This is information related to the current Source SDK main release.

For information about Source SDK Beta test releases, see SDK Beta.

Source SDK Update 11/14/2007

Current Known Issues

  • You must add this to the launch options for the Source SDK in order to edit games that run using the Ep1 version of the Source engine
  -engine ep1
  • The sourcesdk_content folder is not getting updated consistently so we suggest selecting 'Refresh SDK Content' the first time that you run the SDK.
  • When running the Orange Box versions of the 'studiomdl' and 'vtex' you should include '-nop4' on the command line to bypass our Perforce integration with these tools. We will eliminate this need in a subsequent release.
  • The %VProject% env var is not getting dynamically set anymore when you change the mod in the SDK launcher.
  • Cannot create shortcuts to Hammer, Faceposer, and Model Viewer since.

See Source SDK Known Issues or Bugzilla for a more complete list of known issues and workarounds.

Enhancements

SDK Content

  • Map source for Portal level 'testchamber_a_05' is included for reference.
  • In order to support multiple versions of the SDK tools the directory structure underneath 'sourcesdk\bin' has changed.
 'sourcesdk\bin'              - contains binaries needed to run the Source SDK launcher
 'sourcesdk\bin\ep1\bin       - contains Ep1 engine compatible versions of the SDK tools
 'sourcesdk\bin\orangebox\bin - contains Orange Box engine compatible versions of the SDK tools

SDK Launcher

  • SDK Launcher can run either the Orange Box compatible versions of the SDK tools or the Ep1 versions. The newest tools are run by default, but specifying '-engine ep1' in the launch options of the Source SDK tool will have the launcher run the previous versions of Hammer, Faceposer, and Model Viewer.

Bug fixes

Hammer

  • Cubemaps can now be built for maps running in the Orange Box engine.
  • Added Hammer models and materials that were missing in the 11/07 release.
  • Fixed crash when opening VGUI model browser in Ep1 engine version of Hammer.

SDK Launcher

  • Fixed changes to GameConfig.txt being lost randomly

Model Viewer

  • Fixed crash opening 'Load Model' dialog in HLMV with HL2:Episode Two set as the current game.
