@@user-zt3hc5qj2u I agree

try getting that to compile using todays visual studio

@@NoahGooder pretty sure it's been done

@@Pinsplash well I guess i need todo better research I just remember needing to play what amounted to visual studio musical chairs where I had to uninstall all versions of visual studio and install them oldest first at the time. you basicly had to install 2013 then 2014 then 2016 etc

Sounds like some Scp shit

the game also crashes when niko wants to go bowling

bruh my youtube crashed when i clicked your pfp

@@Blurns one of the reasons taking dog's ball to the end of the game is hard

And that one is intentional, I believe.

TheZZAZZGlitch does some super interesting technical content like this about pokemon (mainly gen 1 and 2), would recommend, they make some of the best content on youtube imo

Retro Game Mechanics Explained is another good channel along those lines

You sneaky bastard! You commented about not being able to find technical breakdowns of glitches so that you could get recommendations for channels where they do technical breakdowns of glitches!

Speaking of, shounic is a good channel for this kind of content. He makes videos on TF2, the other, other source spaghetti game made by valve. Given the nature of the game, he tends to put a little bit of humor into his videos, even if the joke is relegated to the thumbnail.

oh, that explains this one time when a server admin was pissed at me because my voice was high pitched because I was still a kid and the same thing happened.

I have good memories of using Ent_delete on people in portal 2 multiplayer which WOULD crash the game iirc

​@@TheQuestionInAnswer This would be a good suggestion but I've already watched all of that, too 😭

I mean, they are both Valve games, so very similar pasta dishes being made in the code department.

I am pretty sure that shounic made a video about comments just like the "fixme" comment in the tf2 source code

Valve don't clean up their code very well, HL2 included. The Sniper has an unfinished and unused penetration mechanic lying around and the Strider is still waiting on a proper right leg stomp animation with commented out bits for stomping with the right foot sometimes. (The Strider model does have a right stomp anim, but it's more of a placeholder. It does not mesh with their inverse kinematics and does not return into the idle position, ending immediately on hit.)

@@beingsactual Oh yea Strider stomp was looking so nice in the e3 demo !!

@@MolkoKillStyle The whole Strider stomp mechanic is executed on an impressive level. It uses a smooth animation in conjunction with continuosly running inverse kinematics, temporarily takes over the left foot IK to manually designate it a new target so the Strider aims directly at the victim and then uses ragdoll trickery with an attacment point on the model to do the impaled corpse. The only caveat is that the Strider can only do this with the left foot, despite being originally intended to be able to use either front foot for it. I guess Valve just decided it wasn't worth the hassle, making a right stomp anim and revisiting the code to fully implement the choice of attack, seeing how Striders rarely engage multiple humanoids up close at once in HL2. The Strider as a whole is a technological marvel of Source capabilities and ingenuous spaghetti code. I mean, they aren't even a ground unit - they're technically a flying NPC using a lot of physics and animation trickery to convincingly sell the illusion of being a hulking stomper.

There are so many useless unnecessary assert(0)'s in the code. I saw one issue on github related to vehicles code and removing assert would prevent crash with no bad side effects.

Hmm, I can't seem to replicate what you're saying, but I think what you describe is actually a result of a level transition happening without the player being "visible" to a certain entity related to level transitions. As a result, the player entity is not "saved" through the transition, which locks your view to some default position (likely 0,0,0).

Damn! The glitch with the tank has always bugged me, since no one knows what I mean or why it happens! Glad someone else has noticed it. I need to press my interact key when on top of the Bradley for it to happen to me though. On my first playthrough I thought it was just some not implemented system for taking control of the turret or something, but that seems unlikely, especially since we later just find a tank with an open hatch you can control.

When scout mains reach 10000 hours in the game, they gain the ability to become impervious to death just so long as they are within über stuffing distance of a medic with more than 70% über.

Left 4 Dead 2 has a similar bug on the Dark Carnival finale. When the finale is triggered, it shuts a door behind you and deletes any players and NPCs stuck behind it rather than using a kill plane. Speedrunners use this to kick bots from the server forever by incapacitating them at the start then triggering the finale. And on the (peer to peer network) Xbox 360 version, you can crash the entire server if the host gets deleted.

