Source SDK Update

The Source SDK will be updated later today to fix tools compatibility problems for some games and total conversion mods. We are sorry for the disruption to your work that the SDK issues may have caused for the past week. Thanks very much for your patience.

SDK Launcher

The terminology for Engine Version has changed and now maps to the year of release rather than to particular products. Here are the options now present in the list of engine versions along with the games which utilize them:

Source Engine 2006
- Half-Life 2
- Counter-Strike: Source
- Half-Life 2: Deathmatch
- Half-Life 2: Episode 1
Source Engine 2007
- Half-Life 2: Episode 2
Source Engine 2009
- Day of Defeat:Source
- Portal
- Team Fortress 2

Please note that you may need to re-create the game configurations for total conversion mods that were built using Source Engine 2007. Simply run the Edit Game Configurations utility to do this.

Valve games should show up under the appropriate engine version. If they do not correspond to the list given above then you can either manually edit the configurations or run the Reset Game Configurations utility.

SDK Tools

There are now tools supporting three versions of Source in the SDK distribution. If you are creating content for a game or total conversion based on Source Engine 2007 you may need to run some of the command-line tools now located at:

sourcesdk\bin\source2007\bin

The command-line tools needed for Source Engine 2006 and Source Engine 2009 are still located at:

sourcesdk\bin\ep1\bin

and

sourcesdk\bin\orangebox\bin

Thanks! thank you very much so... will there be any thing for 2010 in there?

Well, it didnt fix my faceposer problems.. I still get the "hlfaceposer.exe has encountered a problem" error... :/...

Hm. I still get the same problem with the view ports not displaying correctly when I launch Hammer via Episode Two under Source 2009 engine, though it's fine when I'm running Hammer via the same game under the 2007 engine.

Same... The only workaround i've done successfully is changing the AppID to 440 (TF2), extracting all of ep2's content to my mod folder, adding the GameData entries to my gameinfo.txt.

That enables me to map without any problems in Hammer but as of today i had an update for TF2 which broke the ability to play the mod using the same AppID.

So now i have to restart steam after i compile a map with AppID 440, change it back to 218 to test the map, then restart steam and change it back to 440 to edit the map.

Seriously Valve wtf

Gabe Newell hates everyone, so deliberately breakes stuff that is working perfectly to jarate<<- lol wut?) everyone off, and make me rage. FML

I had the launcher crashing before showing any windows just now. I deleted the whole account\sourcesdk\ folder and it's working again.

Also, is Portal really Source 2009 now? When did that happen?

I think it may have something to do with the Steam for Mac...

Yes. Source 2009 has OSX support. 2007 & 2006 do not.
