Request: Add Hammer source code.
I don't know how much it is to ask. But the bread and butter of Source itself lies within it's ability to create maps. Otherwise, none of the features added to the game are worth anything. You cannot play a game without something to load. Although 2013SDK does come with a pre-compiled version of the Hammer Wolrd Editor. This precompiled application is... Less than stable on modern hardware. Even with something as backwards compatible as Windows stuff slowly starts to decline in stability. Along with FacePoser (which would also be nice to have it's source code available) is Hammer one of the most important tools for developing any game/mod on the source engine. And if we add features to the engine via the SDK, we cannot add reflecting changes to Hammer to accommodate these features. The request is as follows: > Hammer World Editor source code for 2013SDK. Additionally: > FacePoser source code for 2013SDK. > HLMV source code for 2013SDK. > Improved VRAD changes from CSGO branch. (like better static prop lighting) We want to make mods, and doing so with slowly failing software will eventually lead to this no longer being possible. So on request of the entire Source Engine community. Please. Allow us to preserve and maintain the toolset so crucial to modding this engine.
