I thought they were going to patch this but never happened. I tried replacing the scripted hud res file a long while back with resizable text elements but never could het it to work.

I've just uploaded the first release of my path recorder, perfect for recording intro cams, also good for vehicles. You record, then edit your movements, when you're done, chat !save, and you get a QC,VMF instance, and SMD. All you need to do is compile and slap it in your map.

Some more features to come. chat !help for a more complete documentation (though still needs some work).

Bugaboos, smoothing the angles can take too long, and Squirrel kills the function call. Any convar to override the timelimit? Also, DebugLines are weird, they don't want to render if they are not in view when created. Let me know what you think!

Basically you record, your movement, then play it back and you can drive the path (pitch,yaw,roll) or X,Z, smooth as needed. You can also do path selections.

Quick instructions.
Melee, starts/stops record.
Attack, starts/stops playback

chat commands
!help (serious, read it)
!smooth (smooth the path)
!smootha (smooth only angles)
!smootho (smooth only vertices)
!draw (draw the path)
!name (set the model name, files go under ems/modelname.mdl/
!save (generate qc,mdl,vmf)

I found a work around, specifying it in the mode file in the cvar section

Thinking about it, using MOTD to load the help file for the Entity Group Tool seems much better than printing the help in chat.

So I try it and it didn't appear to work, just loads the default motd.

In my code, OnActivate, I issue

Well, it turns out, it half works, if I issue a "kill", on the second load, it will display correctly, is there any way around this?

Added chat command: !run, which will save entities and reload the map with the mutation you are editing.

Ah, Thanks Kerry

I've added an update, BETA only at the moment. The tool now saves the entity files to ems/maps, and the game now actually will look for an entities file there if it doesn't exist under maps (Thanks Kerry!)

So now you can rapidly switch back and forth between the tool and your mutation without copying and pasting the entities.txt file

Maybe we're getting the model files for the l4d2 common infected, that would be great.

I don't think the last few updates got topics at all. I totally missed the custom population update

Don't quote me on this but I believe it's getting an update
