Talk:Source SDK Bugs

Any indication on when we will be getting an updated codebase~?
This isn't really a bug, or bug-related, but I thought I'd point out that the flag model for DoD:S has submodels for the US Army Flag, the Wehrmacht Flag, and the good ol' Union Jack... makes one wonder. --Bwmathis 17:44, 22 Nov 2005 (PST)

vvis.exe - Unable To Locate Component

(Posting this in Talk 'cause it may just be I'm an idiot...)

The Beta SDK seems to have broken my cheap and cheerful map compilation batch files - vbsp will run fine, but vvis and vrad come up with 'Unable to Locate Component: This application has failed to start because Steam.dll was not found' error messages.

Here's one of my batch files:

set mapdir=c:\Documents and Settings\Adam Foster\HL2

"%sourcesdk%\bin\vbsp" -low -nolinuxdata "%mapdir%\%1.vmf"
"%sourcesdk%\bin\vvis" -low "%mapdir%\%1.bsp"
"%sourcesdk%\bin\vrad" -low "%mapdir%\%1.bsp"

copy "%mapdir%\%1.bsp" "%vproject%\maps"

I can compile maps through Hammer without problems (beyond the usual "Hammer being an awful front-end for compiling maps" bug and a new "tries copying into a non-existent directory at the end" issue) so I'm a bit puzzled as to what's going on. Am I doing something blatantly wrong here? ;-) --Cargo Cult _{(info, talk)} 14:01, 23 Nov 2005 (PST)

Don't you need either a -ldr, -hdr, or -both option on vvis and/or vrad now? I might have read something like that somewhere. —Maven ^(talk) 14:09, 23 Nov 2005 (PST)

Added it to vrad (vvis came up with a parameter usage list instead of its error!) but to no effect. Here's what I get when vvis runs, for example:

C:\Documents and Settings\Adam Foster\HL2>"c:\steam\steamapps\BALEETED!\sourcesdk\bin\vvis" -low "c:\Documents and Settings\Adam Foster\HL2\metastasis_2.bsp"

Valve Software - vvis.exe (Sep 7 2005)

Can't load c:\steam\steamapps\afoster@hylobatidae.org\sourcesdk\bin\filesystem_steam.dll.Can't load c:\steam\steamapps\afoster@hylobatidae.org\sourcesdk\bin\filesystem_steam.dll.

... Then it exits. Same for vrad. As I said, vbsp runs fine... :-/ --Cargo Cult _{(info, talk)} 14:26, 23 Nov 2005 (PST)

The only other thing I can think of is to run it in Hammer once, then copy the command line it uses. —Maven ^(talk) 14:34, 23 Nov 2005 (PST)
