I have not modified the game at all at this stage I am just trying to get it to run without giving errors.
I am trying to make my first mod using the SDK so I selected source 2007 engine and created a mod using modify Half-Life 2 Single Player and made the dir E:\SDK\Mymod.
I then downloaded and installed Visual c++ 2010 and opened the Game_Episodic-2005.sln file in the src directory of my mod. I changed the target name for client and server to their proper names and modified the linker/input/Ignore Specific Default Libraries to libc;libcd;libcmtd;.
In configuration properties under Debugging I have:
Command - C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\blanchy_666\half-life 2 episode two\hl2.exe
Command Arguments - -allowdebug -novid -game "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\SourceMods\MyMod"
Working Dir - C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\blanchy_666\half-life 2 episode two\
When ever I try and run the mod it loads up HL:EP2 and freezes on the menu screen showing loading down the bottom right. I then alt tab out and stop debugging in VS2010 and it shows.
- Code: Select all

The program '[3448] hl2.exe: Native' has exited with code -1073741819 (0xc0000005).
If I change the working directory and command to the source sdk base 2007 hl2.exe file I am able to get into the game but all the textures are missing and replaced by the pink blocks and using the impulse 101 cheat to get all weapons it crashes when I try and shoot.
I have spend a while trying to fix it on my own but I am not sure what to do now so any help you guys could provide would be greatly appreciated.
