Source SDK Update 01/24/2008
Getting the Source SDK Beta
To run this beta version you will need to add -beta srcsdk0122 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 -beta srcsdk0122 right after Steam.exe. Please report any issues you find in Bugzilla.
Enhancements
SDK Launcher
- There is now a drop list that allows the user to switch between engine versions. No need to specify engine version as a launch option.
SDK Source Code
- Modders can now create single player and multi-player mods based in the HL2:Episode Two source code when the engine version is set to The Orange Box.
- It is still possible to create mods based on HL2:Episode One using the legacy version of the Source Engine.
Faceposer
- New menu option allows the user to build a scenes.image file. This allows users to add custom scenes to Orange Box games.
Hammer
- Two new lighting preview modes are available. 'Note:' 3D Ray-traced Lighting Preview can cause Hammer to run slowly for complicated maps.
