Okay, so I started Hammer (L4D2 Authoring Tools), and the a "Hammer Configuration" menu pops up. I decide to cancel, and then I get two error messages, 1 from Hammer itself, and 1 from VConfig.

*Hammer: Setup file 'gameinfo.txt' doesn't exist in subdirectory ''. Check your -game paramater or VCONFIG setting.

Upon further investigation, while there is a GameConfig.txt file in the bin directory of left 4 dead 2, there is no vconfig folder, and GameConfig.txt is only just 3 lines of text:
 
"Configs"

}
 
Could somebody please help me with this?{{unsigned|BlackRaven117}}

Consider Different Game Example (or link to HL2DM setup?)

The use of HL2DM as the default SDK example should be examined. TF2 seems a better choice for 2 reasons. 1 it's free to play. 2 The actual setup of hammer with HL2DM is not as simple as this example indicates. You have to create a new configuration with the current version of the SDK. I had to look through several forums before finding the solution. This post explains in detail how to setup this configuration, though when I did it, instead of creating the configuration under Source Engine 2009 I used Source Engine MP. --Erebuswolf 05:46, 30 July 2012 (PDT)
