Visual Studio section woefully out of date

New page

== Visual Studio section woefully out of date ==

The Visual Studio sections seem to miss a lot of things that they should list. The SourceMod source public\sample_ext directory now contains projects for Visual Studio 2005 (msvc8), 2008 (msvc9), and 2010 (msvc10).

However, the configuration for this, such as the Linker Input tab, have a bunch of variables that aren't explained. For instance, where does one set $(HL2SDKOBVALVE), the variable that tells it where the HL2SDK files for HL2:DM, CS:S, DOD:S, and TF2 are located?

I admit, maybe this is because I haven't ever used Visual Studio for C++ before, but this sort of thing seems like the kind of thing that should be explained in the Setting up Visual Studio section.

	"An Event is formally called a Forward." is a very bad way to phrase this. Source games have [[Game Events (Source)\|game events]], and forwards are ''not'' the same as those. --[[User:Powerlord\|Powerlord]] 02:32, 8 June 2011 (UTC)		"An Event is formally called a Forward." is a very bad way to phrase this.

−	Trying to get started with extensions and the entire article is out of date, right from the very beginning where the SDK structure is listed. I can't even find the basic header files listed at all, and I did download the source package. (there's nothing called "Sourcemod SDK" anywhere) Needless to say, someone starting out these days will have no clue what to do. I can only hope starting from someone else's small extension will eventually yield some progress... [[User:Sarysa\|Sarysa]] ([[User talk:Sarysa\|talk]]) 09:53, 19 May 2014 (CDT)

Since this will have a different location on each system, this is a variable that needs to be set by the programmer writing the extension.
