Already downloading. This one looks like a winner.

Looks like it'll be pretty extensible even without source code access, judging by the demos.

So I finished modeling a Beretta. My question: what's the next step for getting it in-game?

Because it's going to be a third person mod, I tried extracting p_glock.mdl, decompiled it, replaced the pistol in there with mine, then recompiled it. I put it in my models/ folder. But when I load the game, I'm still seeing the original glock in 3rd person. What do I need to do?

Okay, thanks. I was hoping to do this without piracy, but guess not.

Hi,

I'm toying around with the SDK, or at least trying to. I can't seem to get the DLLs to build properly under VC++ Express 2008. Every time I try building the solution (cl_dll.dsp), it gets partway through compiling and fails with hundreds of errors. I'm using version 2.3 of the SDK.

Is there anything special I need to do to get it to work? All I want to do is make some minor changes (setting up the third person camera as a semi-fixed overhead view) which I could probably accomplish with Spirit, but that seems a bit like using a sledgehammer to solve a problem that could be fixed with a screwdriver.

I can post my build log if requested. And yes, I am probably doing something very simple wrong, but unfortunately most sites with SDK tutorials are either dead links or don't cover setting up the build environment.

Thanks.

Hey, got it now!

I had forgotten to run makewad.exe. I feel dumb now...

Still no dice. Compilator won't even compile the map, and Nem's still refuses to wadinclude the files.

I should also mention I'm using the Steam version of Half-Life. Will that affect the folder setup at all?

No dice removing the .wad extension in Nem's; but it could be a directory issue. Are the textures supposed to be in the same folder as the .rmf (that's where I have them) or in /half-life/valve, or somewhere else?

Hi,

I'm trying to get wadinclude working on my map (I'm using Nem's batch compiler) however no matter what I try it refuses to include any textures.  Here's the hlcsg output:
