=== Getting the Source SDK Beta ===
== Source SDK 2013 update (7/25 - 8/5/2025) ==
To run this beta version you will need to add <code>-beta sdk</code> to your command line when you start Steam. This can be done by opening up the Windows shortcut you use to launch Steam and adding <code>-beta sdk</code> right after <code>Steam.exe</code>. Please report any bugs or issue you find [[SDK_Beta_Bugs|in this article]].
=== Multiplayer ({{tf2branch|1}}) ===
; TF2 fixes{{colon}}
: Fix Wrangler shield not moving with sentrygun
; All{{colon}}
: Fix point_camera transmit state in multiplayer
: Fix CVoiceStatus::UpdateServerState not sending the correct vban state from the client


'''Important:''' You should also disable Steam from running automatically when Windows starts, to prevent it from running the non-beta SDK. To disable Steam from running automatically:
== Updated source code (as of 8/13/2025) ==
# Open the Steam window.
*Source 2013 Singleplayer: [https://github.com/ValveSoftware/source-sdk-2013/tree/singleplayer Source SDK 2013 GitHub repo].
# Choose '''Settings''' from the '''File''' menu.
**{{Note|SP code has not been yet updated since 2014.}}
# Click on the '''Interface''' tab.
*TF2 branch (newer Source 2013 MP): [https://github.com/ValveSoftware/source-sdk-2013/tree/master Source SDK 2013 GitHub repo].
# Uncheck the '''Run Steam when Windows starts''' option.


{{note|Be sure to run the game you wish to edit ''before'' running the SDK, to make sure you have the latest updates.}}

'''Visual Studio 2005 Support''' [http://developer.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1 Bugzilla]
* SDK now ships with solution files, project files, and static LIBs for both Visual Studio 2003 and Visual Studio 2005. There were also several code changes to accomodate Visual Studio 2005.
* When you create a new mod the solution and project files for both compilers are copied to the target directory. All Visual Studio 2003 solution and project files are of the form ''project''-2003.vcproj or ''solution''-2003.sln. Similarly, all Visual Studio 2005 solution and project files are of the form ''project''-2005.vcproj or ''solution''-2005.sln.
 
'''Spectate Mode Added to HL2MP'''
== Bug fixes ==
 
=== Faceposer fixes ===
 
* Faceposer Crashes When When Trying to Extract or Add a .txt File [http://developer.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6 Bugzilla]
 
* Fixed bug where visemes (the face shapes used by phoneme processing) would be connected to the wrong parts of the face depending on the order that models were loaded.
 
=== SDK Code Fixes ===
 
* Added player 'ready' command in HL2MP. If mp_readyrestart is enabled, then the round can be restarted if every player says 'ready'
* In HL2MP objects no longer hide tripwire slams. If an object is placed on top of a tripwire slam, it explodes, mirroring the behavior of det-pack slams.
* Scoreboard no longer changes during intermission, in the case a player is standing next to a grenade or flaming barrel when the round ends.
* Fixed ragdoll velocity extraction.
* Fixed 3d skybox always rendering, even if not visible. added "r_3dsky 2", which forces the 3d skybox to always render.
* Fixed about 15 cases of off by one errors in iterating from 1 to gpGlobals->maxClients in the game and client code.
* Lag compensation added back into HL2MP. It was mistakenly removed in the previous SDK release.

Screenshot of the now-deprecated "Source SDK" launcher.
If you see this page when you first open the "Source SDK" (AppID 211) launcher, please note that the standalone Source SDK tool/launcher is no longer updated, and does not support Source 2013 and Team Fortress 2 branch games.
The deprecated Source SDK tools are provided to create content-based mods for Source 2009 or earlier, and to obtain source code & create or maintain legacy mods built on Source SDK Base 2006 and Source SDK Base 2007.

Many Source 2013 and Team Fortress 2 branch games are usually shipped with Source SDK preinstalled, located in the 🖿\bin folder. To launch the SDK applications (Hammer, HLMV, etc...) manually on Source 2013 games, see the SDK Installation - Source 2013 (SteamPipe) & TF2 branch section for a list of applications and their executables.
