Valve Source Code 2013 Tutorial (Episode 0): Downloading and Compiling the Code [2023 Edition!]

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!

Hey everyone, I hope you found the video helpful! Would you say this is better or worse than the original tutorial I did? Leave your thoughts down below! Here are useful links:

Thank you so much for everything you do, I can't imagine how much pain it would've been if you didn't made those tutorials

[FishistixIsHere]

The only modern YouTuber to make the most SPECIFIC tutorials that I just so happen to need. Thank you

My god, I was just on the original tutorial like an hour ago... Thanks!

FYI for everyone downloading visual studio, it's just very slow from the archival website and has nothing to do with your internet. However slow internet can definitely make it take even longer. My minimum was a 2 hour download lol

Idk but I think basing your code off mapbase is better since it can be compiled with recent vs versions and you get its features.

Thanks a lot for this series of tutorials! :)

Thank you so much for the minimalist version. I just can't stand unnecessarily big downloads (I too suffer from bad internet) and having a minimalist download is life saving. There would've been a good chance that a full few gigabytes download would somehow get interrupted and have to start from the beginning.

Just stuck at 7:35, you change over to a different looking VS 2013 tab thingy, how do you do that?
please reply a.s.a.p, this tut is very helpful and this is the first time it's going well.

Thanks man. I really wanted to make a source game!

[bazlajter]

Just thank you, really, god bless you

Thank you so much! Nice video! Well, I have a question though. What components should I install for VS Studio 2022? Also, It's giving the error "Based on your solution, you might need to install extra components for a full development experience", so, that's why I asked! Thanks!

[painfulburn]

can you make a tutorial on how to implement LUA into source engine?

Hello, when I try to run the Visual Studio 2013 installer, it gets stuck on the splash screen, I can't get any further than that. Any ideas on how to fix this? I'm using Windows 11 Pro.

Could you explain how to compile an xbox 360 version map with sdk 2013, it is the only version that allows xbox to be compiled

[Coldful]

Hello! Thank you for the tutorial It has worked perfectly for me. However after compiling changes to the source code, is there a way in which i am able to the implement the compiled code into an alternative source game mod derived from the Source SDK Base 2013 Singleplayer so that i can test it there? Thanks.

ok for VS2022 you can just dl Source SDK 2013 CE by Nbc66

I tried compiling for the multiplayer version, and I never got ant project files in the src folder?

the visual studio folder does not have a 10.0 folder.
