We might have gotten into some chaotic territory here. An attempt at clarification:
The "SDK Base" is a full-fledged Source engine at a given version. It can be used to run mods [in theory, note my comments on the borkedness of the current OB SDK Base]. At the moment, two independent incarnations exist, the "Source SDK Base" (with the EP1 engine) and the "Source SDK Base - Orange Box" (with the OB engine). The "Source SDK" is a set of tools (Hammer, HLMV) plus sources for the server DLL, client DLL, a few tools and some other goodies. There is a more-or-less independent set of tools for each engine incarnation (EP1 and OB), and you can choose the relevant engine version by starting the SDK launcher and picking the version at the bottom. Depending on which version you pick, going through the "create a mod" wizard will give you a completely different package of code. I'm very sure both an SDK and an SDK Base will be released for EP3, as one is useless without the other, and Valve was able to do both until now. I was only reproducing what I've heard from Valve people as to when the old EP1 SDK Base (the one currently known as the "Source SDK Base") will be phased out (and all mods will have to be ported to the Orange Box codebase and ran off the Orange Box SDK Base). You are therefore advised to move AoA to the OB SDK soon (you can use TF2's AppId as a springboard while the OB SDK Base is broken) so that once the EP1 SDK Base disappears (which, according to Valve, should only happen after the release of EP3), AoA can still be played. Hope this clears things up, ~~ Ondra On 23.06.08 1:33 Uhr, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Is the EP3 SDK going to have a regular > version, or will it only have the Base version?
