== Fixing NPC's not bleeding ==
Look in AI_BaseNPC.cpp, around line 1020, look for the call to the function SpawnBlood.
Remove IsPlayer() before it ;)
:Didn't work --[[User:Generaleskimo|General Eskimo]]
Well, in that case it gets harder... I don't know what I have changed in my code... You should do some debugging... is SpawnBlood() even called? And so, what color blood? (it shouldn't be DONT_BLEED) -- [[User:dutchmega|dutchmega]]

:'''>>>''' Hello guys. I had a friend whom asked me why the NPCs were not bleeding. I have fixed it by checking in the prediction system. Indeed, if you set ''cl_prediction 0'', the NPCs will bleed ;o) --[[User:Dolphineye|--Dolphin's Eye]] 16:42, 4 Aug 2006 (PDT)

::Well, I fixed it some time ago in my mod. I'll post the code for this tomorrow at my sandbox-page. --[[User:Dutchmega|dutchmega]] 16:35, 4 Aug 2006 (PDT)

::: '''>>>''' OK. Anyway I retrieved the code fix. It was a prediction problem indeed. In file '''c_basecombatcharacter.cpp''', in the ''BEGIN_RECV_TABLE'' function, I added:

<pre>
RecvPropInt( RECVINFO( m_bloodColor ) ),
</pre>

:::And in the file '''baseentity_shared.cpp''', in ''TraceAttack()'', I changed to this :

<pre>
void CBaseEntity::TraceAttack( const CTakeDamageInfo &info, const Vector &vecDir, trace_t *ptr )
{
	Vector vecOrigin = ptr->endpos - vecDir * 4;

//***THOMAS*** NPCS & PLAYERS BLEEDING FIX
#ifndef CLIENT_DLL
	if ( m_takedamage )
#else
	if ( prediction->InPrediction() )
#endif
//***
	{
		AddMultiDamage( info, this );

		int blood = BloodColor();
		
		if ( blood != DONT_BLEED )
		{
			SpawnBlood( vecOrigin, vecDir, blood, info.GetDamage() );// a little surface blood.
			TraceBleed( info.GetDamage(), vecDir, ptr, info.GetDamageType() );
		}
	}
}
</pre>

== Still need help on your Source MOD? ==
Hey, nice, another person from the Netherlands ^_^ Nice to meat you! :D I saw you were working on a MOD for the Source engine... I'm pretty good in making levels (by Valve Hammer). If you need someone to make levels, come to me :D

:: Well, I'm looking for good SP/co-op mappers, who can map HL2-quality. Hard to find... --[[User:Dutchmega|dutchmega]]
:::While I'm passing through, adding your page to the Help Wanted category ... Mapping "HL2-quality" isn't just a skill, it's also an incredible time commitment - hundreds of hours of work. You are having trouble finding people ... is your 'advertising' limited to what you set out in your user page? 
:::If that is so, my advice would be that you aren't saying enough to persuade people to even consider committing that quantity of time and you will be more successful in finding people if you write a better pitch. --[[User:Giles|Giles]] 05:11, 10 May 2006 (PDT)

does anyone know how to put things bluntly? i dont know how to make a button to open a door yet, and have been looking for a long time (about half an hour i think) could someone put it bluntly (i.e. 1. open ...) please? game4ever http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/User:Game4ever

== howdy all quick question ==

ok total noob at mapping but have an uncle thats been doing mapping since counter strike was released. Just getting ahold of him is like trying to grab a cloud with your bare hands. Anyway my question is on building a map. wich is the easyest way to makeing a map i know how to make individual rooms but think thats going to take forever should i just make like a block ata time and chapter them together or build the whole thing at once and section each with a loading door?
:Lol, why are you asking mapping questions? You can see at my userpage that I'm a coder? --[[User:Dutchmega|dutchmega]]
::Here I am again ;) Ok... *reading* ...Make it room-by-room, and connect them right away. If you're planning on HUGE HL2-quality maps, then I would indeed connect them with a little room that loads (like in HL2 chapters). Else I would just make normal rooms, with each one build after the other, and connecting them right away.

== !player & NPC footsteps ==

Hi, could you please give me fix for !player messages and missing NPC footsteps ? I've no idea how to fix them, so please help :O(
Thanks in advance.. --[[User:Vaber|Vaber]] 08:00, 28 May 2006 (PDT)
:The !player issue is in <code>sceneentity.cpp</code>. Instead of calling UTIL_GetLocalPlayer(), you should iterate through all players and get the closest player that's alive and hasn't got the NOTARGET-flag. For the NPC footsteps, take a look at [[Dynamic NPC Footsteps]]. If you got any more questions, you can find me at MSN/Google Talk. --[[User:Dutchmega|dutchmega]] 09:30, 28 May 2006 (PDT)

==AI Relationship Table==
Marking the AI relationship table is outdated isn't a very good excuse, as it can be easily updated, and the fact it can be easily found in code doesn't mean a mapper who wants to manipulate the AI relationships in a map should have to go into the code to find it. If we update the tables then it can be a useful resource. --[[User:AndrewNeo|AndrewNeo]] 12:39, 2 Oct 2006 (PDT)
:hm... True. Do you want to keep both? --[[User:Dutchmega|dutchmega]] 12:45, 2 Oct 2006 (PDT)
:* While the cross-section table is probably more useful than the single relationship table, we'd better keep both for now. --[[User:AndrewNeo|AndrewNeo]] 17:12, 4 Oct 2006 (PDT)
