[cobz0]

hi i got a problem while im adding some new entries "PasswordEntry" to be usable for password "" command like "NameEntry" in VGUI Build Mode Editor looks like theres no way to add new options my version is :

Protocol version 47 Exe version 1.1.2.5 (cstrike) Exe build: 10:56:59 Oct 3 2005 (3266)

is there anyway to i customize my VGUI Options menu in cs1.6?

tnx in advance.

Are you using the Ctrl+Alt+Shift+B or whatever it is that works in Source engine games? It's probably a very outdated version of the VGUI Build Mode Editor so I wouldn't be surprised if editing doesn't work. Can you manually modify the .res files in the resource/ directory to do what you want?

[cobz0]

yes i used VGUI Build Mode Editor with this shortcut key Ctrl+Alt+Shift+B

i can modify in .res but my custom entry will not work example of mine:

"PasswordEntry"
{
    "ControlName"       "CCvarTextEntry"
    "fieldName"     "PasswordEntry"
    "xpos"      "21"
    "ypos"      "64"
    "wide"      "225"
    "tall"      "24"
    "autoResize"        "0"
    "pinCorner"     "0"
    "visible"       "1"
    "enabled"       "1"
    "tabPosition"       "1"
    "paintbackground"       "1"
    "textHidden"        "0"
    "editable"      "1"
    "maxchars"      "31"
    "NumericInputOnly"      "0"
    "unicode"       "1"
}

its only work with this command:

"NameEntry"
{
    "ControlName"       "CCvarTextEntry"
    "fieldName"     "NameEntry"

NameEntry = name "" (in console)

i want to make something like this: PasswordEntry = password "" (in console)

Yeah the version of VGUI that GoldSource uses was probably last updated in 2003 or 2004 so it probably doesn't support PasswordEntry.

[cobz0]

so which version supports i think theres no way ...

[tschumann]

No idea but yeah, without the source code there's probably no way.

Are you sure? Wasn't there a option in Counter-Strike to add a password? Isn't that a PasswordEntry acting thing in VGUI?

[cobz0]

actually not, may i confused about it

I remember there was at the end of options, you set a password so that your younger family members can't play the game.

You can add new elements but they won't do anything without code to handle it. You can't do that since the code would need to be in GameUI.dll, which is closed source.

That's bad to hear. It's weird from the side of Valve, why keep the source code of an old engine, I guess they use some of that code in the source engine though...

[SamVanheer]

A good chunk of what's in GameUI was released with the Alien Swarm SDK, but not everything is in that release, notably the Condition Zero specific UI.

Would be great if someone, somewhere, ported Panorama UI to the old GoldSrc games. XD
