We plan to release the 2.6 version, which we compiled in early 2014. This SDK does not need any compatiblity fixes on windows 7 and later platforms, so if you previously had SoC SDK installed with the compatiblity patch, please do the following:

open your Compatibility Administrator (32-bit) -> Installed Databases -> select all sdk databases -> right click -> uninstall


------------------------------------------------

Planned release date: soon! Also we would need one or 2 experienced volunteers, who would test the sdk installer, and the sdk itself for us before we release it to public. :axe:

While you are preparing the SDK and toolset, would it be possible to release any relevant documentation/s earlier?

Thanks.

Would be better to release all together. Just started to fill the downloads section on the main site :)

We are still looking for volunteers who would help to check the sdk before it goes out to public.

Sounds great! Looking forward to it.

What does testing the tools involve?

Can you provide us with a brief outline of what kind of feedback you expect from testers?

Thanks again.

Sounds real exciting. But I don't know what you are talking about. Is there an SDK for every game? It looks like I have three SDKs installed, 2006, 2007 and 2013. The 2013 source SDK appears to be for Half Life. I am running Win8.1. Will I need it?

bulletbelch: the ones you have installed on steam are for valve's games. stalker as any other game has development kits, and it depends on the developers if they want to share it or not.


kingfriday: sure, can you contact me in pm? I will upload it for you to test.

no. never need an SDK to play a game.

SDK = Software Development Kit

The Lost Alpha SDK is a tool provided to modders for creating/altering game content.

Well, 'Software Development Kit', actually. Aside from which, yes, you are more or less correct in your appraisal. :wink:

It's a set of tools specifically made available to individuals or organisations in order to construct content for software Projects, be it games or applications. It may comprise any number of utilities and/or tools that may be useful for this purpose including, but not exclusively limited to: level editor, model viewer/importer/exporter, application plug-ins, shader and script creation utilities and plug ins, texture and material manipulators... and so on and so forth.

It will be interesting to see exactly what the SDK for 'Lost Alpha' will consist of. I imagine it will be most - if not all - of the custom made utilities and other related tools used by the team specifically used to generate the content of the game without making available and releasing other 3rd party proprietary programs like 3D Studio Max, Maya etc (which would be illegal).

Something like that.

But yes. TL;DR: Mod tools.
