Hello,

I’ve been actively working on my S&box project every day for the past weeks, dedicating around 3–4 hours daily. The project — an advanced Prop Hunt game — is now close to completion, but still requires development before it becomes fully playable.

Unfortunately, I’ve just noticed that my developer access has been revoked, which currently blocks me from continuing my work.


Could you please let me know if there is anything I can do to regain access? I would really appreciate the opportunity to continue developing and finalize the project.


Thank you for your time and support.


Best regards,

Hi,
Unfortunately, I think you’ll need to wait until the 28th to buy S&box.
In the meantime, if you want to work on your project, you can download and build the open-source version of the engine.

Just follow these steps:

  • Clone the repo:git clone https://github.com/Facepunch/sbox-public.git

  • Go to engine\Sandbox.Engine\Application.cs

  • Find:
    public static ulong AppId { get; internal set; } = 590830;

  • Replace 590830 with 480

  • Using cmd, run:
    Bootstrap.bat

  • When complete, double-click:
    game\sbox-dev.exe

Thanks so much. Worked a treat!. If compiled previous to the AppId change, ensure you remove sbox-dev.exe and sbox-dev.dll to enforce a rebuild. I can now continue with my project . Will purchase on the 28th to support S&box but wanted to continue my project uninterrupted. Thanks again!
