Have Valve's updates caused delays in BM development?

Also, if you are getting blank screen or flickers in hammer then make sure your mod in the source sdk config is using “Source Engine 2007”.

Thanks. Sadly I don’t get flickers, as I am using the 2007 engine, but I just don’t have any of the brushes that I create show up visibly. I’ll see if I can try reinstalling the SDK bases as well as the SDK itself and see if that fixes anything.

thanks, Ram. I’ll try that. (I’m assuming you mean the one that is in the vconfig folder) I had originally tried to start the SDK using the 2009 engine, but it told me it wasn’t available to use. I didn’t realize that you could get access just by editing that file.

I’ll let people know if it works, otherwise I’ll just keep looking for solutions elsewhere.

EDIT: I figured out my problem. I think I messed up the initial setup. I switched from trying to edit the mod I initiated to trying to edit HL2:Ep2 and now I get the proper grids and stuff. I’ll guess I just have to play around more.

Im preety sure BM is running on the EP2 engine so no.
The update was just for HL2.

There where too many weird odd ball small and few big problems, but most where resolved within a day or two.

The two most common problems were usually due to:

• Having steam appid set to some weird value; It should be set to 218 ( Some folks changed it because of that evil update that broke everything before the sdk engine was split ).
• Steam issue where “Source SDK Base 2007” would not run; Required a full reinstall of steam if nothing else worked.

Nothing major but a problem nonetheless.

Okay, please read the whole thing before responding, especially when the devs at whom the question was asked already have answered. There was an update to SOURCE SDK recently. I’m ALSO asking about that one, not JUST the one for HL2.
