What do you need to build a Multiplayer (DeathMatch) MOD?
To build a multiplayer MOD you will only need the Standard SDK 2.0. The Standard SDK does NOT contain the monster/grunt/scientist AI code found in the Full SDK, so you will not be able to have monsters or grunts or scientists in your MOD unless you code the AI routines yourself. You can obtain the Standard SDK from Valve’s SDK web page… http://www.valvesoftware.com/hlsdk.htm You can also download the latest SDK from fileplanet… http://www.fileplanet.com/ (click on the Games: Action, then Half-Life and search for SDK) You will also need a C++ compiler that is capable of building DLL files that are compatible with Microsoft Visual C++. The SDK contains Microsoft Visual C++ Workspace files that can be used to build the DLL files, providing you have Microsoft Visual C++ version 5.0 or 6.0. When building the MP.DLL file using Microsoft Visual C++ version 5.0, you will need to download and install the Visual Studio 97 service pack 3. You must download the FULL Service Pack and install it
