Yeah, I'm in Korea. Anyway, I was messing around with the Alien Swarm stuff today and I've gotten most of the template ported over and working. Before it's easily useable I have to convert the VGUI panels though. http://www.omegaowns.us/omega/swarm/sdk_teams_hdr0002.jpg When I have more time, i'll see about finishing it up if anyone is interested. Since I'm just doing it for fun, I may not actually finish it ;) The main issues that I have to deal with before it's complete is the vgui panels, and getting around the overriding of scripts via vpks (as override_vpk doesn't stop the overriding of resources completely..) and a few misc things like the lack of hl2 content, so I'll need to replace things with alien swarm stuff to make it work properly. also of note is that my projects use vs2008 not 2005.
