SDK Feedback Thread

[Ritual-MikeR]

We've got a preliminary release of the SDK available on Steam now.

If you experience any problems, please post them to this thread so we can prioritize our tasks for the next couple of days.

I loaded SiN.
I then loaded the SDK, reset game config and refresh SDK Content and start Hammer. As soon as I hit File > New it crashes.

So far I am unable to use the SDK :(

Cassius58, kriols: Do either of you have HL2? If so, can you try launching Hammer from the Source SDK and see if you get the same result?

VoKuHiLa_Man: Do you have the USK release?

I live in Norway, so I have the English version.
HL2's Hammer works for me.

[Cassius58]

MikeR,

I do have HL2

Hammer on the Source SDK works just perfect.

I do not get a mount system error it simply crashes.

I tried the SiN SDK model viewer and it works perfectly and was able to browse through your models so it's really hammer from your SDK that has a problem.

Hi there!
I got the german version.
The SDK is nowhere to be found in my steam
games list, already tried logout/login, but no change.
Is there another shortcut to enable the SDK download?

In this case, it's a problem that we need to finish working out with Valve. It's a technical hiccup, but you will have the full SDK.

[Cassius58]

How about the simple crash?

Will this be worked out soon too??

Thanks

[Cucciolopeloso]

I started the SDK and it says it can't find gameinfo.txt in the default folder...

[Cassius58]

you need to have started SiN at least once

Once its done you hit Reset game config and refresh sdk content then you can start hammer.

[Cucciolopeloso]

Maybe is it because I never started sin after the update?

[mongis]

All I get is 'The game is currently unavailable'..

Is that supposed to happen? Because of updating, maybe?

Nevermind, I got it now.. But I too now get crashes on new file/open file. Weird thing is I didn't get this the first day.. New/Open would work fine, but Hammer would crash about 40% of the time when I returned from testing out a map in-game..

(I have the English version)

We're trying to get a consistent repro for the Hammer "New Map" crash internally so we can get it fixed.

The only way that we've been able to reproduce it is with old driver residue around, so uninstalling then reinstalling the video drivers fixed it.

[mongis]

I just did a clean install of video drivers, but the problem remains..

I have a geforce 6600gt

Do you have any window skinning software installed like WindowBlinds?

No skinning software..

[QuAdJojo]

Hi again!
Any news on when the problems are fixed and the SDK will be released for german version owners ?
Bye
Jojo

[SimonL]

i also get the "MountFilesystem( 1316 ) failed: ..." Error when starting SDK in the german version.
what now?

[VoKuHiLa_Man]

They'll never help us :mad:

[Ritual-MikeR]

We have not forgotten the problems that German customers have been having with the SDK. This has been one of the more unique problems to try to solve because the solutions not only have to be technically correct, but they also have to align with our agreements with USK.

We are still looking for a solution that fills both needs, but until we have one, I can provide no ETA. Sorry.

[Oomphstein]

is it possible to use the Sin SDK to convert the Magnum and use if For CSS? if so can someone tell me how? :D

[tschumann]

Out of curiosity, what is in this SDK? I know I can map with it, but is there any source?

[tschumann]

No source code it seems.
