I am getting this error: "Gameinfo.txt not found in c:/program."http://www.crapbucket.brad.com/error.jpg

It used to be that oyu oculd not compile your maps and have them run directly out of hammer. That was b4 the full SDK. Now that i ahve the full one it is still not working. What gives?

It seems to want to use DOS pathing where spaces are not acceptable. How do i change this?

No, you see, the folder the maps are compiled to is "c:\program files\valve\steam\steamapps\nickelplate\sourcesdk\sdkcontent\maps"

It is looking for everything in C:/program." it cuts off after the first space. So in order to compile your maps, you must use DOS paths which means that anything longer than 8 characters ust be cut down to 6 characters and have ~1 added to the end. So the right path SHOULD be

"c:\progra~1\valve\steam\steama~1\nickelp~1\source~1\sdkcon~1\maps"

I figured it out. Thanks
