Hi Mark,

The docs aren't quite finished yet, but I'll send them to you as soon as they are ready. I'll also add you to the SDK list so you get more info on the SDK as soon as it's ready.

Thanks,
Rick Ellis
Valve

Subject: Just wondering..


Any chance of getting the documentation for the HL2/Source SDK or map editor for sometime this Christmas is there!?

These holidays are a perfect time for me/other people to learn some of the things needed to make our mods come alive come release.


And MERRY CHRISTMASS TO Y'ALL AT VALVE :)
Hope you have a nice break


Mark
 
Atleast here is the screenshot of the email I got! :)

What do you mean the Hype machine? Where's the hype?
 
Its getting closer and closer to release date..New year newer to Sdk.woot! cant wait
 
Yes, and the game is also comming out "soon"....




Lets hope this "soon" is in the proximity of days, not months.. :cat:
 
Ragdoll physics = Hitman 1 was the creator.

No. Ragdoll physics are older than some of you might think. I've seen a Playstation (1) game with ragdoll physics.

what game? Now you make my curious! :)
 
Trepasser had ragdoll physics. I remember there was a big thread about ragdoll physics a while ago. But now im curious, what playstation game had ragdoll physics?
 
I wouldn't expect to see either the SDK or the full game for at least a couple of months... But we're definitely on the home stretch.
 
Also, I swear that one of the Marvel Vs. Capcom games had ragdoll, or maybe it was the fact I was drunk nearly everytime I played it.
 
That 2D stick man game had ragdoll physics and that was released years ago.
 
eaah yeah so back on topic...

about damn time for some good news!

...but I think the word soon means something diffrent than we all think..

Ah well... maybe in 3 months :\

Thrasher: Skate and Destroy

LOL that game was awesome,just for the fact that everytime u fell ur body would get twisted around in so many impossible and just stupid looking ways...and youd like flail around for 30 secs before u stopped.
 
assuming this actually pans out... Hurray!

But my main question is, what exactly is going to BE in the SDK. Surely it won't be like the first one and include all the models, textures, etc... It'd be kind o' silly to release all o' that stuff before the game is officially released :p. (or am I completely mis-remembering the original sdk? I can't remember if that stuff was included or if you had to unpack the games files... )

And is there going to be any way to test your creations before the game is out? Or do you just code away for a few months, and do all your debugging at the end? :D
 
no probably no models or textures with the sdk, all those will be on the game cd, it would be stupid to keep so secretive about the game and the characters, and story then release an early sdk with all the models and characters there.

wtf is SDK?
Click to expand...

Software Developers Kit

its a package of tools to make mods etc.

It mostly contains Hammer (to make maps etc.), 3D programm (to make models and animations etc.) and lots of docs and resources :)

I wrote rick an e-mail to this effect yesterday... I'm assuming he'll get back to me on monday.
 
I'm guessing Rick hasn't got back to you yet, Spiffae? ^_^

Either way, this is still offically a rumor until we get word otherwise, so it wouldn't be the best idea telling each and everyone you know.

A few things, mostly about Steam, nothing HL2 or SDK(HL2) related.

Said i wouldn't forward on the Steam stuff though, sorry :)

Erghhhhh.... I thought I'd forgotten that game and it's evil, evil music... and gameplay that was about as fun as bursting your nutsack and its contents with a swift blow from a fiery anvil.

I'll never play a skating game ever again. It became tedious about 2 levels into Tony Hawk 1 on the PS1 about 6 years ago. Or was it 7 years ago? I can't remember now.
