Hi all, me n00b to Hammer :smile:

Ive set my Hammer up for HL2DM mapping, Ive created an extremely pathetic map and now want to play it, i added an info_player_deathmatch AND an info_player_start (not sure what difference is) and compiled it.

I copied the .bsp file it created into my HL2DM/Maps folder and dedicated server/hl2dm/maps folder and it shows up in my HL2DM but when i click on it, it wont launch, it just goes back to the HL2DM main menu.

Im sorry if i sound so n00bish, i am a n00b and therfore sound it :smile:

Hope some kind fellow can help me.

cheers

does your map name have any spaces in it? like DM Map it should be dm_map. No spaces
