Source SDK 2013 B.C.

This is my personal fork of the multiplayer Source SDK.

New Features

Alien Swarm / Left 4 Dead-Style Glows

CBaseAnimating now has methods for adding glows of various colors.

Usage

myEntity->SetGlowEffectColor(1.0, 0.0, 1.0);
myEntity->AddGlowEffect();

Nine-Slice Scaling

By setting PaintBackgroundType on a panel to 3, you can now utilize nine-slice scaling to scale rectangular images while preserving the sizes of corners and sides. This is useful for drawing things like bordered rounded rectangles.

Caveats

Rendering is currently broken if you attempt to draw a rectangle smaller than 2 times the corner size on either axis. This can be remedied by later adding three-slice scaling, but is a minor enough issue that this can wait.

Usage

Here's an example that changes the health display's background from the standard 4-corners rendering to a complex nine-slice texture.

HudHealth
{
    "fieldName"  "HudHealth"
    "xpos"       "16"
    "ypos"       "432"
    "wide"       "102"
    "tall"       "36"
    "visible"    "1"
    "enabled"    "1"

    // enable nine-slice scaling
    "PaintBackgroundType" "3"
    // texture that is scaled
    "Texture1" "vgui/hud/my-texture"
    // texture dimensions - this assumes your border exists at (0, 0) and is 32x32 pixels
    // these can be omitted if the whole image is the atlas you want to draw
    "TextureBorderX"     "0"
    "TextureBorderY"     "0"
    "TextureBorderWide"  "32"
    "TextureBorderTall"  "32"
    // this defines the number of pixels from the edge of the image to not scale
    // setting this to 4 means 4x4px corners, 4px wide vertical sides, and 4px tall horizontal sides
    "TextureBorderWeight" "4"

    "text_xpos" "8"
    "text_ypos" "20"
    "digit_xpos" "50"
    "digit_ypos" "2"
}
