Which Game do I need?

[jedisolo]

Hello the mod looks awesome! Do I need half life 2 or can you just use CS Source to play The New Era? Thanks for keeping a great idea alive and fresh peace!

You will be able to play TNE with CS:S

the source SDK base is enough to play any source mods since it has the core files, i dont have half life 2 or CS:S but i purchased the source sdk base and i can play source mods no problem

was playing insmod last night new release

[Lindsey]

didn't know one could purchase the sdk base by itself. How much does that run? 10 bucks or something?

In any case, known games to support the SDK base are Dad of Defeat Source, Counter Strike Source, and all the games that came with the Orange box.

Dad of Defeat Source

A viscious father, indeed! It must be Darth Vader!


Hmm... but I can't find how Source SDK just by itself... how did you get it?

[Retro-Cow]

No such thing, Source SDK base comes with the newer Valve games such as Half Life 2, Half Life 2 Deathmatch, CS;Source, etc.

BTW we really outta make a sticky about this....

Basically you need any game powered by the Source engine.

Well I picked up cs source and I have the option of installing Source SDK Base, Source SDK and Orange Box SDK so I installed Source SDK Base. I found some interesting info about the SDK base here
