Source SDK doesn't create gameconfig.txt

Postby Vorondil on Tue Aug 17, 2010 4:36 pm

Hello,
first I want to excuse for my bad english. So please don't lock at my mistakes in grammar or vocabulary^^'
My questions refer to Dark Messiah, but as I'm using too the Source SDK, I hope to get some help here.

Actually, I'm trying to make my own Dark Messiah Maps. There I got severel problems:
in the pdf-document is written, that there would be a document called "GameConfig.txt" in C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\theexaggerator\sourcesdk\bin after installing the Source SDK. I installed it, startet it too und closed it again... stillt no file there.
I tried to get to the maps on another way and took the option "Edit Game Configurations" and added Dark Messiah... now I could choose Dark Messiah as Current Game. I startet the Hammer Editor and got the next problem:
the Hammer Editor can't open bsp-documents.
Why can't it do so?! Other Mappers too are opening the maps with the Hammer Editor :|

Hoping for help,
Vorondil

For you're last issue with opening .BSPs,
BSPs are the finished compiled map file.

You are looking for the .VMF, I do not know what Dark Messiah does about this but you might check you're
Steam\steamapps\playdoe\sourcesdk_content
There should be a folder here for Dark Messiah, it might be in a folder like "dm"

It MIGHT be handled the other way though,
which i will use L4D2 as an example.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead 2\sdk_content
Here you see we are in the "common" folder rather then our username folders.

If Dark Messiah has a folder titled "Source SDK" or "SDK_Content" like above, there might be some reference .VMFs for you're use.

Other then using the refrence,
YOU need to make the map, I'm not sure about Dark Messiah. It should have some documentation on building maps for it. You might see if it mentions a wiki of some sort in similarity to the VDC

Hope this helps you, and I hope you will be able to understand my English.

I actually think limitation is good for creativity. If we had an engine that could do everything, we would be in trouble. It gives us focus. ~~ Randy Lundeen

I understood what you mean.

And thanks a lot, I found the folder you was speaking about. Sometimes I'm just blind :smt021
Only if someone should look here with the same problem:
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\theexaggerator\dark messiah might and magic multi-player\mapsrc
That's the path... I took already some documentations to help... some said: "open the map" without any instruction and other gave me the wrong path .

EDIT:
Sorry... next problem -.-' In the Modelviewer, I can only see the background and in the hammer editor I can only see a black screen... even if I try to center the view on something or turn it.

Thanks alot again,
