Hello everyone and welcome to a new (probably short) series of videos I do involving the source code from Valve for Half-Life 2, and some guides on how to do stuff with this code. In this episode, I followup on the tutorial pertaining to dynamic lights for weapons and items that I did a while back by talking about an issue that I noticed in Source 2013 Multiplayer. Specifically, this involves dynamic lights for items (like suit batteries) and how the lights do not turn off when the items are collected! I go over my attempt at fixing this issue (which didn't work) and the code that may need to be investigated to resolve this issue. Please let me know what you think and see you for whatever I decide to do next, thanks for watching!

Hello everyone and welcome to a new (probably short) series of videos I do involving the source code from Valve for Half-Life 2, and some guides on how to do stuff with this code. In this episode, I outline how to add dynamic render-to-texture (RTT) shadows for Source 2013 Singleplayer and Multiplayer mods. Please let me know what you think and see you for whatever I decide to do next, thanks for watching!

Hello everyone and welcome to a new (probably short) series of videos I do involving the source code from Valve for Half-Life 2, and some guides on how to do stuff with this code. In this redone introductory episode, I go over how to download (and get into a position to compile) the 2013 source code in Visual Studio 2022, which requires something from Visual Studio 2013. I do not, however, go over how to get into a position to debug the code (This is done in another video!). Please let me know what you think and see you for whatever I decide to do next, thanks for watching!
