Named Game of the Year by over 50 publications, Valve's début title blends action and adventure with award-winning technology to create a frighteningly realistic world where players must think to survive. Also includes an exciting multiplayer mode that allows you to play against friends and enemies around the world.

Description

Last night I spent a few hours to make Half-Life source code to be compiled in Visual Studio 2008. It was very boring and tiresome work, so I think, publishing the results of this work would be very useful for those coders who want to deal with Half-Life SDK and use MSVC 2008 (which is modern and advanced and which you can legally download for free, unlike MSVC 6).

i'm actually glad about ppl saying this is nice, because this is released by the makers of BooM, the "so called" best hl mod ever.

Thank you so much for this. I hated working with that dang old compiler. If only someone would do this for a compiler like gcc/MingGW...

You should try doing that yourself, great learning experience. Also, thanks so much, i did a MUCH dirtier version of this a while ago, and this is a breath of fresh air

I made fixes to make it possible to build it under MSVC 2008, cause if you try to compile original HLSDK you would get a lot of errors...

In Visual Studio beta 11 it says I need upgrades for 3 of the files, is it incompatible with 11? Do I need to go to 10 or 8?

This version is for 2008, but it was created for earlier, you could in theory update, but 2008 is no longer an option, it seems to have gone off of MS servers.

ARRAYSIZE and HSPRITE?? Is that all?? Lol, thanks, man! (never had VS2008 so your info will help me to provide my mod source to new VS users)

PS: Normal people (//NOTE: crossplatform programmers) already have all SetThink(&Class::Func) written this way ;) (that's a GCC requrement)