I'm pretty sure that the issue there is some iffy physics calculation resulting in the player's position being set to NaN. In "floating point numbers" (the way computers usually handle numbers that can have a fraction) you have three main kinds of values: real values (+7.0, -11.5, +2678.027891), the infinities (+infinity and -infinity), and NaN (standing for "not a number"). Any invalid math operation (like 0.0 / 0.0 or infinity - infinity) will return NaN, and any math operation involving NaN will also return NaN. You can think of it as "poisoning" any expression it appears in, to signal that the whole thing is invalid. So if your position ever gets set to NaN, there is almost no movement option (short of a straight-up teleport) that can move you away from that "position". When forcibly converting NaN to an integer or some other system that doesn't support weird float values, it will usually be treated as zero, so that's probably why your viewpoint appears to be 0,0,0 (the map origin).

The fact that HL2, a game that will soon be two decades old, is its own entire genre on youtube, is funny. But I'm glad it is.

Probably

Its likely, the minigun and rocket launcher occupy the same slot I think, so maybe the game tries to restore your weapon inventory after the mission is over, but it wasn't implemented properly.

Ur weird

This can be both good and bad. It's convenient for the player and seems like a good idea initially to let the game continue, but if the code stopping there results in other code malfunctioning as well, it can lead to even more instability. As I was working on UI code in my Unity game, one of the null reference exceptions caused some initialization code to be skipped, which then resulted in an infinite loop somewhere else in the code, which then propagated to the C++ side of Unity and caused Windows to first (seemingly) run out of GDI handles, making the taskbar and other parts of the system flicker, then all windows' flags to reset, making otherwise hidden internal windows appear (much like how you can make them visible using tools like Process Hacker). It was very funny to realize this after looking at the logs.

On this note I want to mention that theres C++ native code and C# scripts. Any native exception will crash unity, but C# one, as you mentioned, wont.

But, in that case, wouldn't you just be able to reuse the physobj instead of creating new one?

@@user-lj9dy2he4i potentially yes, but you have to remember this is the source spaghetti monster we're dealing with here if reusing the same physobj was a possibility, why would they need to delete them at all? even if they wanted to stop using that particular physobj for that particular object, and just recycle that physobj instead of remaking a new one later, surely they still wouldnt even need to delete it then either?

@@Templarfreak you could be right though. However, I also figured it might be a measure to reduce overall memory used, as destroying physobj most likely deallocates it

@@user-lj9dy2he4i right, that's what i was suggesting in OP. i was also just pointing out a potential reason why it _has_ to be done for stability reasons and not just memory usage reasons, tho

@@Templarfreak I mean, if they were to reuse it, you don't have to recreate it. Why would that produce a leak?

OMG BLUE WHAT A GMOD REFERENCE

My thought was that it was supposed to move to an initial waypoint somewhere around the trigger (via the input mentioned at 6:05), but if you move too fast, that waypoint gets unloaded. Since the helicopter cannot access that unloaded waypoint, it doesn't know where to go, and it crashes. This seems like a very far-fetched explanation, though, and I don't think that's what's actually happening here. Seems more like something that would happen in Mario 64 than in Source.

It does. I tried to do an Airboat% run and that was the major problem in my "runs".

What an oversight! How could they not think of the airboat problems in portal!

Do you know how he managed to run HL2 through VSCode? I'd like to debug Civilization IV in the same manner so I can mod it. I have the source code, too.

@@nooneinparticular3370 Its visual studio not vscode

This crash on d1_trainstation_02 map does indeed happen. The timing on this is very tight, though as metrocop has to be hit after the trigger in the trashcan is triggered by the held can, but before the cop says "Alright, you can go."

I've only done some serious programming lately. before starting this channel, i spent about 3 years basically rewriting source engine documentation which involved a lot of in-game testing and looking at code. before that i took two programming classes in high school and knew the bare basics of html css python and java.

I also want to know, where is the code from? If not from the leak?
