Do you really need players to actually push the thing? You could just use a func_train or func_door to move your object and have a thin trigger_multiple in front of it, so it'll start moving as soon as you touch it.

in SDK Broken Again [FIX] Post #315628
I thought mods always go in the SourceMod folder. Unless that's changed...

I'm actually thinking it has something to do with Hammer not finding the dxsupport.cfg file.

I found this thread: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=660643

I did what was suggested there but it didn't work, everything in the Hammer 3D window is still blurred.

in SDK Broken Again [FIX] Post #315610
Well, I've been fiddling with the SDK, Hammer and whatnot, and I managed to convert a mod created with the 'create a mod' wizard in the Source SDK Launcher to a 2013 mod. I got it to appear in Hammer next to the HL2, Ep1 and Ep2 entries. I was also able to successfully compile a map with the latest compile toolset that comes with the Source SDK Base 2013 Singleplayer.

Look at how new vvis is for example:
** Executing...
** Command: "D:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Source SDK Base 2013 Singleplayer\bin\vrad.exe"
** Parameters:  -game "D:\Steam\SteamApps\sourcemods\spaceshuttletribute" "D:\Steam\SteamApps\sourcemods\spaceshuttletribute\mapsrc\shuttle_test"

Valve Software - vrad.exe SSE ([b]Aug 29 2013[/b])
That's just 8 days old, and so very up-to-date.

And yes, I do realize that Source 2013 is merely just an update that adds support for Max and Linux, but I like to keep things up-to-date and who knows what has been added/fixed in this release. :)

The only problem I bumped into is that textures, models and entities in the Hammer 3D view appear very blurry and low res:

But the Create a Mod wizard only allows 2007 engine mods to be created. Choosing 2009 gives an error.

2007 is so old. I want at least the 2009 engine. Is there a way to manually update a 2007 engine mod to 2009? Perhaps by changing paths?

So... how does one create a new mod from scratch if we're not supposed to use the launcher any more?

And what exactly is Source SDK Base 2013? Is it a new (the latest?) release of the engine? Does HL2, Ep1 and Ep2 use that engine or do they still use the 2009/2007 engine version?

So confused. :confused:

Yeah, very annoying, although I have noticed that leads have a less chance of breaking when there's enough room for the horse to roam about. Make sure your horse can't roam behind objects, give him as much free space as possible.

My guess is they're poorly coded. I was very looking forward to 1.6, mainly because of the horses as a new method of traveling. However, due to the weird lag that they cause, I'm avoiding horse riding as much as possible. Hopefully they'll fix that in 1.7.

I will fix that when I get on, Stu. :)
I've been thinking about making a couple of changes to the gamerules for those suffereing from bad lag. Losing your stuff by a creeper explosion that you couldn't avoid because of lag, is not fun at all.
Now there's nothing I can do to make the lag go away, but I can change a couple of gamerules. One of them allows you to keep your inventory when you die, this should help ease the pain a bit. However, this gamerule applies to all players, including those that don't suffer from lag. So I think we should increase the difficulty to hard as well.

Let me know what you think and if you'd like it at all. :)

It was tweeted by Jeb two hours ago and he said:

The last couple of days I've been working on improving the world generator for Minecraft (PC). This is the biome overview that I use to see how biomes appear next to each other.

I'm already excited. This means no more desert and snow/taiga/ice plains biomes next to eachother. :)

Why would he disappear? Did I miss something?
He logged in with LaVolpe's username, taking over her character as well as being aggressive against her for whatever reason.

LaVolpe reported the issue to me and Ghost129er hasn't been on since.

This is exactly why it's recommended to have onlinemode enabled. I disabled it so Ghost could join the server because he's using a cracked/hacked version of Minecraft.

I made it perfectly clear I don't tolerate aggressive behavior and don't act like a jerk.
