Hello there TF2maps community.

I've recently gotten back into playing TF2, and I've been wanting to make a map for it for a while now. My issue is, that I can't or I don't know how I can open a Hammer configured for TF2.

I don't even have the Orange Box -engine in the Engine Version dropbox. The engines I have are; Source Engine 2006, Source Engine 2007 and Source Engine 2009.

In Source Engine 2006 I can see Team Fortress 2 in the Current Game dropbox. When I try to launch Hammer with these settings, it tells me The configuration information for the game you're trying to edit is invalid or missing. [Run Anyway] [Cancel] [Help...]. Pushing [Run Anyway] prompts me with Hammer Error: gameinfo.txt doesn't exist in d:\games\steam\steamapps\steamusername\sourcesdk\bin\team fortress 2\tf..

I don't know what to do. I think I should open Hammer with Orange Box as Engine Version, and Team Fortress 2 as Current Game, but I don't have that engine version available. Even though I have bought Orange Box!

What to do?


Toodles,

EDIT: I tried re-installing Source SDK and resetting game configurations. Now I only have Half-Life 2: Deathmatch in Source Engine 2006.

Valve updated HL2 and EP1 to the OP code, and they changed the engine names to Source Engine XXXX.
Orange Box games should be under 'Source Engine 2009'.

Fair enough, but the only games I have under Source Engine 2009 are; Day of Defeat: Source and Garry's Mod. Any tutorials/instructions in how to add Team Fortress 2 up in that dropbox? :)

Try Reset Game Configurations. It sounds like you haven't used the SDK in a long time and have the old ones.

How odd. That didn't work the first time, but now I can see all the games under Source Engine 2009. Thanks for help both of you! :)
