Obsidian SDK Setup

Up one category: Obsidian Conflict

Setting up SourceSDK for Obsidian

The Example Steam Path looks like this in this Tuturial:

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps

Note: A tool has been made by shiftey that sets up Obsidian SDK for you. Obsidian SDK Installer: http://www.ronjonproductions.com/downloads/obsdk.zip

Note2: make sure you replace that folder in the code below with your Steam Path.

Note3: "[example]" is our placeholder for the steam account name (can also be a e-mail address).

• Go to your SourceSDK OrangeBox Bin Folder:

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\[example]\sourcesdk\orangebox\bin\

• Open the GameConfig.txt for Editing. (Make sure it's NOT read only)
• Add this to the list: (just before the last 2 Bracers)

"Obsidian Conflict"
{
	"GameDir"      "C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\SourceMods\Obsidian"
	"hammer"
	{

		"GameData0"		"C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\SourceMods\Obsidian\Obsidian SDK\Obsidian.fgd"
		"MapDir"		"C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\[example]\sourcesdk_content\obsidian\mapsrc"
		"GameExeDir"		"C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\[example]\source sdk base 2007"
		"GameExe"		"C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\[example]\source sdk base 2007\hl2.exe"
		"BSP"			"C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\[example]\sourcesdk\orangebox\bin\vbsp.exe"
		"Vis"			"C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\[example]\sourcesdk\orangebox\bin\vvis.exe"
		"Light"			"C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\[example]\sourcesdk\orangebox\bin\vrad.exe"
		"BSPDir"		"C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\SourceMods\obsidian\maps"
		"TextureFormat"		"5"
		"MapFormat"		"4"
		"DefaultTextureScale"	"0.250000"
		"DefaultLightmapScale"	"16"
		"DefaultSolidEntity"	"func_detail"
		"DefaultPointEntity"	"ai_ally_manager"
		"CordonTexture"		"tools\toolsskybox"
		"MaterialExcludeCount"	"0"
	}
}

Important: never add any other FGDs to that code since Obsidian uses it's own. (Request to add other content to the existing ones instead)

Note: Also to make sure the code won't get deleted, you can do that by making the file read only once you have completed all necessary changes.
