Trying to compile server plugin

[__37__]

I have walked through the steps of creating a source code only mod. I then went into the src/utils/serverplugin_sample and launched the serverplugin_empty.vcproj . I am trying to follow the walkthrough ( http://www.sourcewiki.org/wiki/index.php/Compiling_and_Debugging_a_mod ) on sourcewiki, but have run into a couple questions:

1. In part 3 it says: C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\_Your_Username_\s ourcesdk\sdkcontent\maps directory, copy the sdk_cubemap.vmf. I can't find the sdk_cubemap.vmf file. I have searched the entire valve directory and subdirectories and still no luck. Where is this file? Is it needed to compile a server plugin?

2. Is this the right way to compile a server plugin or is there another way to compile and debug it? The above turorial seems to be if I were making an actual 'game' mod. Is that the turorial to follow?

Thanks for the help.

Try opening the server plugin sample project.

Then for Microsoft Visual Studio, you should make sure that you have the following HL2SDK paths in your include settings (Tools -> Options -> Projects, VC++ Directories, Include Files).

* dlls
* public
* public\vsdtlib
* public\tier1
* public\tier0
* public\engine
* public\dlls
* tier1
* lib\public (this should be in your Library Paths!)

Change to "release" instead of "debug" and try compiling. Hopefully you'll get a serverplugin_empty.dll in your release folder.
