Plus it also has the final (for now) base mp and sp code.

But not many care about that

MountFileSystem( 312 ) error

Hi,

Valve realized a major Source SDK Update tonight. This update broke a very important function MountFileSystem which is used by HL?DM Pro. It is causing the following engine error: "MountFileSystem( 312 ) failed: SteamMountFileSystemSystem(296,312,0xfebc74=,0xfebd74) failed with error 5: No Steam Content Servers are available"

A workaround has been found and is implemented in 1.8.2 which is still in beta stage. Due to this very big issue, we expect to release 1.8.2 earlier.

In the same time, a mail has been sent to Valve so that they find a fix to this bug.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

goes without saying...anyone who used -ep1 engine in their SDK launcher shortcut's target line should have it now removed.

...next updated i for one am looking forward to now is that in which HL2DM will come up also under the Orangebox menu.

So does all this recent buzz about the SDK mean we're closer to the engine update? Seems like all the fixes that were implemented were geared towards prerairing all of us non OBEers for the switch. Or is this just hopeful thinking?

I'd say we are pretty close with HL2DM. Since HL2 is the base for all the mods (both SP and MP) then I'd say we are close to the HL2DM being at least tested on the orange box.

I have had no communications with anybody at VALVe about this, but based on the updates and the testing that they have been doing, I'm guessing they are either close or will be soon.

Ok I'm going to start holding my breath based on what you've said Keeper. Starting...............NOW!

hehehehe

"Oh Valve why dost thee neglect us so thuroughly? Would it not be prudent for thine noble messenger to bestow good tiding upon your most loyal subjects, when the morrow promises such lofty deeds be done? Nay, for you are a malevolant and spiteful overlord, content to let our grievances fester. A curse be on ye Valve! A curse Oi say!"

i'm the greatest believer and even as such i remind you all...only one guy at VALVe is working on DM updates if at all...in any case there is no such position at VALVe titled DM updates, or DM product manager...it's just something someone is looking into while doing other TO-DOs that ARE in his job description.
...again, i truly believe DM is being ported to OB but it may take long.
