"C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\gtamike\half-life 2 deathmatch\hl2mp\particles\electrical_fx.pcf" Other people that download the map will not be able to view the particles files because my user name is listed in "data source". If you want the E.G. files to investegate you can download them here. http://forum.tsgk.com/viewtopic.php?mode=attach&id=7733 Also the entity name in SDK Hammer 2009 is: "info_particle_system" I hope there will be a fix for this problem, thanks. RE: PackBsp

Hello, does your PackBsp really support packing particles into the .bsp and work ingame?

e.g.
“hl2mp\particles\electrical_fx.pcf”
“hl2mp\particles\particles_manifest.txt”
“hl2mp\particles\weapon_fx.pcf”
“hl2mp\maps\dm_killbox_gravity_gun_ob_particles.txt”
“hl2mp\maps\dm_killbox_gravity_gun_ob.res”

Because when I pack the “data source” says something like.
“C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\gtamike\half-life 2 deathmatch\hl2mp\particles\electrical_fx.pcf”

Other people that download the map will not be able to view the particles files
because my user name is listed in “data source”.

If you want the E.G. files to investegate you can download them here.

Right now I'm guessing I'd need to write up some code that could detect the presence of the L4D/2 authoring tools, and instead of using packing files into the BSP they would need to be moved to some sort of addon subdirectory directory for campaigns. If someone was making a multi-map campaign, it would be up to re-run PackBSP on each mapfile and deal with possible ambiguities.

]]> Comment on Friendly Enums in Java with JNA by Darien http://technofovea.com/blog/archives/815/comment-page-1#comment-304 Darien Fri, 03 Dec 2010 00:47:28 +0000 http://technofovea.com/blog/?p=815#comment-304 I think it would be "routine" if JNA was able to naturally map integers to the correct ordinal in an enum, but it doesn't. What makes this not-so-routine is that it's a way to use a single TypeConverter. You can add a hundred more enums and as long as they implement JnaEnum<T> you don't need to write and wire up a hundred corresponding TypeConverters.
