Hey,
I've been making items for submission to Valve's game Team Fortress 2, but have hit a stumbling block thanks to their new upload requirements; the items have to be compiled.
The only way to do so is by using their freeware Source SDK application.
This is only available for PC and they do not intend to make a Mac port apparently...
I'm running on a Macbook Pro, OSX 10.6.8.
I don't have enough money to even think about buying/upgrading anything thanks to unemployment and loan debts, so...
Does anyone know if Wine can support the Steam application and Source SDK, or how I would find this out? Google isn't exactly being...helpful, and the Valve user forums are full of trolls who don't quite understand the meaning of "I don't have enough money to get a PC".
I can't run Steam games/applications on Parallels because it can't handle the load (ends up freezing/crashing), and I no longer have Bootcamp due to Windows XP fatally glitching. (can't find my XP install disk anyway so that option's gone)
Or, alternatively, are there any other freeware PC-support applications I can use to achieve this?
What needs to be done:
--install and/or open Steam on the skin/virtual machine
--install Source SDK (can only be done through Steam) onto the skin/VM
--run SDK (again, only through Steam) within the skin/VM, importing files from the Macbook
--export the final compiled .ZIP to the Mac
Macbook Specs:
2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Thanks in advance, any help is much appreciated.
Apologies if this is in the wrong section ^^;
