The Swarm SDK Template implements the Orange Box SDK Template into Alien Swarm, and nothing more. It is the ideal swarm-free base from which to build your own new game.
This mod only requires swarm_base! (Meaning you can make a true mod using Alien Swarm).
game/ includes the compiled build and assets for your new mod. Copy it to steam/steamapps/sourcemods/mod_sdk
Launch the mod with any of the 3 .bat files:
- run_mod.bat
- run_mod_debug.bat
- run_mod_tools.bat
src/ includes the full source code. Clone it anywhere you want.
Open creategameprojects.bat
let it generate the .snl file to get started.
