Also, I mailed M. Durand about VS2005 Express support, and he replied:

Hi Jeroen-

Since we have been so behind on getting an SDK update out, we decided
that the community needed updated code and tools more immediately than
they wanted VS 2005 support right now. However, VS 2005 support is the
number one thing on my list for the next SDK update which I will be
working on as soon as this SDK is out the door.

Thanks for your patience.

Because I haven't heard "soon" a hundred thousand times already.

Yeah, I've put off mapping for a long time only to wait and never get an update.

I really hope that in this case, soon means "soon" and that it will be all worthwhile in the end.

It sure looks like they are meaning it this time.
The guy states 'this week' in his mail, so ...

The contents of the new SDK update, due out in beta this week unless something goes horribly wrong, have been confirmed by Mike Durand on the hlcoders mailing list.

What This Release Has
Lots of source code updates from the Episode 1 production code
Hammer, Faceposer, Model Viewer updates
Access to the Ep1 version of the Source Engine binaries
What It Doesn't Have
Visual Studio 2005 [including Visual C++ Express] Support (it will be in the next SDK release)
Improved server plugins for bots (on my to-do list)
Anything from Episode 2, Portal, Team Fortress

Hey guys, If someone didn't buy Episode 1 for instance will they be able to get " Lots of source code updates from the Episode 1 production code "?


I am that someone :/...
