dev.log Thread - A Nights Haunting mod for Half-Life 2: Deathmatch

DWELLING TASKS -_____________________________

LOOK INTO SEEING IF PACKING CONTENT INTO MOD IS BETTER THAN PACKING CONTENT INTO SDK2013 MULTIPLAYER FILE SYSTEM.

^ hammer is holding currently from sdk2013 multiplayer seeing as tho i added the models and materials of all hl source content and it automatically loaded into hammer from that file system naturally ^

- full hdr compile and pakrat into ALL .bsp

\___ most errors resolved *dx80 model error*. hdr cubemap compiled?

-fix missing dx80.vtx files for models in hammer _ not sure if thats relevance bc dx90.vtx props in use?

Note:The zombie will only deal the damage set in sk_zombie_dmg_one_slash for all of its attacks (even when using both hands). This may be due to a simple mistype in npc_BaseZombie.cpp that can easily be corrected.

look into making the demoui and perfui in advanced menu a button instead of bool maybe add a few more cvars to the options menu

- player models come from models2/ folder. npc_citizen and zombie etc. pull from models/ both materials from materials/

-npc_citizen looks to be crashing the game at some ending point or code breaking point, this needs to be triangulated and understood more, i will do this by testing this map stylings and weeding out apparent conflictions until i figure out the rest of the files and/or code thats left or needed to fix the npc_citizen AI working in half life 2 deathmatch.

-alter the distance between following citizens npc that your leading

- figure out why sounds for the main menu and menu background arent working when packed into the sounds.vpk

[!] FOR SOME WILD REASON AT SOME POINT SOME HOW IN MAYBE ALL MAPS WITH NPC_ZOMBIES IN SOME WAY AN NPC_ZOMBIE IS CREATED AND ROAMING SET TO KILL AND MERCS EVERYTHING IN ITS PATH INEVITABLY EVEN NPC_CITIZENS AND THE THING IS COMPLETELY INVISIBLE. YOU CAN HEAR IT IT CAN HIT YOU YOU RESPOND TO THE DAMAGES AND EVERYTHING AS IT WOULD BUT ITS INVISIBLE YOU CANT SEE IT EVEN IN THE PERF MENU YOU CANT SEE THE WIRE FRAMING! A PREDATOR NPC_ZOMBIE DUDE WTF. AND ONLY 1 I THINK AT SOME POINT MAYBE AFTER 10 MINUTES 15 MINUTES IDK. BUT HELP! LOL
