SDK Update

[Vegeta897]

A Source SDK update is available and will be applied automatically when Steam is restarted. The changes include:

• Simplified directory structure.
• Face Poser application added.
• VConfig added, new tool to select game configurations.
• A "Reset Game Configurations" option has been added to the SDK Launcher.
• The Hammer Options dialog now reflects the selected Current Game.
• Added default Expert compile settings in Hammer.
• Viewmodel sources for Half-Life 2 included.
• Simplified debugging under Steam - no need to copy steam.dll and make steamapp.cfg.
• Added sdk.fgd, containing the entities in the programming tutorial.
• SDK Launcher startup time is much faster.

These issues have been resolved:

• Fixed issue with Hammer not copying .bsp to game directory.
• The <span >buildcubemaps</span> console command should now function correctly.
• The <span >impulse 81</span> command to check cubemap placement should now function correctly.
• Fixed for various cases of path environment variables not working.
• Fixed detail props not being generated by <span >vbsp.exe</span>.

The previous SDK release contained these new features:

• The ability to edit Half-Life 2 levels and custom MODs.
• Includes all the game source code for Half-Life 2 and a sample multiplayer mod (Create a Mod).
• Source code for the compile tools.
• Documentation on programming for the Source Engine.
• Additional documentation on content creation.
• A number of additional sample maps.
• Sample models.
• A Source Engine model exporter for Maya.

FATAL ERROR

Unable to find gameinfo.txt. Solutions:

1. Read http://www.valve-erc.com/srcsdk/faq.html#NoGameDir (Doesn't exist)
2. Run vconfig to specify which game you're working on. (Didn't help)
3. Add -game <path> on the command line where <path> is the directory that gameinfo.txt is in. (Didn't work)

Refresh SDK Content and Reset Game Configurations will fix everything.

I tried the first thing, didn't do anything, but won't the latter completely ruin my HL2 setup?

 

[HollowTipz]

FATAL ERROR
Unable to find gameinfo.txt. Solutions:

. . ***n Face Poser but don't click on the error when it pops up, wait a second till everything calms down, look at the lower RH area, Right-Click in that area and select "Close All", now click on the error, Poser should quit, reload it from the SDK menu.

If this resolved your problem try remembering to close everything before you exit Poser.

It's these other people that are going crazy!

indeed they are. It's amazing how crazy they are getting, they almost need to be restrained, tied down, and administered a sedative.

 

[TheUnkillableDot]

Does this mean there will be custom models for CS:Source and Half-Life 2?

 

[Maxey]

Now this, my friends, is a stupid question!

 

[Dumb Dude]

Does the face poser have so that you can make them say things and have them lip sync to it? I'm currently downloading it but it is taking a while.

What other point purpose would it serve?

 

[RabidJester]

My lord.


Merry Christmas to me.

Zero Point Films begins today.

 

[croperz]

The answer is in that FAQ, and it is a simple one too. Just run the game you want to edit once and it will fix everything

 

[archcommus]

Wow, who else will join me in saying Valve is ridiculously awesome? They practically fixed every issue we were having.

 

[TheUnkillableDot]

Now this, my friends, is a stupid question!

How is this a stupid question?

The SDKs been out for awhile and I havn't seen people putting custom things in the game yet.

I was just wondering if Valve incorperated a way to do so in this update.

 

[CookieCuttah]

You can expect higher quality maps by custom makers now... ((Notice how crappy the maps were that were compiled))

 

[Lemonking]

it is 6 in the Morning,this is good news just got up Its my last School day before Christmas...every thing is perfect....

 

[ship]

Uhhhehehe do I know you?

Nope.
But I've seen you post around and you always entertain me!

 

[skull24]

Face Poser will change everything !
