Then re-download Source SDK and run it in Episode1 engine. This is done by adding "-engine ep1" to your command line options. You can do this by right clicking on SourceSDK, going to properties, and clicking on "Set launch options..." Put "-engine ep1" in the dialog, and hit ok. Now try running it again. This will fix works for Hammer not sure about anything else though.--[[User:A2fatalassassin|Stalker]] 12:55, 15 Nov 2007 (PST)

If you have no idea what's happening here and can't get it working, please use any other workaround instead. Or ask for better instructions, please.}}
| | =Hammer Issues= |
| Many crashes with Mods and Episode Two hammer is related to hammer requires mounted content from the Episode Two GCF'S ( Game Cache File ).
| |
|
| |
|
| If you're making a mod, you can create a fake '''gameinfo.txt''' for use within Hammer. You can't do this with the normal '''gameinfo.txt''' because Episode Two doesn't support custom '''client.dll''' and '''server.dll''' binaries yet.
| | ==General== |
| | * Still getting blank viewports on Hammer. I believe this is a major problem. Tried to find a solution but didn't found any and I don't want to use 3rd party patches. I know there are a lot of users like me that have the same problem. Already reinstalled the SDK and have the lastest driver for my video card (GTX 460). Please tell us when are you planning to solve this because I really want to keep working on my mod. (Sorry if this is not the place to post this and if there is something that isn't really clear but I think that we all are aware of this issue). -[[User:medl|medl]] 2:45AM, 27 January 2012 |

| Follow the below steps to stabilize Hammer when working on Mods.
| | * If you right-click an entity with a model parameter (like prop_static) and open the model selection dialog, closing the model selection dialog and reopening it without closing the entity properties dialog first will cause the model selection dialog to be unresponsive to clicks. [[User:Flarn2006|Flarn2006]] 02:59, 30 January 2011 (UTC) |
| # If you haven't '''Reset Game Configuration''' yet, you must do it now in order to ensure things are like they should be.
| | :A quick solution is to close the unresponsive model viewer, deselect the entity, then ''reselect'' the entity, then ''reopen'' the model viewer. -[[User:Mattshu|Mattshu]] 05:54, 30 January 2011 (UTC) |
| # Launch Hammer in a working version, '''not''' using the Ep1 launch option. Episode Two should be working.
| |
| # In Hammer, go to '''Tools''' -> '''Options'''.
| |
| # Select '''[Your Modname here]''' as '''Configuration''' under '''Game Configuration''' under '''Options'''.
| |
| # Near the button, change '''Game Directory''' from
| |
| '''$SteamDir\SteamApps\SourceMods\[Your Mod Folder Here]\'''
| |
| to
| |
| '''$SteamDir\SteamApps\SourceMods\[Your Mod Folder Here]\SDK2007'''
| |
| # Open your Mod Folder and create a new subfolder named '''SDK2007'''.
| |
| # Insert a copy of your normal '''gameinfo.txt''', located within '''[Steam]/SteamApps/SourceMods/[Mod Folder Name]/''' and copy it into the new '''SDK2007''' folder.
| |
| # Open the '''gameinfo.txt''' within '''SDK2007''' and alter '''SteamAppId''' to '''SteamAppId 420''' in order to use Ep2 content for hammer.
| |
| # Most importantly change '''|gameinfo_path|.''' to '''"..\..\..\..\SourceMods\[Your Mod Folder Name Here]"'''
| |
| # Ensure you did the above correctly, otherwise you can't use custom content.
| |
| # This search path is based relatively to the Orange Box Bin folder within sourcesdk/bin/. You can't use '''|gameinfo_path|.''' because it points to the folder which this fake '''gameinfo.txt''' lies within, and thus contains no data. Neither is '''..''' possible since Source prevents escaping the root folder using '''..'''.
| |
| # Lastly launch hammer, with your set as '''Current Game''' in '''Source SDK Launcher''', Hammer will now load the fake '''gameinfo.txt''' and work, and your Steam Client/Your Mod should use the correct one.
| |
| # This workaround should enable the Hammer VGUI Model Viewer, the 3D views and the 2D views and all the new Ep2 features (Hammer Only) without your mod being ported to Episode Two at all.

