SDK/Hammer Error

Since the update to the SDK that was supposed to or has added the ability to create maps for the orange box games, seems to have removed my ability to create maps for other games. Either that, or the new update causes errors since i don't have the orange box games. Whenever i create a new map in hammer for any of all the supported games i own, it gives me 10 error pop-ups, followed by a crash. I am very bored at the moment because the maps i have are getting old, and i can't make a new map. Please help and/or tell me a fix and/or if a valve developer reads this, PLEASE FIX!!!!!

Thankz a bunch --PortalsApprentice 14:36, 8 Nov 2007 (PST)

Hey there Portals, we are already working hard on getting hammer working, and I got it 99% working myself, though we are still suffering hard from getting compiles working correctly. I recommend reading this article and participating with your bug reports and eventual work arounds. Source SDK SE2 Bugs (And Work Arounds) Sortie 14:44, 8 Nov 2007 (PST)

Friend in Truble, SDK launch problem

Since the latest updates (Orangebox games update) of the SDK, one of my friends cant launch the sdk. Nothing happens when he trys to launch it in any way. I have had no truble whit the updates this far. I got the Orange box and can mod all the games, but my friend dose not have the orange box games if that chould be the problem. His Sdk have been working allright modding HL2 befour. Hes in desperat need of help atm. As we cant seem to find whatever is wrong on our own, can someone who knows what to do, tell uss what to do. So we can cure his SDK...

He should try adding "-engine ep1" to the launch options, without the quotes. Solokiller 11:53, 11 Nov 2007 (PST)
