Hey all,
I was wondering whether there was a way to use SourceSDK on a Mac, I got it with Team Fortress 2 off of Steam and really want to use it. Is there any way someone can help me? Thanks.
Valve hasn't added the SDK to Mac yet.
They can't even do it right on windows; How do they expect to get it onto mac?
Trust me, you don't want to use it.

Why would I not want to use it? It seems better than Garry's Mod in animations and all.

Do you have any idea when they will release it for Mac?? I kinda wanted to use it for the mapping/model viewing :/
We aren't VALVe, but I doubt it will be coming any time soon. I mean, look at how long it took them to get the L4D SDK out after L4D's release.

to clarify, the source sdk is versatile and powerful but valve often breaks it with updates
oftentimes you'd be working on a project late at night, save it, go to bed, wake up then realise valve released an update during the night that made it impossible to work on it again
That's funny, since I've been mapping for Source for around 2 years and have been modelling for Source for a few months and that's never happened to me.
Coding is what usually gets buttfucked, it's perfectly fine to model and map for Source.

You can't animate with the SDK. You can facepose though.

There was the disastrous bug a few months back that rendered it useless, however it was fixed.
Eventually.
Rendered what useless?
The Source SDK?
Are you referring to the engine update? Because that was certainly more beneficial than disastrous.

It was in April when they added support for instances to Hammer. The whole thing broke in a spectacular fashion and we were left without hammer for a few months. There was a way to get round it though.

What's UDK?? and How many updates are there on average??

btw, I'm also going to be using the mapping tool for SourceSDK as well, in addition to faceposing to create some kind of crazy internet meme. Lol

UDK - Unreal Development kit (the Unreal engine's version of the SDK).
Also, I fail to see what purpose you have for faceposer if you aren't going to be using it in maps, and I'd consider faceposer to be a bit difficult to learn for just creating the next dumb meme.

Yeah I was going to use faceposer for maps, hopefully creating some kind of singleplayer campaign mod? lol Idk