| ====Work Around Dicussion/Helpdesk====
| |
| The first step mentions getting into a working state of Ep2 Hammer, but doesn't seem to give much indication on how to do this. I've tried the mentioned '''Reset Game Configurations''' and '''Refresh SDK Content''', but running Source SDK from Steam without '-engine ep1' has very little happen. The app appears to start then immediately exit. --[[User:Lagdotcom|lag.com]] 12:28, 9 Nov 2007 (PST)

|
| Same problem I'm afraid - there must be something else I need to do inbetween your steps 1 and 2. In order to 'Reset Game Configurations' I need to run Source SDK in ep1 mode, because the SDK window does not appear at all if I run it without. Any ideas? --[[User:Lagdotcom|lag.com]] 09:39, 12 Nov 2007 (PST)
| | * BUG: "env_embers" "Parent" option needs a fix as it don't work at all (Parent option is broken). Option for "env_embers" to have a working "enable" and "disable" on trigger. (As they can't be turned off and on) |

|
| You can't use Episode One Engine SDK, as I said in the instructions, back up your '''Source SDK''' folder, then rename it, and try launch Source SDK again, then you should get a fresh start. If nothing still happens, you got quite some bug beyond my powers. If so, say it here, and try Steam Support. [[User:Sortie|Sortie]] 10:21, 12 Nov 2007 (PST)

| This is way above my head. Even the paths don't match to anything like mine. I don't have a [Mod Folder] within SourceMods. My own folder is in a different place. Is it possible to link to some screens of what I have so I may get some help. I don't really like messing around with folders that were done automatically when I installed HL2. Is there another workaround or an update that will stop all of this nonsense? I am beginning to lose my rag with Steam or Valve (whoever caused this problem) and may just throw the lot away if they can't solve the problem that they have caused.

| | * Pasting func_instance entity keyvalues only affect the first selected entity if multiple selected. |
|
| |
|
| Hey Tonester, I suppose you're not making a mod at all, [Mod Folder] refers to whatever your mods folder is called, if you're making one. If you're not, here's quick how to do with with the game. Instead of using '''Steam/SteamApps/SourceMods/[Mod Folder]''', use '''Steam/SteamApps/[Your Account Name Here]/[The Game You Want To Edit]/[Short Name Of That Game. Eg. Hl2, Episodic, Ep2, etc. ]/'''. An example would be '''Steam\SteamApps\sortie\counter-strike source\cstrike''' in my case.

| ** How has this helped? I can't do a browser search. I have to look in each folder to look for a model. Why do Valve release bug ridden updates? Nov 7th, I was happily working on a map. Nov 8th, updated Hammer and now it doesn't work properly! Is there a way of reversing updates? [[User:Tonester|Tonester]] 13:49, 11 Nov 2007 (GMT)

| ** It don't crash, that's a help. The crash is caused by hammer trying to read unmounted data. Use the search path work around, for mods if you really want the VGUI browser.[[User:Sortie|Sortie]] 07:33, 12 Nov 2007 (PST)

| ==== Missing Episode One support for Episode Two maps ( Static Props Skin Related Crash )==== | | ==Sidebar Menus== |
| Episode One mods crash if they launch a map compiled by the Episode Two compile tools. Every time it tries to read the very same memory at '''0x0e3ca1a0'''.
| | ===2009 version=== |
| Many experimens have showed it's releated to Static Props, and further has shown the following criteria for the crashes:
| | ====Face edit dialog==== |
| *If only VBSP is run, then crash.
| | *The arrow keys now alter the alignment of the currently selected textures. In previous versions of Hammer the arrow keys moved the camera angles. Can an option be added to toggle this behavior? [[User:Solokiller|Solokiller]] 09:53, 13 June 2010 (UTC) |
| *If VBSP and VVIS is run, then it works.
| | *The random X and Y buttons sometimes forget what axis they are and have to be reminded by changing the number manually. Might stem from Copy Face function (ALT + Right Click). |
| *If VSP, VVIS and VRAD is run then:
| |
| **If the level contains '''Static Props''', the level crashes if:
| |
| ***If certain props are in the level, tests has shown that multiskinned props (eg. pipes) crash the game.
| |
| **Any other models have lighting problems, tests has shown that props facing certain angles are lit wrongly.
| |
| **Cubemaps can't be built in an Ep2 compiled map, without the game crashes with a message about some BSP Lump that couldn't be read.

Now if you want to go back to the first texture and change the rotation from, for example, -35 to -36 and use the up or down button to do so, it will automaticly jump to -359. You'll have to enter -35 again and start over. This has been around for over 10 years, but I thought I might finally report it. [[User:Hezus|Hezus]] 7 October 2010 |

VBSP claims to be lacking either MaterialSystem.dll or SteamFileSystem.dll and the others does complain similary.

| === General Model Viewer issues === | |
| | |
| * Within the new update (8 Nov) the [[Model Viewer]] works correct. But it fails with opening the model browser window when the Episode Two SDK configuration is applied: <code>The instruction at 0xxx3f018b referenced memory at 0x903f4009. The memory could not be "written".</code> When re-opening the Model Viewer via the SDK window the SDK generates a fatal error: <code>EnumerateApp( 211 ) failed: SteamEnummetaApp(211,0x1287fd34,0x1287fd78) failed with error 1: The registry is in use by another process, timeout expired</code>. When closing the error window, and re-opening the Model Viewer again, it fails with the same error. When opening Hammer and the closing it directly when it's opened, I'd re-opened the Model Viewer again. Now it's opening normal, but fails again with the first error: Memory could not be written. {{Note|Opening models from the <code>File</code> - <code>Recent Models</code> menu the Model Viewer works correctly without errors when opening them. <i>'''Also'''</i>: the errors above occurs only within the SDK's Episode Two configuration.

