Greetings and a quick question.
It seems decent. I just wish they had used the Unreal-style weltanschauung that space is full rather than empty by default. That means no possibility of leaks, and making a room means just carving a few cubes rather than aligning lots of little walls.
The differences between the engines are staggering, it's not as simple as making it CSG based like Unreal (where the world is solid).

Well I have to say the editor is fine so far. it's fairly user friendly yet seems powerful. I have had a few issues but most of those are probably my noobiness. I feel like I'm learning a programming language when I read up on the SDK.
I do have one issue that's kind of a biggie and I can't get resolved. Every time I go to launch the SDK, I get a "game not available at this time" error. I have tried all the solutions on the valve site and a few forums but the only thing that works is to delete my "sourceSDK" folder and re-download the SDK. I have a few ideas of my own to try; just need the time to try them.
If you haven't already, try hitting "Refresh SDK Content" under the "Utilities" heading when you launch the SDK. Maybe "Reset Game Configurations" (not sure what this does).
Tried both of these and still have the same problem. I did notice an error when I run my maps that says something about not being able to remove gamestat.log (or some such file). I'll have to check the file permissions on this one. I can still map, it just takes 2 minutes to re-download. It's inconvenient but not the end of the world (nor my mapping ambitions).
Exactly what he said, and welcome to the community!
If you're still having this problem, I recommend posting a question about it on the Steam forums, or even sending an email to Valve support.
Sent Valve an email and I'm still waiting on a response. I've narrowed the problem down myself though. It seems to be a conflict with my antispyware. If I shut down my antispyware everything launches fine and no re-downloading. Unfortunately I forgot to back up my project files when I did the second re-install but those were all goof-off projects anyway.
Back to the tutorials...
