Source SDK won't run - Garry's Mod

I was just looking through the forums, and decided I wanted to make a map(for the first time), so I looked on the mapping section. As the link said I needed to get on SourceSDK, so I go to Steam, I click SourceSDk, and it goes to the preparing game thing. It stops closes that screen, and just does nothing. So I cleared it off my Computer, reinstall it, and try again, but once again, it didn't load. Can you help me?

Right click on Source SDK, go to properties, set launch options, and type in: -engine ep1

[QUOTE=ferrus]Right click on Source SDK, go to properties, set launch options, and type in: -engine ep1[/QUOTE] Thanks! It worked!

That's because (stupidly without warning..) Steam assumes you have Hl2 Episode2 and tries to run SDK with the EP2 content.

Thanks alot it help me out aswell.

[QUOTE=ferrus]Right click on Source SDK, go to properties, set launch options, and type in: -engine ep1[/QUOTE] Thanks for me, too! It worked again....Even if i don't have Episode 1

But on mine it still didn't work with -engine ep1 :(

I get client timed out or steam ticket error when i try my own map using that command, please help =/, I can play on other maps fine and other servers.

No one knows? =/

Restart steam zolga.

[QUOTE=ring0]Restart steam zolga.[/QUOTE] Ive restarted it many times.... keeps doing it

[QUOTE=zolga]I get client timed out or steam ticket error when i try my own map using that command, please help =/, I can play on other maps fine and other servers.[/QUOTE] That's a bug, just rehost and it'll work, I've that problem too

Whenever I start hammer, it runs, but the blocks are still in wireframe, even though I set it on textured.

[QUOTE=Vadox]That's a bug, just rehost and it'll work, I've that problem too[/QUOTE] What you mean by rehost? ive restarted my game loads of times ? =/

can anyone help me? i really want to make a map.

My Source SDK doesn't work even if i put "-engine ep1" in the start-parameters. :( Anyone got an idea?

A: How the heack do you get to launch options? I click on propertis, then a screen called "SDK properties" comes up with tabs for "General", "Shorcut", "Compatibility", and "Security". Where do I go? B:make sure you're not using the wireframe texture.

I got it to work but I had to go to my steam tools and then went to properties and then went to general and then set launch options and type in -engine ep1 but you need to have half-life 2 ep1

I had to start a new account and first i got HL2 DM to get the SDK so anyhow i updated the SDK (automatically) its 100% ready and open it, it starts to load then closes. Can you get the SDK running on bare essentials? if so how? im not here very often so anyhelp please e-me or find me on steam //digimbyte at gmail 'dot' com //DIGI_Byte

[QUOTE=C22H28N2O]My Source SDK doesn't work even if i put "-engine ep1" in the start-parameters. :( Anyone got an idea?[/QUOTE] Yeah, me too. Oddly enough my brother uses the same computer as I but he has orange box on his account and I don't. Any ideas?

i got same problem nothing appear even i change the start command i can only see Source SDK on the Start Bar minimalized.... HELP PLEASE

Yeah, I need some help also; whenever I click 'Faceposer' in SDK it says: "Warning: The configuration information for the game you're trying to edit is invalid or missing." And then I click 'Run anyway' Then it said something like, go see the Valve help page or something, now it doesn't say anything and Faceposer doesn't open when I click 'open'. Here's what I have installed: I have Hl2, HL2 Ep. 1, HL2 Ep. 2, and TF2, etc. But I have them installed on another comp running Vista and I would like to do this using XP because it runs better, but I have the games on my XP comp but they are just not installed. Oh, and do I need 'Source SDK Base'? I would really appreciate the help, thanks. -Joe

Run the game for which you are face-posing before launching Faceposer. - Run the game - Quit the game - Run Faceposer

i typed in -engine ep1 or whatever in luanch options and it still doesnt work. please help
