Half-Life 2: Episode Two depots included in Source SDK Base 2006 and missing from Source SDK Base 2007. #3317

Open malortie opened 4 years ago

The Source SDK Base 2006 engine branch is meant to keep compatibility with older Half-Life 2/Episode One mods, while the 2007 engine branch is for older Half-Life 2: Episode Two mods.

Source SDK Base 2006 currently uses the following depots:

depot_421_dir.vpk
depot_422_dir.vpk
depot_423_dir.vpk

These depots include content related to Half-Life 2: Episode Two, and were likely meant to be used with the Source SDK Base 2007 engine branch.

The Source SDK Base 2007 does not include these depots and many older mods running on this branch require Episode 2 content. These depots should rather be moved to Source SDK Base 2007 and removed from Source SDK Base 2006.

I can fully confirm this - but it seems that Valve has give a damn on correcting its own mistakes for old games and mods, and is now busy with completely different things.

I would also add that "depot_317" is clearly superfluous in the Source SDK Base 2007, because these are files from the Source 2009 engine (pre-SteamPipe) - with completely different binaries and shaders. That's why we don't see the displaying of the menus and HUD interfaces when loading mods.

Btw, here is description on how to fix this manually: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Fixing_VPK_mounting_for_older_Source_SDK_Bases.
