sdk update

Just so that you know, there is a new sdk update. Takes a bloody age to do though - mine is still on 35%!

YAY! SDK updated! Don't know if its the full version though.

Better be the damn full version! Eye hope that QCeyes is in this time, and some other stuff like face poser.

YES, finnaly i can play HL2 properly! On my new NOT INTERNET CONNECTED pc :biggrin:

(Of course ill have to connect for about 20 hours while steam sets itself up) but i dont care, yay for my new PC.

Decreased loading times sound cool too, there arent that long anyway.

Although, this is not really an editing thread, it should be in general banter.

Hey, what the? it finnished downloading and nothing has changed, and im still getting the problem when i switch between games in the SDK (For example, CS to HL2) Hammer thinks im still editing CS, and will not change to HL2, at all, i dont know whats going on, im stuck in CS mode?! :S

"Simplified debug-launch process for MOD developers. MOD developers no longer need to place a config file in their directory" Haha, there goes 40% of the total n00b questions.

That took 25 minutes with broadband? what the hell?

loves his university ethernet connection :biggrin:

Barely an update to Source SDK, more of an update for Steam over
all. Just decreased the load times for Steam and HL2, plus a few
fixes for a bunch of the games, and the SDK.

WRONG PLACE TO PUT THIS POST, EITHER PUT IT IN NEWS OR IN THE GENERAL BOARD.THIS IS FOR EDITING QUESTIONS ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TOTAL NOOB DISASTER

That's silly though, there's no place to put comments about HL2 Editing, only questions?

Because of the system we have here, the editing section only really
works for questions. If you want to discuss something editing related,
such as a new update to the SDK or a new game's level editor, then feel
free to do it in the general banter forum. I guess for now there aren't
enough non-question editing discussions to merit having a dedicated
forum.

points to the mod

Right! :biggrin:

O M G

TOTAL NOOB DISASTER!!!

sheesh, you people need to know when to bash newbies before you just start doing it with reckless abandon

...and Nanodeath, get yourself an avatar. You've posted enough already without one. Any avatar will do, just look at GBallblue

Yeah, just look at me.

Riiight.

Didn't see any update yesterday for the SDK...if anything, it's been there for at least a few days.

Nanodeth how do you have more snarkmarks than me when I've been here longer and have more maps posted, and have more posts?

hey, assclown, this IS the general board!!!!

Before you call me an assclown you shold know this wa in the Half-Life
2 editing board before a moderator moved it, so I wont demote myslef by
calling you an assclown, but I will say that you should READ THE ENTIRE
THREAD before making assumptions.

I DID read the whole thread. I never knew that we moved threads around here. Guess I'm the assclown this time eh? :rolleyes:

Nanodeth how do you have more snarkmarks than me when I've been
here longer and have more maps posted, and have more posts?

He has a tutorial under his belt. My SDK updated in under a minute, the servers must have been stressed earlier.

My SDK updated in like 3 minutes, on satellite connection. What content server do you all get? I always seem to get 21 or 18...

I just wonder if I REALLY have to download the custom tools to use the extra option with RAD... is it too much to ask that they fix it soonish?

LOL

Commando, the default tools use extra mode by default, so selecting
extra results in an error because there is no "extra" command. The
custom tools will just NOT run extra mode by default, and therefore
when you run using "extra" it will put them into extra mode. As far as
I can tell, there is currently bugger all reason to bother using the
custom tools.

I was wondering why RAD wouldn't run at all with the extra parameter.
And since Normal looked about as good as it can get I couldn't complain.

Why can't we all just get along?

I just did the SDK update and GODDAMN MOTHERf**kIN PIECE OF s**t HAMMER WON'T f**kIN WORK!!!!!!!!!!!

[size=24]I HATE STEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!! [/size]

GODDAMNIT!!!!!!

Calm down and explain the problem, that way you might get some help.

This update also allowed the use of HL2 textures in CSS.

Okay, I'm calm now... It says that it can't find a steam.dll. The same thing it will tell you if you try to start HAMMER without steam running. I got it working now. You can no longer have a HAMMEr shortcut on your desktop. You have to go thru that gay SDK window that takes forever to load.

Nickel, the same problem just happened with me. It's easy to fix, though.

Go to the Steam game menu, and pick the Source SDK one. Let the menu come up, and then just run Hammer as usual.

I don't think Valve intended people like us to run Hammer from a desktop shortcut. :wink:

Why can't they just let us do what we want? lol Will it REALLY hurt them to let me have a desktop shortcut?
Thanks for your help!

Actually, the desktop shortcut works after you run it through the SDK menu. I suppose it just needed to update itself.
