HL2 sdk update tomorrow morning

[Fяэ&a]

and me

[Zyn]

At first it didn't work, and all I did was restarting Hammer and I can only get preview with light_spot:

And most materials doesn't seem to like getting light and just stay full-bright.

this is a real mess

sdklauncher = sourcesdk

:roll:

btw it works only on models for me as well.

I decided to make matters worse...I'm downloading the latest drivers from nvidia (released two days ago)

[Zeta]

i doubt it will do anything but let us know

[ReFlex]

Ray-traced lightning works, but takes a VERY LONG TIME for the most simple things:

[Pericolos0]

so its basically pretty useless.. raytracing doesnt look anything like radiosity lighting and realtime preview just has no shadows :/

[mjens]

sdk crashes after update...

steam is one of the worst inventions on the world...

cant load filesystemopendialog.dll

missing material 'materials/flatnocull'

game dir is correct

[PogoP]

Wow, works great for me. Haven't tried the ray-traced one, but the other's great. Ill get some shots in a minute.

Edit - I take all that back. Cs:s editing is completely broken. Maps have all weird lines over them in the 2d views; the 3d view doesn't work; the cursor disappears when you mouse over a 2d view; hammer crashes randomly when loading; a load of errors come up saying something about 'nullface'.

Just a short list of errors.

You can check out general lighting of the scene, (ie, making sure you have the right 'mood') and then refine it later on.

Yay for rushed releashes.

Other things I've noticed couple new property windows are different, theres a couple new buttons on the top bar, there are lots of new entities (including a prop_vehicle_drivable) and a dropdown box appears as you type in entities.

And yeah, everything seems bodeged tbh.
