NPCs crash looking for cover after a beta update
Fixed: commit 09a162 on main fixes the NPC-related crashes, and the issue was closed.
NPCs crash looking for cover after a beta update
BREEDNKMs reported that NPCs crash when searching for cover after the hEnemy change. ZehMatt added a repro; drobotk: spawning a Crow crashes; TotallyARussian: metrocops crash, only on dev.
Save crash fix on main; SetSaveValue allows m_hGoalEnt and m_hPhysicsEnt; ladder dismount fix
Commit 7b6a89 on main brings the crash fixes (including saves), allows m_hGoalEnt and m_hPhysicsEnt in SetSaveValue and tries to account for info_ladder_dismount inside the ground.
Details
- Fix crashes related to recent changes, including saves
- Allow
m_hGoalEntandm_hPhysicsEntinSetSaveValue;hEnemyis replaced byNPC:SetEnemy - Try to account for
info_ladder_dismountinside ground - Fixed VPC writing debug files into the release config on Linux
- Minor cleanup
SetSaveValue unlocked for NPC m_hGoalEnt
BREEDNKMs asked for m_hGoalEnt for GOALTYPE_PATHCORNER navigation. Closed on 23 October; commit 7b6a89 allows it.
Crash from removed triggers fixed; Hunter pose parameter fix; VPC and gmad build for Linux64
Commit b9fc35 on main fixes a crash with inputs firing from removed triggers, the Hunter NPC's wrong lookup function and lets SetSaveValue set m_hStoredPathTarget; VPC and gmad/gmpublish now build for Linux64.
Details
- Fixed a crash with inputs firing from removed triggers
- Fixed the wrong lookup function in Hunter NPC code
m_hStoredPathTargetadded to the SetSaveValue whitelist- VPC and gmad/gmpublish build for Linux64; VPC builds and runs for Win64; VPC colors on Linux; no CodeLite projects on Linux
- Lowercase
min/maxmacros removed so they don't interfere with C++ headers on 64-bit Linux - Minor Hammer code fixes
Hunter used the wrong lookup for stagger_yaw
DVIsm6 found LookupAttachment used instead of LookupPoseParameter for the Hunter's stagger_yaw. Fixed (commit b9fc35).
Barnacle regression fixed, 3 bone weights for meshes, math_counter outputs, Autorefresh rework
Commit 280e7a on main fixes regressions in entity search (including Barnacles), allows three bone weights for procedural meshes, adds OnChangedFromMin/Max to math_counter and substantially changes Autorefresh error handling.
Details
- Separate Linux client and SRCDS build scripts
- Classname added to the CUtlRBTree overflow message
- Fixed some regressions with entity search, including Barnacles
ErrorFromLuarenamed toErrorNoHaltStack; addedCLuaInterface::FormatErrormesh.BoneDatacan be called with index 2 (weight ignored);Mesh()allows 3 bone weights andMesh:BuildFromTrianglesreads up to 3- Two new PhysFrame sub scopes:

SetSaveValue allows NPC m_hStoredPathTarget
BREEDNKMs asked to allow m_hStoredPathTarget in SetSaveValue to replicate SetGoal-style navigation. robotboy655: "Done." (commit b9fc35).
Nak explains his navigation system's pathfinding
In #developer-talk, Nak explained his navigation system to Zemen. It runs a double A* search from start to goal and from goal to start, meeting in the middle ("a trick GPS use"). The search tracks polygon entry points, and the system reads the map's AIN info_nodes. NPCs such as the 200 antlions in his video run a "dumb" AI while waiting for a path, so they seem to react immediately.
Barnacles stopped pulling players after recent changes
MagentaIris reported that barnacles grab players without pulling them. Niikbb confirmed it on dev and x86-64; BREEDNKMs saw it without mods. Fixed on 19 October (commit 280e7a).
NPCs measure melee distance to the center instead of the object size
wrefgtzweve reported that NPCs measure melee distance to an object's center rather than its OBB, so large objects make melee NPCs such as antlions just stand around.
