Talk:AVI Materials
Hmm, from the looks of this, this has potential for opening up a whole new phenomenon: Virtual movie piracy. Could it be handled like SHOUTcast radio perhaps? :P --Andreasen 21:07, 11 Sep 2006 (PDT)
- Yeah, I'd love to see someone do a drive-in theatre mod, with a real movie playing on the screen that you and your friends were watching at the same time. You could spawn zombies during the slow parts, and someone could model a pretty great Havok-enabled box of popcorn to spill. :-) --Ndnichols 07:52, 12 Sep 2006 (PDT)
- Thanks for the great tutorial Ndnichols!
- I am only experiencing 1 error which is an abstract class error. I sent you an email but ill copy the contents here In case it slips through the cracks or if anyone else has a solution for what appears to be a simple problem.
- Seems to be the only warning/error aswell and it might have something to do with imaterialproxy.cpp in the Client codes.
- I should note i am using Orangebox engine however that shouldn't make a huge difference, although i am also using VC2008 Express to Compile the source so that might be my issue..
-
- Anyway here is the only error i'm coming across;
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
- 5>c:\src\game\client\AVIMaterialProxy.h(74) : error C2259 : 'CAviMaterialProxy' : cannot instantiate abstract class
- 5> due to following members:
- 5> 'IMaterial *IMaterialProxy::GetMaterial(void)' : is abstract
- 5> c:\src\public\materialsystem/IMaterialProxy.h(25) : see
- declaration of 'IMaterialProxy::GetMaterial'
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- This error is coming from around line 70 in AVIMaterialProxy.h;
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
- EXPOSE_INTERFACE( CAviMaterialProxy, IMaterialProxy, "AviRenderer"
- IMATERIAL_PROXY_INTERFACE_VERSION );
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- and the declaration of 'IMaterialProxy::GetMaterial' is;
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
- abstract_class IMaterialProxy
- {
- public:
- virtual bool Init( IMaterial* pMaterial, KeyValues *pKeyValues ) = 0;
- virtual void OnBind( void * ) = 0;
- virtual void Release() = 0;
- virtual IMaterial * GetMaterial() = 0; // This line is new to Orangebox...
-
- protected:
- // no one should call this directly
- virtual ~IMaterialProxy() {}
- };
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Where i've written // This line is new to Orangebox...
- Is where its stuffing up i think, when i comment out virtual IMaterial* GetMaterial() = 0;
- your codes then work without errors however it breaks just about every other proxy cpp in the Source engine
- (same abstract class error when its not commented, but not on your files on Valve's)
-
- Any help would be much appreciated
-
- Thanks for the codes man, and thanks in advance :)

Ah Ha!
I think i've got it...
It's because in the code both IMaterial and Texture are used and that now wth Orange Box, they are incompatable...
I managed to get a type-cast error but that's as close as i have come.
Sorry but there it is...

Fixed!
I have just edited the wiki page to add a fix to allow this to work on branches newer than 2007. This fix was semi-documented on the Procedural Materials page, but was never moved here. Since I do not have access to update the actual AVIMaterials.zip download, I have simply written the instructions to apply the patch. I can host an updated copy (along with vfw32.lib) if anyone would like.
I have confirmed that the code now works on all current branches of source, including 2013. Djelectro (talk) 02:20, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