Same SMDs, Batch files, and .QC files worked fine before the update but now the compile makes it past the collision model line and then gives the above error message. The compile actually does generate a .MDL file but it seems to be corrupted as it causes both Model Viewer and Hammer to crash when it is loaded.

| Well, aligning is piece of cake, just remember to use the Left, Right, Top, Buttom, Center, Fit tools. Well that was a lie. :P. Sizing is another problem that always has been within the SDK, better support for scales with more than two decimals, which is, really really useful within the 3D skybox.

| Custom compile profiles aren't stored. They can be used during the session you created them in, but when you next load Hammer you'll need to enter everything all over again! --[[user:TomEdwards|TomEdwards]] 04:05, 10 Nov 2007 (PST)
| |
| '''Workaround:''' Use Batch compiles, if you do Hammer wont eat up memory that actually could speed up VRAD.

| ====Tie To Entity Info Lost====
| |
| | |
| If you are having this problem, then you probably don't know enough about the '''Group, Object, Solid''' tool. Please check that you haven't selected '''Solid''' by accident, if you have, switch back to either '''Group''' or '''Object'''. In the case this is a real bug, please add more indepth information about it below.
| |
| <s>*After tying an entity to a brush, when you click off of the brush then back onto it, you lose the entity properties box. It still shows any I/O used at the bottom. But it only shows up as the VisGroup view box. --[[User:Third Eye|Third Eye]] 14:13, 10 Nov 2007 (PST)
| |
| | |
| *''Edit: This problem seems to have gone away after closing and opening Hammer'' --[[User:Third Eye|Third Eye]] 15:50, 10 Nov 2007 (PST)
| |
| | |
| *This randomly occurs to me. The reason is that the select mode randomly gets changed to solids and if you tie to entity it works, but you cant exit and then double click again to change it again because it reads it as a brush again. To fix: change the select mode back to groups. --[[User:PortalsApprentice|PortalsApprentice]] 17:28, 10 Nov 2007 (PST)</s>

| ====Hammer Object Selection Crash====
| |
| | |
| When objects are selected in hammer or created, on either the 2D screen or the 3D screen. Hammer freezes and crashes although that may be in part to a missing FGD file that still would not explain why objects that have no entities freeze as well. A work around or Fix would be nice soon. --[[User:A2fatalassassin|Stalker]] 21:11, 10 Nov 2007 (PST)
| |
| Please, are you using the crashy and buggy Episode One hammer? The Episode Two hammer should be working well, are your FGD's fucked up? [[User:Sortie|Sortie]] 07:33, 12 Nov 2007 (PST)

| Cause : Light preview was keep when I closed Hammer before SE2, Why refresh sdk haven't reset viewport configuration?

| Any work arounds to fix issues with the SE2 Nov 7th release of the SDK should be added to this section. Bug reports should be added to the report section.

| ===<s>Recommended/Temporary Solution For: "Missing material..."&"Can't load File..."===
| |
| | |
| * You must add this to the launch options for the Source SDK (or use the workaround below) in order to edit games that run using the Ep1 version of the Source engine. (However it seems this hammer version has a lot of errors and the model viewer crashes the editor constantly, [[User:Sortie|Sortie]] 13:08, 8 Nov 2007 (PST))

| *'''Note:''' This workaround doesn't support compiling, the files located somewhere else now, and can't connect to '''MaterialSystem.dll''' and '''Steam_FileSystem.dll'''. Use the below work around if you want at least to be able to compile for Episode Two.

