New SDK Information
11/4/2004 15:33 PST | Half-Life 2 Editing | by
DarkDruid
In the last steam update a file was included that displays what all will be in the SDK for Half-Life 2. Here it is:


Source Software Developer's Kit

The Source SDK is a set of tools and resources used to create custom content, modifications to existing games, or even completely new games using Source engine technology. Anyone can download and try the SDK, but please note that it is designed for advanced users.

Included:
  • Hammer
  • Half-Life Model Viewer
  • Face Poser
  • Scene Manager
  • Various content compiling tools
  • Documentation
  • Source code and examples

For community support and an online knowledgebase, please visit the Valve Editing Resource Center (VERC). The SDK will be updated over time with new resources, source code, or examples. As with Steam games, these updates will be delivered by Steam automatically.
So, expect the SDK soon!!!

I'd imagine they'll hold it back until the steam network calms down a bit after the initial HL2 release. [addsig]

I'd hope they get it out prior to release...but thats wishful thinking. I'm finding myself opening and closing steam every now and then today in the vain hope that it might show itself on the games list.

I believe it's been released now... Assuming you purchased HL2 via Steam. Bastards.

That thing is a helluva lot more demanding than the older hammers - even my 3200XP with 512mb of RAM struggles! At the moment the editor is quite a bit more different than I had expected but it shouldn't take too long to become accustomed to it. Everyone really ought to make themselves some batch files as using the built in compiler and keeping hammer open in the background will waste quite a lot of your system resources I imagine!
