[QUOTE=AlbertoBC's Desolation gamemode;52739034]I've been advancing progress in Desolation. One of the bigger things is the new dreaming mechanic:
[video=youtube;epVBhKuMuIU]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epVBhKuMuIU&feature=youtu.be[/video]

The video is low res, has glitches and there are some soft cuts (to show multiple "hints"), but you can get the idea.

Basically there are some items that'll appear from time to time that, on use, will reveal a cryptic hint about something random (crafting skill required for a certain item, useful items, etc.). Also, if there's a main symptom present (hunger, thirst, cold, hot, etc.), random words will appear and vanish in the screen revealing ways to counter those symptoms.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Darkomni's Super Monkey Ball gamemode;52796116][video=youtube;4PM0i4HHEpY]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PM0i4HHEpY[/video]

Finally got around to fixing up this gamemode and making it legitimately playable. Built ten levels very quickly with a buddy - it's a lot of fun! Controls exceptionally well up to about 100-120ms ping, but past that, precision navigation is a chore.
Dunno why the camera is a lot more fussy when rolling around on props as opposed to world geometry - it jitters a bit, but nothing that impacts gameplay to any extent.

Building levels is easy peasy - you create them out of props. If there's interest I may release the level saver I've made, so people can have a go at making their own. I'm going to be adding support for moving / animated pieces soon.

If you'd like to try out the prototype you see in this video, the server address is [b]bites.hopto.org:27016[/b][/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=CapsAdmin's PAC3 external imports;52800660]A while back I added the ability to load mdl files externally to PAC3.

This works by adding the model you want along with its assets to a zip file without compression, upload the zip file somewhere and put the url in the editor. Then there's some lua that reads the zip and creates a gma archive with the content.

The difficult part is that I have to "hex" the models to make them not collide with other models. So if you have an archive like this:

materials/models/aw/body.vmt
materials/models/aw/body.vtf
models/aw/Asura.dx80.vtx
models/aw/Asura.dx90.vtx
models/aw/asura.mdl
models/aw/asura_animations.mdl
models/aw/Asura.phy
models/aw/Asura.sw.vtx
models/aw/asura.vvd

it gets turned into this

materials/pac3/123456789/body.vmt
materials/pac3/123456789/body.vtf
models/pac3/123456789/model.dx80.vtx
models/pac3/123456789/model.dx90.vtx
models/pac3/123456789/model.mdl
models/pac3/123456789/model_inc_1.mdl
models/pac3/123456789/model.phy
models/pac3/123456789/model.sw.vtx
models/pac3/123456789/model.vvd

To do this I have to edit the mdl and vmt files in lua and change where it should look up its resources. This can also be loaded on the server so hitboxes and everything is correct.

Some examples of a player model and a non player model:
[img]https://i.imgur.com/NrDFh22.jpg[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/W8uVyGQ.png[/img]

A long with this I've added some material parts to PAC3 that are closer to source engine.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/298kuR5.png[/img]
[img]https://i.imgur.com/5g75v8m.png[/img]

It should cover everything source engine can do, although I've manually renamed some properties to make them group together. I'll probably remove some properties that don't make sense or don't work in source engine at all, etc. I've done a lot already based on feedback from people experimenting.

This is the list of material parameters I've built [url]https://github.com/CapsAdmin/pac3/blob/master/lua/pac3/libraries/shader_params.lua[/url]
It was first semi automatically built based on source engine headers and then later on hand edited based on valve wiki. Maybe it's useful for the wiki?

I'm really happy that this has given some people the motivation to make models and animations in blender and whatnot. It's more of a useful skill in the real world than pac3.[/QUOTE]

Added keys and completely redid how I create the 3D hud. Will probably completely redo it again soon for some performance improvements, but for now I'm glad I was able to get the math right because I barely know dick about Vector and Angle math.

[URL="https://gist.github.com/IlyaShastin/3cddee60307219dcfb67655b02055a85#file-3dpaintablepanel-lua"]Heres how I do it.[/URL]

Pretty much creates a 3D cam and renders a 3D2D cam inside it from all the 3DPaintablePanels. Can be pretty fps impactful if you have alot of them (haven't done too much optimization yet). 2 doesn't seem to do much to my fps. I think a better alternative would be to render to a texture then just put that in the 3D cam... but thats work for another day...

[URL="https://gist.github.com/IlyaShastin/3cddee60307219dcfb67655b02055a85#file-example-lua"]Heres how I make the keys for example.[/URL]

Theres some lazy/dumb shit in there because I was getting tired and probably won't address them until I make a better version. Like how w and h in Paint3D are always ScrW and ScrH... Either way maybe you can find something useful in there.[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]

Currently working on a complete implementation of the Color class.

