-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] The following options are available: a.. Modify Half-Life 2 Single Player b.. Modify Half-Life 2 Multiplayer c.. Start a mod from scratch d.. Source code only
Ok basically, with every single option you get all the same code in each version. The difference is that you get different project workspaces that enable different behaviour within the code. You also get different content layouts depending on what you choose. A: Is meant for single player development, and you get all the project .dsw(?) for HL2 so when you compile that you will compile HL2 with your own changes - also you will only mount the HL2 .gcf's This option is best if you want to build something off the HL2 Single player and not have to worry about network entites and all that fun stuff. B: You are getting the HL2DM code and content to build off, this is probably the best to start off with; allthough you do have to cut through some HL2DM specific code if you want todo certain things. C: From what I can tell this seems to be some version of the CSS code which has alot of stuff "disabled" this package is really barebones, but it does help you to see how things work by making you fix them. D: This really seems to me for when Valve release an SDK update so we can easily diff our code against the newest version without having to worry about steam creating mod directories and all that fun stuff.
