I mean, you can't even buy VS2003 anymore (unless it's used), right? So any VS2005 coders out there wanting to mod HL2 have all these problems with the code "as is" that they shouldn't even need to worry with in the first place. And why should they worry with those problems? They shouldn't...and I think a lot of HL2's modding scene potential has been lost (or hopefully just delayed) due to those problems. I upgraded to VS2005 and did all (most likely not all, though...which is the problem) of the supposed fixes to the code to let the DLLs at least compile all the way, but there are still tons of warnings that I pretty much just stopped caring about. I can play the mods, but I feel like my mod DLLs are dirty or something and have problems that I won't ever even know about, or that maybe they have new problems only brought on by me not fixing up the code for VS2005 in the proper way. So personally, I've just been mapping (Fortress Forever, WOOH YEAH!) instead of coding while I wait for the Source SDK to fully support VS2005. None of the mods I was coding had much of anything worth keeping, so I just plan to start all over with the code once VS2005 is officially supported. The waiting game isn't too much fun, though. So yeah, I think the Source SDK's lack of official VS2005 support is severely hurting the HL2 modding scene. I'm not blaming or mad at Valve though, because really...what in the hell was Microsoft thinking when they douched Visual Studio so badly? That's the real disappointment in all this. Still though, I think the VS2005 users have probably waited long enough for the Source SDK to fully support VS2005. trepid_jon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Greg Chadwick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, March 20, 2006 6:49 AM Subject: RE: [hlcoders] Are we ever going to get an update for VS2005? > You can use VS2005 with the SDK now, it just requires fixing up a few > things and setting the correct compiler options (the proceedure should > be exactly the same as it is for VC++2005 Express). > > On 3/19/06, Aditya Gaddam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Hi, >> >> Are there any real plans to update the SDK to work with the 2005 line >> of Visual C++ or Visual Studio?
