It is probably unrelated to most of these problems but worth mentioning, if you follow the wiki instructions for perforce (which is in general very thorough) pertaining to 'Integrating SDK Code Into your Mod', on a step by step basis...
After getting a copy of the new (updated SDK) a revert is done on all *.vcproj files, so that perforce does not try to merge them (automated merging of *.vcproj files typically does not end well), so it is up to you to manually copy the changed *.vcproj files after the merge. Also, there does not appear to be a step for ensuring that all new files are added; after the revert a script something along the lines of ; | |set p4client=ValveSDKCode| for /R %i in (*.*) do @p4 add "%i"| should be performed. At this point your workspace is probably ready for submission. I am not exactly sure how best to remove no longer used files in the ValveSDKCode Branch, bar manually going through the new *.vcproj files, eyeballing which files each project now uses then removing old files no longer used, a step that is hard to automate bar parsing *.vcproj files. But having said that, if your *.vcproj files are the latest then it should not matter for the build process, it will just mean a messy ValveSDKCode workspace cluttering up with unused files over time. ld.

Thanks for the offer Michael... I uninstalled steam and backed up the HL2 GCFs. After re-installing steam and re-downloading the SDK and creating a from-scratch mod, everything works now. The interesting thing is that there are over 5,000 different comparisons on what I was trying to compile with before versus what I am seeing now (and actually compiles).

Your sdk is not updating all the files, make sure you aren't running steam with -beta sdk, or -beta engine. Validate the SDK content, and refresh. If you want a quick fix, email me seperatly, with the full list of errors, and I can send you the correct files. -- _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
