inside of a table. This does not appear to happen with other instance types, like entity handles.

For example, the following code will crash upon restoring a VM state:

tableTest <-
{
     vecTest = Vector( 24, 32, 17 )
}

However, the following code will not crash when restoring a VM state:

vecTest <- Vector( 24, 32, 17 )

---

The crash occurs on this line in SquirrelVM::ReadObject(), when the typetag is assumed to be a script description and checked for SCRIPT_SINGLETON:

        SQUserPointer typetag;
        sq_gettypetag(vm_, -1, &typetag);

        if (typetag && typetag != TYPETAG_VECTOR &&
            ((ScriptClassDesc_t*)typetag)->m_pszDescription[0] == SCRIPT_SINGLETON[0]) <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
        {
            sq_poptop(vm_);

            Assert(sq_isclass(klass));

This suggests vectors are somehow losing their typetag upon being restored. There is not supposed to be any difference between instances outside of tables and instances inside of tables, but it only appears to happen with instances inside of tables.

This could be an underlying issue with the way the restore code interacts with embedded tables.

Add info_overlay specular to VBSP in the same manner as specular brush faces

This was suggested by Iñaki, who was apparently even able to do this with a batch script.

Also look into whether parallax corrected cubemaps can be used as well

Making VScript transition across levels

May require major refactoring of existing save/restore system.

Lost Coast soldier model crashes when loaded in Mapbase

Based on an issue a user was having, the Lost Coast version of the Combine soldier model apparently crashes when loaded into Mapbase. Default HL2 content is prioritized over Lost Coast content in the default gameinfo.txt structure, so this doesn't cause any major issues by default, but it could potentially involve an underlying problem (e.g. previous .mdl versions not working with the $includemodel custom animation technique).

This might also just be from loading old Half-Life 2/lostcoast models into Source 2013 in general.

Actbusy manifest override is loaded before creation of string register of activities

Assertion in server\ai_activity.cpp line 73: m_pActivitySR is null
Can be reproduced by loading mapbase_demo01

1. When IGameSystem::LevelInitPreEntityAllSystems called, all LevelInitPreEntity functions
   of all game systems are executed in addition order.
2. m_pActivitySR is created by CAI_SystemHook::LevelInitPreEntity,
   but it is called after CMapbaseSystem::LevelInitPreEntity
3. That function load and registers actbusies from file specified in manifest using CActBusyAnimData::ParseAnimDataFile.
4. And ParseAnimDataFile uses CAI_BaseNPC::GetActivityID, which fails on Assert( m_pActivitySR );

There is also a call of CActBusyAnimData::ParseAnimDataFile from CActBusyAnimData::LevelInitPostEntity, which loads default ActBusy.txt file without any errors.

Add parm to light "Cast entity shadows" for enable\disable local casting shadows from this light.

Adding parm "Cast entity shadows" to light in L4D or L4D2 choose allows the light to modify the direction of nearby render-to-texture shadows so that they always point away from its origin, if this is needed.

$bumpmask missing from SDK_LightmappedGeneric

It appears that the shader code copied from Insolence has dismantled the $bumpmask parameter. This causes some HL2 materials (e.g. nature/toxicslime002a) to stop working correctly.

I had never heard of this parameter before. I'm not even getting any results for it on the VDC. Even though it's an obscure mask type used for very specific purposes, this is a feature used in Half-Life 2 that is now broken. The removal of $bumpmask is not a desired change for Mapbase.

Is this disabled because of code copied from Alien Swarm? If so, why was it disabled? Is there any risk for re-enabling it?

VScript debug draw-related functions not functional

This was reported by NvC_DmN_CH on Mapbase's SMC channel.

This could be related to the fact these functions are located in NDebugOverlay, a separate namespace.

VScript no type check causes crash on invalid input

SquirrelVM::GetInstanceValue needs to check the type of hInstance against pExpectedType to ensure it returns only if the types match. It could also possibly recursively check for base types too.

Recreate by passing unexpected HSCRIPT value

player.SetOwner( 1 )
player.SetOwner( "" )
player.SetParent( 0, "" )
EntFireByHandle( [], "" ) etc.

Brush doors look strange under a flashlight

func_brush entities parented to prop_door_rotating entities as part of Mapbase's "brush door" trick experience odd shader issues.

VScript crashes upon transitioning to another level and then going back to load previous level

This appears to happen regardless of what's running in the VM at the time of either transition.

---

Steps to reproduce:

1. Load a map which transitions to another level while also allowing the option of going back. (e.g. d1_trainstation_02-d1_trainstation_03)
2. Transition to the next level.
3. After the next level is loaded, go back to transition into the previous level.

NPCs turn invisible and crash upon ragdolling (rare)

This is a rare issue thought to be caused by Mapbase's "$includemodel hierarchy" method for adding custom animations to NPCs.

