[size=13]Hi,
im very new to the source engine, and already encountered a few
problems. The drop down box in the Source SDK menu only has portal in
it, and i want to create a map for deathmatch. But when i go to load
hammer, there is a message saying "No game configurations to run
with.", these problems i presume are linked.

Any help appricated.[/size]<html><head><link rel="stylesheet" href="themes/standard.css" type="text/css"></head><body topmargin=2 leftmargin=2>

Phew, strange.

Just restarting the SDK, steam and windows can do wonders sometime, but I'm quite sure you could have come up with that yourself. :wink:

Next thing to try: In the games/tool list, get the Source SDK's properties and write

-engine ep1

for the start parameters. It should start an older version of the SDK which might be less bugged for HL2DM.

If nothing helps, uninstall the SDK and re-download it via steam. Delete all the contents in the sdk-folders in your steam directory as well.

Also learn how to set up Hammer to work with a specific game here:

Most settings should be correct automatically, though.

Good luck, the start can be a little rough if you see all the tools for the first time.

Why snark works.

Thanks for the help, i got half way to
solving my problem, at least hammer works again but even after reading
the link u sent me, i still dont know what to enter into the file
location boxes to get it recognize
DM.

I think it may be something to
do with the orange box, because all the file locations have change
after its install. Im not sure like i said im new at this.he</span></span>ad><body topmargin=2 leftmargin=2>

Hmmm... file location boxes? Maybe you mean the paths of the compile programs?

Things did change with the orange box. I think if you're using the old ("ep1") tools, you have to change the paths to "\sourcesdk\bin\ep1".

Why snark works.

In your steam menu, go to File>Settings. In the Account tab, you'll find that there's a sourcesdk beta that you can use. This should allow you to map for both ep1 and ep2 games, without messing around with launch parameters.
