[hlcoders] SDK tools, and offline mode
I noticed last night when I was at my GF's house (who doesn't have internet), that you can't open the SDK tools when steam is in offline mode. Fortunately, you can continue working on and running your currently started mod project (coding wise), but if you need to use Hammer or anythign you SOL. I also noticed steam doesn't seem to want to connect through a very slow GPRS cellphone internet connection :) Anyway around this? Is this a feature? This is no good for developers on the move... -Drew ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

I've not had any problems with the Source SDK in offline mode on my MacBook Pro - I think with Steam, you have to make it very, very obvious that you don't have a network connection. If it even thinks there's one (e.g. a slow mobile thingy), it'll get confused, invalidate its current session thing and then fail to login. Or something. Make sure Steam's been properly updated when last logged in, and has got the red-white-and-black system tray icon to show it's definitely in offline mode. Or something. Waving some animal entrails around while making the appropriate satanic incantations might help too...

Thanks for the tip, I'll give it another whirl. I should have tried to open a Single player game to validate that offline mode was working properly.

-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] You need to start Steam in online mode and start HL2, HL2DM, SDK and hammer/faceposer/whatever. After that switch to offline mode and it should work.

Ah yeah, I guess I haven't opened all of those on my laptop yet. Thanks again for the tips.
