I finally got around to making tf2 maps and beacuse im kinda new i thought i would start with a simple ctf map, the first problem i encounter is that i will not load up in the actual game or when i test run it directly in hammer. here is the compile list but so far it has proved useless when it comes to information

Do you have an info_player_teamspawn in your map?

If you do then It may be because your map file has a space in it. Example: ctf_swift water
Space in map name=big no no.

Instead do this: ctf_swift_water
And in game the _ will look like a space in game

ultimate ssdk v2?
That's what I thought.

This is where the directory is by default:
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\(username)\sourcesdk_content\tf\mapsrc
(if you're running it from the C: drive)

And Bad Pun, the map name is first_time.bsp - I don't see any spaces there.

A quick search for Ultimate SSDK on google brings up torrents.

Do you even OWN Team Fortress 2?

Bold part is the important one. It is being copied to the wrong directory. Go to Tools > Options > Game Configurations and change Game Executable Directory to $SteamUserDir\team fortress 2 and Game Directory to $SteamUserDir\team fotress 2\tf (edit: to clairfy, because the forum font sucks, that is a dollar sign in front of the word steam)

I am guessing either it is launching real TF2 and the map is not in the right place, or it is launching a pirate copy of TF2 that is shipped with this pirate SDK. Assuming you can't actually use the real SDK (you should try to fix that problem first), the above should make the map go to the right place, and launch the right copy of TF2.


To everyone else: you guys didn't really look at the log, did you? :p

it messed up my source sdk tf2 configurations but it doesn't matter now i think i found a way to fix the problem besides the map i made probably wasn't any good anyway thanks though
