Visual Studio 2010 is the best choice for Source. You can use the free C++ Express edition.
Alien Swarm conversion
Converting the Alien Swarm server project to VS2010 will lead to an "invalid characters in path" error. To fix it, open game\server\swarm_sdk_server.vcproj with a text editor and delete "' $File" from line 2232.
Debugging
- Follow the instructions for fixing debug compiles in VS2008, which apply here as well.
- Right click on the client and server projects in VS and go to Properties > Configuration > General. Change Target Name to client and server respectively.
Fixing Warnings
If you want to remove the "precompiled header" warnings seen during a full compile, open these files in your client project and move #include "cbase.h" up to the first line:
- hud_locator.cpp
- hud_credits.cpp
- hud_flashlight.cpp
Compiling Under Linux
VS 2010 introduces a new project file format (.vcxproj) which is not compatible with the SDK's VprojToMake tool. A third-party update adding support is available.
