This is what happens when I try File>>New on Half-life 2 Deathmatch.

Any other info will be provided on request.

Did you do what the message says? Did you check to make sure your setup is correct?

Below is a link on how to manually configure Hammer. Not all of it pertains to you, because for the most part that is automatically applied. But this will help you understand where everything goes:

Hammer Manual Configuration

Oh, and if you're running the SDK first without having launched the game you're trying to make maps for, you will get errors...Run all the games first, then launch the SDK and Hammer. See if that fixes your problem first.

I have done what the message says, all the settings were correct and I have run HL2DM before I started up the SDK (although I will double check after I post this). As far as I can tell it should be working.
Also this is the only game this does this for. If it helps though, all my HL2 games are in the Source Engine 2009 category except for HL2DM which is in 2006.

EDIT: I double checked and ran HL2DM and then tried again with VHE and the error still persists.

HL2DM is on the 09 engine since the last major update.

There are afew hoops to get it working with the SDK.

Worked well for me.

Be aware that Valve has fucked this game up a lot with the engine migration, and not just gameplay...e.g. apparently trigger_teleport no longer works

Now that I finally figured out how to re-activate the old "SnarkPit" account, I can reproduce other articles and files for use on our own site without people affiliating my name with it. They can just know it's provided and hosted by the SnarkPit for anyone to use.

And with that ability, I'm re-posting that solution for the Pit. We now have an official article for the work-around (with proper credits of course). smiley

Check it out! http://www.snarkpit.net/snarkpower/articles/game/cat/pn/tp/213/HL2DM_Hammer_Configuration_Issue

Wow, so even if I got it working a couple of the entities are broken? Can I get a list of which ones?

TBH I'm not sure. More bugs are popping up all the time. Best bet is to ask one of the guys over at the hl2dm-unversity architecture forum. Maybe a list could be started here too.

Yea, I could totally update that thread with a running list. Let me know if you guys find anything, and I'll work to include it in that new article.
