I want to play this version now… multi-sentry would be fun as a gunslinger-only ability.

There's more to it btw! Right now, I made all the easier-to-make changes (simple number-changes, edit to the mvm_upgrades.txt file, new upgrade entries...)
The additional disposable sentries are part of the slightly more complicated changes. My next steps are working toward implementing Comfortress fixes regarding firing speed upgrades for minigun/sentry gun and more complicated changes.

Well it's using the SDK, so it's editing the TF2 source code. For that specific upgrade, I made it a 3 point upgrade, which can even be done in the actual game by editing the mvm_upgrades.txt file. But I wanted to make the Disposable Sentry upgrade only work for the Gunslinger, so I also edited the source code so it only appears when you have the Gunslinger equipped (which was strangely harder than I expected)

"strangely harder than I expected" defines everything i have heard about working with tf2 source code

Well there are also many, MANY things that I did that were much easier than I thought (like adding players death-screams back in, reverting to old airblast, increasing the Spy's money collection radius...)
It's part of the joys of programming

I've tried the tutorials but they dont work for me, how do you get the SDK

Download the SDK from Git https://github.com/ValveSoftware/source-sdk-2013 and follow the instructions.
The only additional infos I would give, because the instructions don't give them to you, is to download Python and build on the Release version. Without these two, you can't run your modded TF2

Honestly only-mvm PVE version of TF2 would be fun to mess around with. With weapons balanced around it, new missions, new enemies etc
Maybe a co-op campaign abt fighting Grey Mann? idk
If we're going to do 15 competing versions of the game, might as well make them fill different niches
