Writing my first mod

[Sandman]

Well, not really, but it still doesn't work! I bought MSVC .Net 2003 so that I could compile and run the HL2 source code, however, after a successful compilation ( i only changed RPG_SPEED in the weapon_rpg.cpp file to 400 as in the "first mod" tutorial ), the game gives me an error...

Here's a console dump of what happens when I try to load d1_canals_01.

Any help on getting this to run would be greatly appreciated, as I am eager to begin learning how to write code for games.

You didn't compile the Client dll.

Thanks. I thought it would compile both projects when I hit build. I'll try compiling both this time.

Ah! It works. Great stuff. I will be doing a lot of reading in the next few days about modifying other parts of the source code and understanding how some parts of this stuff work.

No problem.
