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 parallax corrected cubemap shader tutorial I did a while back by showcasing an improvement to the matrix code that was used and I outline how to (hopefully) get the LightmappedGeneric version of custom shaders working via VBSP. This would also apply to the PBR shader, I also cover some issues I have experienced with getting shaders working with Source 2013 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!
