PD HUD icons set by SetCountdownImage input in TF2 are not automatically packed #199

Open 14bit opened 1 year ago

14bit commented 1 year ago

In the mode Player Destruction in TF2, the texture used for the timer in the HUD can be changed mid-round via map logic. This is done by sending the tf_logic_player_destruction entity a SetCountdownImage input, similar to how the SetModel input works. Custom textures specified in this way function, but are not caught by CompilePal's automatic packing.

Can you try this build? https://www.dropbox.com/s/27gwbexhqdbwmeq/Compile%20Pal%20028.1.zip?dl=0

In both this build and the one you gave me in #228, the textures are now caught by CompilePal and packed correctly in most cases, provided they are in the /vgui folder.

Everything below is an edge case that causes the textures to be packed incorrectly:

In some cases, PD HUD textures can be placed in the wrong locations in the .BSP due to the inputs using ../ at the start to specify the file path. In this case, the .vtfs are put in the correct places, but the .vmts have an added vgui/../ at the start. Moving the files to be packed into /vgui, modifying the materials to match, and changing the inputs in hammer to remove the ../hud/ resulted in them packing correctly, so you can probably claim this is "user error."

Below is the setup that does not work:

Here was one of the old inputs in Hammer before I moved the textures: image

Here is what got packed in CompilePal before I moved the textures: CompilePalX_2024-01-18_14-44-54

Here's where the custom textures were in my /custom folder before I moved the textures: image

And here's what it looked like in the final packed .BSP (looking at it with GCFScape) before I moved the textures: GCFScape_2024-01-18_14-40-59

If the relative paths work in game I'd say its probably a bug on my side, this build should fix the issue https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/izhbxvjcj6knk27ezl00l/Compile-Pal-028.2.zip?rlkey=iiekwopnn2tpbbwdu98nu0erp&dl=0 . If it's not too difficult could you move your files back to the hud folder and test it for me?
