HL2 tool question.

[jay_delux]

Hi all, see a few familear names here from the old days! great site anyway i really hope the comunity here is good n stays that way "guess Ill find out soon enuf tho"

Well i ant been mapping for like 2 years and want to get back into it, this may be a silly question but are the half life 2 mapping tools out? like the new hammer editor for HL2 and XSI,

anyhelp would be great.

ps.... sorry for my stupidity if am way off topic?

regards jay

No HL2 tools have been released afaik

[Pericolos0]

the hl2 XSI is out

[jay_delux]

thanks guys, guess ill have to use the current tools n convert them over at a later date, so whats the game editor of choice lately or has everyone stuck with halflife?

[zaphod]

worldcraft if you want to convert it to hl2. You probably don't have long to wait for the hl2 tools though.

hey jay...

welcome to the mapcore forums. once HL2 ships there should be a huge surge in discussion about the engine around here.

see you around!

[OL]

run far away from mapcore while you still can

[jay_delux]

so the new cs is out! how long till we can map for it? anyone know. anyways ive seen an aztek ripoff doing the rounds on servers the other night !!! do you think the creator used the leaked hl to compile that or does he have the cs tools?

any thoughts!

[st0lve]

leaked HL stuff.

The HL2 SDK will be released when HL2 is released, that is what Valve said :roll:

[Taylor]

No, the HL2 SDK will come out before HL2 is released is what valve said.

Yoinked from HL2.net's forum.

1. Dude : When do you plan on releasing the SDK?

Gabe : Soon. We're testing it with two MOD teams now.

2. Dude : Something about the release of the SDK

Jay Stelly : The SDK is not quite ready yet. As soon as it's ready to go you'll get it!

Yes, they said that. But they also said HL2 was gonna be done Sept. 30 of last year untill the last minute. I figure the tools will come out around the same time as the game if not a little later. Probably late November. You can do brushwork in Hammer now. Just read the other thread (Brush vs. Mesh) and Zaphod already explained what should be brushes and what should be meshes.
