For those of you who haven't gotten started with HL2 SDK development yet, I've added some "Getting Started" guides to the Wiki pages...
http://wiki.bots-united.com/index.ph...Life%202%20SDK
Click on the "Getting Started with the Half-Life2 SDK"
...and it will tell you how to install the SDK, how to configure Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 to build the SDK and how to set up the debugger in VS .NET 2003 properly for the Half-Life2 SDK.
There's also a page called "Server Plugin Getting Started" that tells how to do all of the above for creating server plugins for Half-Life2.
P.S. The instructions are meant for people who are using Visual Studio .NET 2003 (which is what Valve recommends for HL2 development).
P.P.S. I HATE the formatting style of phpWiki. I much prefer the "traditionaly" wiki style of
Wakka Wiki.
