Source SDK Base is an appid setup for mods that need to use the latest shipping version of the Source Engine, without requiring HL2 or HL2DM. It contains the same video stress test that shipped in Lost Coast. MOD's based on the Source SDK Base will update periodically in lock-step with engine updates.
In simple terms, this means that any mod built using 'Source SDK Base' use the latest Source Engine updates when they're released.

Thanks you guys, and yes the 64 rifles are right under the spawns, this way you automatically have them when you spawn. Right now I have been trying to get this on a server, but to no avail. :( Because unfortunately my router doesn't let me host a server of my own. :(

A remake of that crappy map "aim_ak_colt" but this map has WAY better mapping then 4 random squares and 12 guns on each side. I made 64 spawns, 32 on each side, under each spawn is an AK or an M4, so as soon as they spawn they have the gun. This way when they spawn they don't just have a pistol and have to pick up the gun manually. The map takes place under four huge bridge support pillars. (The four bridge supports is like the four random squares in ak_colt.)

in Point_clientcommand Problems Post #191603
No I didn't I just used quotes in the post because it was the name of the commands. But now it crashes hammer when I try to open my map. I don't think you can bind something in a "point_clientcommand"

in Point_clientcommand Problems Post #191395
I can make my point_clientcommand turn "sv_cheats 1" on, but I can't make it bind anything! Say I wanted to bind "x" to "impulse 101" on the "point_clientcommand" This is what I did. I made a "point_clientcommand" then I made a trigger_once and in the outputs I did "OnStartTouch" "Clientcommandsname" "Command" "bind x "impulse 101". Didn't work. Why does "sv_cheats 1" work but not "bind"!?!?

"Probably won't fix your problem, but I do suggest that you never run fast vis. Tons of problems can result because of fast vis."
Are you kidding me? When you are testing your map you need to run fast vis to save LOTS of time. NEVER running fast vis is just stupid.

The map that takes place in a city in the middle of a thunder storm. I did 2 really cool and unique effects. I made dust clouds in the 3Dskybox to simulate storm clouds, so don't forget to look up! Also I Used a water texture in the ground to simulate reflective full puddles. So don't forget to look down as well!

in First XSI model complete and ingame! Post #185027
Luke, the point of the post was that he wanted to show that she can sucessfully UV map, and upload a model to Source. He even said it is simple and crude. Those words in itself suggests that he didn't really care what it looks like, but just wanted to successfully upload a textured model to Source. YOUR post was offtopic, considering the topic was about uploading a model to Source, so don't tell ME to stay on topic. Also, calm your ass down and learn to talk in an argument without cursing. It makes you look like a dumbass with a low vocabulary.

in physbox move only when shot plz Post #184872
Collapses as in breaks apart or as in just falling to the ground?

If you want the first one make it break when 1 dmg is done to it. This can be done in the properties of the func_physbox, under "Min damage to hurt."

If you want it to just fall to the ground straight. Set its "Mass Scale" to something really heavy, and rediculus like , "100000000."

in Assigning an animation to a button. Post #184729
Okay this is my first real attempt at creating a single player map, and I want to assign an animation to a button. Here is the scenario.

There is a door with a monitor right next to it. The monitor has a "func_button" on it. The door is a prop_dynamic combine door. I want the button, when pressed, to set the animation "Open" for the door. In the outputs tab, there is a "set animation" selection, but I don't know how to set a specific animation.

in how do u make nice looking water? Post #182382
A water_lod_control is Necessary, it makes the water lower detail when you are far away and can't really see it, reducing the polygons and making your FPS better. I guess it isn't really used for cosmetic purposes but you really just need it when you use water. As for the actual water itself, like I said look for textures that are suited to your needs, there are alot of textures. If you map for DOD Source, there is a REALLY cool water texture, called "nature/water_anzio001_cheap." But you probably don't map on DOD Source. I have noticed that some waters that say "cheap" look really cool. Just keep looking.

in how do u make nice looking water? Post #182377
Try putting a water_lod_control entity with the water along with a env_cubemap. Or you can choose a different water texture, alot of them are really cool.

in Compile question Post #181157
What is the difference between normail compile and fast compile. It looks the same to me in game. (I know it is not the same) What things does it not do when I use fast compile? I noticed when I do a regular compile it does "Portal vis" and it takes FOREVER. My map will take an ungodly amount of time to compile. Is it worth it to do a normal compile? Does it like increase FPS when I do a normal compile? What are the benefits?
