Valve Developers Community Site Launched!

[Farles]

Erik Johnson from Valve announced the launch of a new MOD community site.

"Today we're going to open up something we've been working on for the MOD community for the last couple of months: The Valve Developer Community.

We've reworked our existing Source engine SDK documentation into a Wiki, which means that virtually all of the content can be edited by anyone with a web browser and useful information to share. We hope that this is an efficient and useful tool that the MOD community can use to share information on building a game using Source. The open nature of a Wiki raises some obvious concerns about what kind of content is contributed to the site, from worries about vandalism to honest inaccuracy and mistakes. There will be the occasional disruptive person, but the site provides methods for dealing with this.

[BREAK ARTICLE]

This is not Valve's site, this is the MOD community's site -- we've just helped out by jump-starting it for you. The new site should be treated like this mailing list -- as a place where you as developers can share information about how to make games using the Source engine. It should also a place where a number of people at Valve contribute fairly regularly, with the plan being to make it the most information-rich place on the Internet to learn about making a game using Source.

The site currently contains all of the SDK documentation ported over to the Wiki format, but this is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of the content that is useful for developers to know when it comes to building games using Source. Everyone should feel free to go in and make any corrections or additions they think are appropriate."

Is it just a tutorial site with links to other sites? I thought it was gonna be like a community and you host your maps on their site or somthing. (Like a dev journal or that devedant art (sp?) site)

Bah it's not a developer community. It's Valve's sneaky way of advertising the source for sale.

When you create your account or do anything with it on that site your IP is loged. NOw if some mygot dick went around screwing things up all valve would have to do is put that IP through there steam account databace and match it to an account (steam logs your IP) next thing you know your account is baned and you have valve with some cops knocking on your door

wrong actually.

1.) i dont think steam logs ip's
2.) you can easily use proxys.

[nickmade]

Or you could do it the noob way and use a public computer It's near impossible to catch a pro :S

wrong actually.

1.) i dont think steam logs ip's
2.) you can easily use proxys.

1.) I know they long IP's with steam and the winki. They might not say it but time someone connects to a steam server (longin in and so forth) or transfers data it makes a log. Iam sure this is cleared every day but if they wanted to catch you its that easy.
2.) some people arnt that smart. And i think if you try to hack you are very dumb or are trying to catch the hackers by testing out the hacks.