In this issue, a random NPC's model suddenly turns invisible. The "randomness" may depend directly on the state of the entity list at the time; sometimes this issue occurs on the same NPC across multiple playthroughs. The issue often stops happening after additional compiles in the involved map, although this may depend on what was changed from the original compile.

When the NPC turns into a ragdoll (e.g. after dying) in this invisible state, the game crashes with a dump typically leading to a central studio.cpp function, often involving the model's "virtual model".

---

This issue is very rare; in fact, it wasn't even thought to be caused by Mapbase because it was previously only reported to have happened in two mods with shared code with no reports involving any other Mapbase mod. However, it has now been observed to occur in another mod using Mapbase, so the leading hypothesis now is that it's a rare issue with Mapbase itself involving Mapbase's custom animations.

Potential causes:

• Engine-side limitations of $includemodel nesting which could not be fixed.
• Something involving the .ani files on the original models interfering with the new animations.

---

Misc. phenomena involving this issue:

• The issue has so far only been observed to happen on NPCs.
• Removing EF_NODRAW or setting the render mode to "None" on a model made invisible by this issue do not do anything.
  • The model might not actually be invisible. It might just be offset to an invalid position. (need further testing on that)
• The model can return to normal and ragdoll with no problems if the involved model is hidden by vis (possibly only by area portals?) for an extended period of time.

Blended selfillum and transparency not showing up on water reflection or refraction

$selfillum and $translucent/$alphatest blending does not function when rendered through water. The selfillum is always at 100% intensity and the transparency always ends up fully transparent. This does not happen with mirrors.

---

NOTE: $translucent/$alphatest blending shows up correctly when "Reflect all" is enabled rather than "Reflect world". $selfillum blending still seems to show up incorrectly during refraction.

IsValid() is missing from VScript

IsValid() checks to make sure the handle is pointing to a valid entity. Using handle != null only checks if the handle itself is null. This would check to see if the handle is pointing to a valid entity.

This doesn't seem to be in the Alien Swarm SDK, which suggests it might be something in the VScript library. This needs more research

Metrocop/soldier/citizen rappel rope seems to bug out

Unknown if directly shader-related or if an embedded rappel cable material just needs to be changed to the new shader

dev_camera s&box

postprocess_controller support

This is an entity from later versions of Source which is available in the Alien Swarm SDK.

Momentum has this ported to Source 2013, so it's possible and there's a reference available; Needs further research

Lua VM support

It has been proposed that a Lua VScript VM could be added in addition to Squirrel. This would be great for people coming from a Gmod Lua background, people approaching Source 2 VScript, etc.

This would not happen until the Squirrel VM is in a confidently stable state.

Remaining questions:

• Will the known benefits be worth the time and effort?
• Should this be done before or after v4.0? (should it be a part of the initial full VScript release)

Some class functions not restored properly after save/restore

I'm having an issue with CTakeDamageInfo's functions not being registered after being restored from a save file. (CTakeDamageInfo is a class exposed by my own changes)

First, I spawned a citizen running a script file named test_takedamage_1:

function TakeDamage()
{
    local ent = Entities.FindByName(null,"devzombies")
    local info = CreateDamageInfo(ent, ent, Vector(0, 0, 100000), Vector(0,0,0), 1000, 0)
    if (ent)
    {
        printl("Found zombie, applying damage " + info.GetDamage())
        ent.TakeDamage(info)
    }
    else
    {
        printl("Can't find zombie")
    }

    DestroyDamageInfo(info)
}

Then, after saving the game and loading the save, I spawned a zombie named devzombies and ran the following command on the citizen:

ent_fire !picker runscriptcode "TakeDamage()"

This code fails to run, with the console containing the following error:

(16.35) input : devcitizen.runscriptcode(TakeDamage())

CALLSTACK
*FUNCTION [TakeDamage()] test_takedamage_1.nut line [9]

AN ERROR HAS OCCURRED [the index 'GetDamage' does not exist]
*FUNCTION [main()] InputRunScript line [1]
[this] TABLE

LOCALS
[vargv] ARRAY
[info] NULL
[this] TABLE
[ent] INSTANCE
 Entity devcitizen encountered an error in RunScript()

This is the case with any entity running any code involving CTakeDamageInfo from that point forward, but it curiously does not happen if there is no script in the level involving CTakeDamageInfo when the game is saved and its first involvement is after the save is loaded.

This has not been tested with other classes.