| === Episode One SDK Issues ===
| |
| *Now it is different. I get no errors in the orangebox but my map 3d view has infinite lines, and the 2d views as well. I am missing all materials. In the Ep1 version i have no materials either. All models are lines stretching to the origin. This is not fixed for me yet. -Raider666
| |
| * Valve/Steam seem to have solved this issue although others have taken it's place, remove the <-s>Strikeout<-/s> if the error is persistent for you.
| |
| <s>* I'm getting a "Missing material 'editor/flatnocull'" error. It only happens when I insert a custom mod into the gameconfig.txt. I'm wondering if all my paths are correct. Gonna check and report back if I can fix it.--[[User:Spektre1|Spektre1]] 13:14, 7 Nov 2007 (PST)
| |
| ** I'm also getting "Can't load FileSystemOpenDialog.dll" when Hammer first opens, when running a custom mod. --[[User:Spektre1|Spektre1]] 13:21, 7 Nov 2007 (PST)
| |
| ** Definitely seems to be an issue with the ep2 Hammer. If I switch over to Ep1, it runs everything fine. We're gonna need a list of what changes are necessary to upgrade our content and mod to Ep2. I'd want to do that if for nothing else than the new hammer stuff like turning off Nodraw faces. I LOVE that feature. --[[User:Spektre1|Spektre1]] 15:27, 7 Nov 2007 (PST)
| |
| ** I get the same "Missing material 'editor/flatnocull'" for custom mods, maybe we are suposed to use Ep1 until mods also got updated? --[[User:Bluestrike|Bluestrike]] 14:03, 7 Nov 2007 (PST)
| |
| ** I don't think it's just with the mod's when i try and open hammer it give me that same "Can't load FileSystemOpenDialog.dll" but when i ignore it and continue i get the "Missing material 'editor/flatnocull'" error, and the hammer flashes that like 7 times and then freezes and shuts down. Whatever the problem Valve/Steam needs to fix it soon. I am in the middle of making a map.--[[User:A2fatalassassin|Stalker]] 19:26, 7 Nov 2007 (PST)--
| |
| *** Exact same problem here. Adding ''-engine ep1'' to the launch options seems to have fixed both errors.[[A newbie]]
| |
| ** I am having even stranger issues. When I open hammer in orangebox i get the usual "Can't load FileSystemOpenDialog.dll" error, but if I switch over to the episode one, all of my materials in my map are gone and the models render as weird infinite lines in the 3D view. The map doesn't even open in the orangebox side. I don't know what valve did but this is really frustrating. I am in the middle of a map as well. -Raider666
| |
| *** Well hi. The Episode One version doesn't work at all as you pointed out. In order to fix the Episode Two hammer, click the '''Reset Game Configuration''' in '''Source SDK Launcher'''. Then it should work, eventually try my work above above.</s>

| === Hammer Material Browser===
| |
| I just started getting this one. Clicking "Browse..." causes Hammer to lock up, and become unresponsive to any input. I have to kill it with Task Manager. --[[User:Spektre1|Spektre1]] 00:38, 9 Nov 2007 (PST)

| ===Hammer VGUI Model Browser===
| |
| * Hammer crashes when entering the Model browser, after the Episode 2 SDK update. [[User:Solokiller|Solokiller]] 13:18, 7 Nov 2007 (PST)
| |
| :Fix: Extract Advisor.jpg from Source Models.gcf (it's under hl2/models) and
| |
| place it in "Half-Life 2 Episode Two/ep2/models"
| |
| | |
| And that should fix the crashing with hlmv. --[[User:Frostbite|Frostbite]] 14:27, 7 Nov 2007 (PST)
| |
| '''Note:''' This and other errors are caused by hammer requiring content from the Episode Two GCF's. Use the searchpath workaround to mount this content.
| |
| | |
| Attempted the searchpath workaround from above, but kept getting the crash error. What is the path to the models folder? Is it "Program Files\Steam\steamapps\username\half-life 2 episode two\ep2\models"? IF it is, it didn't exist on two machines, and the fix suggested with the Advisor.jpg didn't work by adding in the \models folder. --[[User:Dbmata|Dave M]] 00:34, 9 Nov 2007 (PST)
| |
| | |
| I tried creating the model path given just above from scratch, with the "Advisor.jpg" in the suggested folder at the end, and it didn't do a bit of good. My VGUI Model Browser has been totally fried since the update. It brings Hammer down every time I try to use it. [[User:sagesource|sagesource]], 01:59, 11 Nov 2007 (PST)
| |
| | |
| Under CS:S ep1 engine I can't use any models/textures. Everything is generic gray and models are ERROR. How do you extract Advisor.jpg? Thanks. [[User:Stormfury|Stormfury]] 13:02, 9 Nov 2007 (PST)

| === Texture Keywords Lockup ===

| * Hammer seems to lock up for me after I enter a keyword in the texture browser (filter works fine). Bug? --[[User:Baliame|Baliame]] 13:20, 7 Nov 2007 (PST)

| | |
| === General Model Viewer issues ===
| |
| <s>* When opening the [[Model Viewer]] with my custom mod configuration for the Source SDK, the program doesn't load up the model browser when clicking on <code>File</code> - <code>Load Model...</code>. There was no error report generated. --[[User:JurgenKnops|Jurgen Knops]] 06:41, 8 Nov 2007 (PST)</s>
