Good day all! I hope to become a contributing member here, as your forums seem to be a really great place.
However first, I'm having some problems with the Source SDK and Hammer I hope you can help me out with.
Firstly, I'm running Windows 7 RC, 64 bit, for reference.
So basically, the problem is firstly, that the Source SDK is not working.
I try to launch it through Steam, and the program appears to start, appearing in the Superbar, however nothing ever appears on screen (I left it going all day).
However, this is not a huge deal as I can get around this by manually launching Hammer from its executable in the orangebox folder.
Again, however, upon launching and choosing the TF2 launch option and trying to load my map, I get the message "Failed to load the default scheme file. The map views may be missing some visual elements." This is true, as I cannot see any measurements for my brushes - e.g. how high, wide, long something is. It's simply not there.
Then, the second problem is that the editor will crash as soon as I attempt to browse for models. I create a prop entity and try to choose a world model, however a few seconds after clicking 'browse', the editor will close completely with no error message.
I'm really stuck here, as this makes it really tricky to do anything but copy/paste existing brushes and fit them to already existing areas in my level.
If anyone could help, I'd greatly appreciate it!
Thanks,
