Source Engine SDK Adds Orange Box Support

by Nick Breckon, Nov 07, 2007 1:56pm PST

Related Topics – Valve, Bethesda

Valve's Source engine software development kit today received an update, bringing the package up to speed for Orange Box modding. The release unlocks content and adds tools that will allow users to create maps, models, and textures for Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Portal, and Team Fortress 2. We can only hope this update will help usher in a few more quality Team Fortress 2 maps--not to mention Portal chambers, such as Bethesda designer Daryl Brigner's unique Ren_Test2 challenge.

Please god, no more fucking Control Point maps that use the shitty Battlefield style deathmatch then stand around bored on a circle system while the enemy watches for 25 seconds from their respawn screen.

Either more CTF, or the classic flag run style of control points.

- You could make maps before with some workarounds. You just didn't have access to all the tools. : Wolrahnod
