Its what valve calls their editing suite. Also its not just a map editor, it upgrades all the editing tools valve provides to work with the slightly updated engine that L4D provides so it truly is an SDK.

well they add so much replay value, humor, and feeling of acomplishment it would be rather short sighted not to, especially considering Valve's other offerings all contain achivements.

Very nice interview, some usefull reminders in there. And on behalf of the Black Mesa Team we are resisting the feature creep, we don't need the game to take longer to make than it already will :)
P.S. Talk about Black Mesa should go on it's page. This is just a reply to DJ should he read it.

We'd also need some way to classify our blogs, as some peoples blogs are only pertinent to some things and I dont want to wade through "My little Pony should be made a game" Blogs trying to find relevant tips and tricks blogs.

There needs to be a way to browse blogs like you can browse mods and news. I have my blog from Black Mesa source duplicated here but I'm not even sure anyones found it.

I've been editing games as long as I've had them. I can Map, Model, Skin, Texture, Animate, and Code. I'm that lovable little woodland rodent that'll help anyone who needs it as long as I can find time. David "(Very) Angry Beaver" Gillen. I bought the HL Platinum pack and UT, both mostly responsible for my lack of social life. Between the two games I spent years learning and bouncing between communities. Nothing really changed untill HL2 though. A brand new engine and PC. Ever since I've been teaching, learning, and having fun trying to finish things that I started, and coming up with too many ideas to do so. portfolio - angry-beaver.net steam - Angry_Beaver vdc - Angry_Beaver