---

Steps to reproduce

1. Load mapbase_demo02
2. Spawn a citizen by typing the following command into the console: npc_create npc_citizen devcitizen vscripts "test_takedamage_1" (NOTE: Assumes the script above was saved as test_takedamage_1 in scripts/vscripts)
3. Save the game
4. Load the save
5. Spawn a zombie by typing the following command into the console: npc_create npc_zombie devzombies
6. Run the following command in the console: ent_fire devcitizen runscriptcode "TakeDamage()"

[MISC] "vscript" response in Response System

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The Response System is currently limited to a few specific speech-related response types which are (for the most part) pretty flexible on their own, but it's hard to do anything ground-breaking with it without heavily modifying the source code.

Describe the solution you'd like

A response type which could run the response name as VScript code could make the Response System more flexible than ever.

Potential benefits:

• VScript can be used to play scenes, wave files, and sentences on its own, so it can allow for response-specific behavior. It can also allow other dynamic behavior unrelated to the response.
• VScript can be used to influence entities in the map, so this would make it much easier to use the Response System for non-speech applications.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Later games have a choreo event for VScript code, although it's not possible to edit Source 2013 Faceposer to use it and its limits aren't fully understood. The code being run directly from the response also allows it to create a scene to play, which would be difficult to replicate in a scene which already exists.

A generic AI event can also be added to Faceposer, although it falls under the same reasoning when it comes to flexibility and ease of use.

---

Additional context

It would probably be best to address this after the Alien Swarm SDK Response System (#43) is implemented.

Vector.Norm() returns normalized vector, but Valve's VScript just modifies the vector itself

This was reported by NvC_DmN_CH on Mapbase's SMC channel.

According to the VDC documentation, Vector.Norm() also might just return the length of the vector itself.

If this changes to match the implementation in Valve's games, an alert would need be issued to notify users of changing functionality.

VS2013 compiler has a lot of non-error warnings while compiling vscript.lib

In the VS2013 compiler, compiling vscript.lib causes several warnings stemming from the Squirrel API. It still compiles, but it's very likely to confuse SDK users who are used to warnings which cause compilation to fail entirely.

Here is a list of every warning given on my end, with irrelevant parts of the file paths cut out:

func_precipitation particle rain from Alien Swarm SDK

This is something that has been heavily requested for Mapbase, but it hasn't been implemented yet.

I've been working on other features and I'm afraid to go down this rabbithole again, so I have the "Help wanted" label on this issue in case anyone wants to add this on their own accord.

Nodegraph might not be loaded when reloading a save under certain circumstances

There have been at least two cases of a map's nodegraph not being loaded currently on map load under the following circumstances:

• The map is being loaded from a save
• The map had not been loaded beforehand (OR: The map is the first nodegraphed map being loaded since the game was started?)

The nodegraph will not load and AI will be disabled when the save is finished loading. If the player restarts the map from the beginning and then reloads the save, the nodegraph will be loaded correctly.

Both reports of this came from mods utilizing Mapbase (Entropy : Zero 2 and Map Labs: FusionVille 2). It is not known if this bug is unique to Mapbase or if it can be replicated in regular Source 2013.

Potentially letting point_camera "Don't render skybox" sky mode write alpha to RT texture

I couldn't get "Don't render skybox" working for point_camera's new "Sky Mode" keyvalue, but I think that's just because I was trying to input SKYBOX_NOT_VISIBLE when something like DF_DRAWSKYBOX was already ticked.

Now, I realize that the lack of a skybox could possibly be used to write the void as alpha, similar to how the 3D skybox works. If so, that would allow for transparent RT textures which allow entities using the RT texture to render what's behind them alongside what's in the RT texture without actually losing opacity.

This means you could have, say, 2D Breen ghosts. Or something.

This could also be expanded to func_reflective_glass and the new func_fake_worldportal entity, especially since doing this with the latter would allow for script_intro-like rendering effects.

This idea did not make it into v5.0, but it will probably be experimented with in the next Mapbase update.

Implement Alien Swarm SDK Response System

The Alien Swarm SDK features the rewritten Response System from Left 4 Dead and later. This system is more efficient and contains new features, such as info_remarkable and follow-up responses.

This is its own component in the SDK (todo: is it a library?) and needs further research. Some mods already change the existing Source 2013 response system as well and implementing this in Mapbase may cause issues with those mods. If this were to be implemented, it would need to be carefully planned or even just considered a completely optional feature.

Failed to create the solution. Missed SDK_engine_post_ps20b.fxc

Allow using any model as prop_static

Fix To use model "model.mdl" with prop_static, it must be compiled with $staticprop!

Add env_dof_controller and Depth of field shader.

In Alien Swarm SDK this is exist. And for cinematography scenes it is nice bonus.

Fix debug build asserts

When running the debug build there are a lot of asserts that occur, it would be good to resolve these so then its easier to do testing and development by using debug builds.

The current work around is to ignore these asserts when they arise however they continue to spam the console even when they are ignored.
