hammer is acting up

[urcousinvinnie5]

I have looked online for every possible answer and I have not found one answer or even a chat ABOUT it

source SDK specs

engine version: source engine 2009

current game: half-life 2/episode 1 and 2

so my problem is a small window comes up saying

"failed to load the default scheme file the map view may be missing some visual elements"

after pressing okay another comes up saying

"fatal error" and the rest was read "model /models/props_junk/Trashdumpster01a.mdl not found and models/error.mdl couldn't be loaded"

and when i press OK it just quits the hammer editor. It does this with a lot of other maps (even HL2 maps) only with different props so i think that it isn't recognizing props from it's own game so if anyone can check that out please help

Sounds like something is wrong with the gameconfig?

Why not use 2013? I'm not aware if Valve has totally removed Source SDK support by now or not.

[urcousinvinnie5]

I tried using 2013 but it doesn't show up in the engine select

when mapping for hl2 and it's episodes (any source game) you have to use the new hammer, the exe is located in common/gamename/bin, for example HL2 "steam/steamapps/common/half-life 2/bin"

I just started mapping yesterday. I come from accursed farms and ross sent me here with both of us hoping I could edit (into a playable state) the newly released "civil protection: the tunnel" maps so of course i'll see what I can do

[urcousinvinnie5]

Still doesn't work

[marnamai]

that error only happens when you're using the old sdk (afaik), use the hammer in the gamefolder

[urcousinvinnie5]

i'll try

CLAP CLAP CLAP MY FRIEND THANK YOU

but still is there a way for you to actually see the map in it's regular 3D form instead of this wireframe crap

[ErikKiller]

So... does Ross know you don't know how to map?

[urcousinvinnie5]

eeeeeyeah but to him it's not top priority it's not for anything special it's only to distribute to the steam workshop

I want to edit it for Garry's mod

but you answered my question with another question so could you tell me yes or no

[ErikKiller]

Okay dude, cease and desist: stop using his name for things that are unconnected with him.



Look, you can fuck around with the maps, that's why they're out there, but stop trying to connect it to Ross.
Shit like this doesn't fly here.

To change out from the Wireframe view click the "Camera" in 3D view and select "3D Textured"

[urcousinvinnie5]

Look that's what I was trying to fucking say. you misunderstand me. I knew it wasn't a goal of ross's and that's what I tried to say, I never said I was helping ross. I was trying to do something nice for people who thought these maps were cool, but of course I am persistent I kept trying until I was completely certain they don't work. in my life I was taught to not believe EVERYTHING that I hear. so my intentions stem to the freedom to know I could and by the way me and ross talked it out and he understands so I will stop bugging him and I can get on with my life. but now I feel like the most retarded person ever and I should just drop off the face of the earth let alone internet. so goodbye all and fuck the world

Right...

Look man, feel free to mess around with the maps, I doubt they're the best ones to look at for a beginner but they MIGHT give you a general idea of how mapping for Source works.
