By Onemanshow. NOTE: Only use the patches with the mod it was made for (like installing the SMOD Redux patch into your SMOD: Tactical install). Otherwise you can end up with bugs/problems.
To install a patch, extract the archive into the respective mod's folder and MAKE SURE YOU RESTART STEAM BEFORE PLAYING!. Otherwise it will not apply the changes!. DO NOT install these patches into your half-life 2 folder. Only your SMOD, Tactical or Redux folder.
As a side note, these patches make SMOD run on the Source SDK Base engine. Make sure you have it installed before playing.
SMOD broken by latest HL2 update. (UPDATED. PATCHES RELEASED)
UPDATE 5/27:
Valve updated a handful of maps with HDR support. Unfortunately SMOD has no support for HDR entities outside of its fake tonemapping. So you'll have broken lighting in any of those maps. The patches below do not fix this problem as i can't include the pre-update maps in a release due to possible legal issues. But if you have GCFScape (google it if you don't) you can extract the pre-update maps from your "half-life 2 content.gcf" into your SMOD install folder, fixing this problem.
ORIGINAL POST:
Valve released an update for Half-Life 2 earlier today that, among other changes, made it use the Orange Box (Episode 2) engine. However thanks to the changes of this update SMOD and several sub-mods of it, including Tactical and Redux, have been rendered broken and unplayable. Because i do not have the source code to SMOD, this issue is proving difficult to properly address.
I am waiting for Valve or possibly The SMOD Author himself to release an update that will officially fix this. In the meantime i have made fixes below that will allow you to run the appropriate mods without crashing.

Beta multiplayer?
can you port them into source sdk base 2013 please? thanks.
excuse me...how can i use this?
put it into sourcemods folder located in e:steam/steamapps Done enjoy! oh and also make sure you installed source sdk base 2006
guys, i have done all what needed, downloaded SDK 2006, cs:s,hl2,hl2: ep1-ep2,even deathmatch, but SMOD don't turn on,what i doing wrong?
it's a patch not the full version
ok you know what? f*** it, im tired of trying , this piece of crap doesnt work,i just waste my time in this thing!!!
Ok...You are done with it...Not like anyone cares...Instead of posting the problem you are encountering you are just whining...
The "problem" is the whole damn game. For the last two hours the most I've been able to get is the game running, but none of the AI works and no one talks.
Help! When I download the SMOD the Source SDK Base 2006 says "hl2.exe stopped working" but in the Source SDK Base 2007 and 2013 I am perfectly well, how do I solve this? .
