Happy And Important News!

[Jorg40]

This is happy news for me and for you modders out there! I've been working like an maniac to get Express Beta to work with the SDK (again...) After looking through some coding pages, I ended up at Microsofts homepage, then I went to the Coding4Fun section. There I found out that Valve and Microsoft were working close together on an Express version that compiles the Source TM SDK.

This is what I read:

Quote from Coding4Fun

Which C++ compiler should I use to build mods with the Source SDK?
Valve suggests that you use Visual C++ .NET 2003. It's possible to get other compilers to work, but your results may vary. Today, Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition will not compile Valve's currently shipping SDK. But fear not! Microsoft is working closely with Valve to enable Visual C++ Express to work with a future Source SDK update. This should be available within the next month or two - check back here for the latest status.

How do I get the Source SDK?
The Source SDK is invoked via the Steam application when you install Half-Life 2. When you start a new mod, the latest version of the SDK is downloaded to your computer.

I have so many more questions! Like how do I add a new weapon? How do I create a new map? Can I create myself as a new character in the game?
We knew you'd have lots of questions. But we won't try to answer all of them here, because there are a lot of GREAT community sites already devoted to Half-Life 2 modding. That's why we've compiled a list of some of the best community sites, along with links to Valve's official developer site. See below to discover how you can quickly get started with a tutorial or connect with other modders. Have fun!


This is good news for me, if I just hang on with coding for a while and map instead it will all come together at the end. And this is good news for coders that cant afford .Net 2003.

Happy coding in a few months! :imu:

[Zaffino]

[Jorg40]

lol, first you say that you dont understand and then you suddenly just understand? watevah...

This is EXTREMELY good news, i think...

 

[Zaffino]

i said i was just kidding if u read my second post correctly, i was just bored the first time so i posted something stupid.

 

[Jorg40]

calm down n00b...

lets get back to topic

 

[Black Mesa corp]

please dont abuse eachother, keep it calm :farmer:

 

[Shodan]

I just decided to stop learning Vb6 and move to C++, firstly because its what I need to code stuff for mods and secondly because its quite powerfull, you can't go far wrong by learning some programming skills.

was just bored the first time so i posted something stupid.

Well don't.

Don't make stupid posts or threads, its called trolling and it pisses people off.

 

[Salad22]

Well I've heard from valve that they are going to release another mod of Aftermath

There you can make your own maps, including night levels and then simple just play it.
Haven't heard from valve from a long time now, couldn't ask more about it, But I sure hope it's true..

 

[63]

Thank god for interlopers...

 

[Zaffino]

n00b?

calm down n00b...

lets get back to topic

LOL look how many posts i have compared to you, and i bet u havent beat HL2 yet so dont even call me a noob kthx.

 

[63]

Behold Zaffino's 27 posts!

 

[G-Dub]

Ahhh stop fighting! :afro:

 

[Zaffino]

srry but i dont like being called a noob when i was explaning myself and yes OMG 28 posts =D and i just joined yesterday...

 

[Jorg40]

LOL look how many posts i have compared to you, and i bet u havent beat HL2 yet so dont even call me a noob kthx.

its impossible to call me a noob, I joined last year, but I havent been here much. I played trhough HL2 december 2004. Then I started modding for HL1 then, after that I started coding for HL2, thats why I am so happy for this that they come with this great offer.

Stop fighting now n00b and stop fighting with me, you will only loose.

 

[63]

yeah dude, you'll loose badly!

 

[Zaffino]

lol ok i see, ur not mature enough to stop calling ppl noobs and u continue to piss me off, so u wanna go 1v1 in HLDM , or even CSS or just even CS because you will lose and i have more posts than you , dont make excuses so go back in ur igloo make some mod that no 1 will play except you and then u will realise that your a total failure and shouldnt even have called some 1 a noob without a logical reason other than to make youself seem bigger than other people.

and btw i didnt start it u called me a noob first and learn to take a joke and dont be so stuck up just cuz u think you can make mods.

 

[Jorg40]

more post means more power? if that so I would have king on most of the forums I am registered in...

noob is an easy word for beginner or newbie, that means you have less knowlegde or argue with people. Anyone can use the word n00b, even admins. And igloo? We have houses in Norway, doesnt seems like you are updated.

 

[Zaffino]

i dont think u live in a house, im pretty sure u live in a igloo, and what about that 1v1 in HLDM hmmm? wanna go? see whos the n00b then hmm ?

 

[63]

Noob is the derogative version. Newb refers to a new person.

 

[Jorg40]

doesnt matter for me, where do you live?

 

[63]

Me? Vancouver.

 

[Jorg40]

well, actually I meant Zaffy.

Before you start throwing words around like noob, try writing properly, unless some of the keys are missing on your keyboard, use the long one with the arrow pointing up, it makes capital letters, also you're not on your mobile, so type full words please.

 

[Zaffino]

ok

[Jorg40]

Anyway, M$ said they are going to get this finished in 2 months or so, hopefully my mod will start for real then, or maybe it will start today if a coder shows up...

 

[Jintor]

So much n00b fighting...

I dont' care whether you have 23 posts or 1,00049. If you typ3 lke thz u dsrv t0 b3 sh0t.

 

[Jorg40]

Well, I was trying to end the conversation...

But he kept it going...

 

[Reaktor4]

and this is in the hl2 forum because?

 

[Zaffino]

cool i kept it going, it wouldnt have gone this far if u didnt call me a noob learn some respect for ppl with difrerent opinions and dont take everything so seriously...jeez ppl these days cant take a joke

OK its over im done posting in this thread, i refuse to keep arguing when its 1. Immature 2. Getting on my nerves and yours

3. Most likely pissing off all the moderators 4. Wasting my time.

GL with modding tho and learn to take a joke
