SDK tools

[l3eeron]

The SDK (Software Developer's Kit) for Source includes some useful tools besides Hammer. There is a model viewer, which is handy if you ever wanted to take a screen shot of a weapon (or any HL2 model) for a sig etc etc.


Hammer itself can open new avenues of resources for you as well. There is a sound browser (that's how they did all the TF2 movie spoofs). Texture, overlay and decal browser. Basically you have access to any thing in the game through teh SDK.


They give us the tools, now go build!!!

PS there are lots of other mod-creation tools that I wont get into

But the mod-creation tools aren't compatible with the orange box yet

I know. It's halting the development of EventScripts, my favorite language.
SourceMod sucks and is unstable. ES is sooo much better. As soon as VALVe release the SDK, then I can get RPG for TF2....



...ok just kidding!

Code: Select all

event player_fire
{
     es_xset pid 0
     es_getuserid pid "Barrel"
     if (server_var(pid) > 0) then es_cexec server_var(pid) "kill"
}

[Stevo]

Here, this code should work better.

Code: Select all

event player_fire
{
     es_xset pid 0
     es_getuserid pid "Stevo"
     if (server_var(pid) > 0) then es_cexec server_var(pid) "aim for head"
}
