I've made several maps before, just not in TF2. I made around 3 or 4 TTT maps for Garry's Mod, the most recent being several months ago and a very complex and semi-well received one. I took a small hiatus from mapping, but now I want to get into making TF2 maps. I plan to make a KOTH map as my first, as they seem to be the simplest. I've read a few pages about Spawn Rooms and such, but I'm not able to test my map. When I go to to run Map, I set VIS to Fast and BSP and RAD to Normal, but as it compiles, it says it's unable to find the file.
I delved into the options to see what was wrong, and I'm not sure what the problem is.
Game Executable Directory: $SteamUserDir\Team Fortress 2
Game Directory: $SteamUserDir\Team Fortress 2\tf
Hammer VMF Directory: $SteamUserDir\sourcesdk_content\tf\mapsrc
I'm fairly certain the problem is in the 3rd one. I tried changing it to the tf\maps, but that didn't solve it, so I set it back to what I believe was the default, as shown above. What do I do? Hammer has had a reputation of being an ass with me and several of my mapper friends, but it's usually at least opened the map.
(To be fair, Source SDK didn't work, I had to go into the Team Fortress 2 Directories to hind hammer.exe, but I digress)
