If you're having problems seeing the TF2 textures, here is a fairly simple way to get rid of that horrible purple checkerboard.
First, download the textures at this link:

Then go into your Sourcemods/MyMod/materials/overlays folder and replace detail001/007 with the new textures.
Now when you open Hammer, all of the TF2 textures should be visible on your models. Enjoy!
So will this enable you to set up your Hammer Editor to create levels for team fortress without using sdk?
I have been trying to figure this out for a week now! If this works it will be amazing!
SDK is installed but whenever i double click it or launch it, it says preparing to launch sdk... then doesnt do anything. I can use hammer independently of steam, but it wont let me make a map because i dont know how to assign the game and the mod locations.
Please help! What should i do?
edit - for some reason it wont let me log in as durbanpoison anymore, or retrieve my password...
I got that too, I had to put in a special request to the admin
Where did you go to put that request in? Steam's support page is made to confuse you.