- The constructor now takes hex strings ("#RGB", "#RGBA", "#RRGGBB", and "#RRGGBBAA") as well as tables (i.e. {r = 1-255, g = 1-255, b = 1-255})
- You can also use Color.FromHSL() and Color.FromHSV()
- New functions so far:

- Color:GetHue()
- Color:GetSaturation()
- Color:GetLightness()
- Color:GetValue()
- Color:GetHSL()
- Color:GetHSV()
- Color:GetHSLV()
- Color:SetHue()
- Color:SetSaturation()
- Color:SetLightness()
- Color:SetValue()
- Color:SetHSL()
- Color:SetHSV()

Planned functions:

Color:Blend(color, frac)
Color:Invert()

Reminds me of the old pull request I did for [url=https://github.com/Facepunch/garrysmod/pull/1202]HSL support[/url] back in 2016. Never heard from the devs tho.

HSV is the superior color format over HSL, however HSL is outright easier/better when you need a human to set and/or understand a color value (e.g. HUD's).
Nothing beats LAB tho

[MysteryPancake]

[QUOTE=wauterboi;52846480]Planned functions:

Color:Invert()

[/QUOTE]
Surely invert wouldn't take very long to implement?

function Invert(color)
    return Color( 255 - color.r, 255 - color.g, 255 - color.b, color.a )
end

I guess it might take longer if you have a separate color system for each type, e.g. hex colors might be harder, but you could just convert everything to RGB

You might find some of my old functions useful (I've cut the functions you already made):

-- Get Luma amount
	function ColorToLuminance(_color)
		return 0.2126 * _color.r + 0.7152 * _color.g + 0.0722 * _color.b
	end

	function COLOR:ToLuminance()
		return ColorToLuminance(self)
	end

-- Color manipulation
	function COLOR:Lighten(num)
		local h,s,l = ColorToHSL(self)
		return HSLToColor(h,s,l + num)
	end

	function COLOR:Darken(num)
		return self.lighten(-num)
	end

	function COLOR:Invert()
		return Color(255 - self.r,255 - self.g,255 - self.b)
	end

	function COLOR:ToGrayscale()
		local H,S,L = self:ToHSL()
		return HSLToColor(H,0,L)
	end

-- Color functions
	function COLOR:IsBright()
		return ColorToLuminance(self) >= 127.5
	end

	function COLOR:IsDark()
		return not self:IsBright()
	end

Luma is useful to determent what text-color should be used.

So here are the functions that are for sure available:

function Color:new() -- can be called by just Color, and with '#RGB', '#RGBA', '#RRGGBB', '#RRGGBBA', a table with the keys 'r', 'g', 'b', and 'a', and your normal 3-4 argument method
function Color:__tostring() -- prints to one line
function Color.__add(leftHand, rightHand) -- adds colors together
function Color.__sub(leftHand, rightHand) -- subtracts colors together
function Color.__mul(leftHand, rightHand) -- multiply by number, table, or color
function Color:GetIntermediateValues() -- used to cache things shared by a lot of the computation ('get') functions - pass the results to the other functions
function Color.GetHue(arg)
function Color.GetSaturation(arg)
function Color.GetLightness(arg)
function Color.GetLuminance(arg)
function Color.GetHSL(arg)
function Color.GetHSV(arg)
function Color.FromHSL(hue, saturation, lightness, alpha) -- creates a new color
function Color.FromHSV(hue, saturation, value) -- creates a new color
function Color:SetHue(newHue) -- Sets the hue to a specific number
function Color:SetSaturation(newSaturation, fallbackHue) -- Sets the saturation to a specific number. fallbackHue is when you set it so low that it no longer has a hue
function Color:SetValue(newValue, fallbackHue) -- same for value
function Color:SetLightness(newLightness, fallbackHue) -- same for lightness
function Color:RotateHue(addHue) - this adds to the hue itself
function Color:Invert() -- this inverts all channels exactly
function Color:Blend(target, frac) -- basically lerp for colors

Also did an override on type() to simulate custom types

Why is the reference value 43? If you set it to 1 you could probably be able to set the write and test masks to 1 as well.
Also, it's faster to cache materials, such as Material( "models/misc/dirtfloor001a" ) in your case, outside a render loop.

Also, there's some really good reference code I used for a stencil thing [URL="https://github.com/MattJeanes/world-portals/blob/master/lua/entities/linked_portal_door/cl_init.lua#L19-L44"]here[/URL].

Of the little documentation/examples I could find on stencils, I was told that the reference value is arbitrary which we would use for the comparisons (essentially, a stencil identifier), and we should avoid reference number 1 as it is used by Garry's glow effect. But documentation on the subject is so scarce that I pretty much believe whatever is told to me :v:
