Alright so i just started using hammer and im making a map. I understand most of the program but when i go file run map it opens up Half Life 2 Episode 2 and just goes to the menu then it sometimes says mapname.bsp doesnt exist. The Engine version is Orange Box and current game is HLF2 Episode 2
Please could tell me how to fix this i really need to test my map
Open up your settings and check the output folder of your compiled .bsp.
Also check 'dont run game when map is compiled' box in the compiling screen, and just open it up in garry's mod or whatever you're mapping for rather than the Source SDK Base.
I have had this problem before aswell, I fixed it by removing illegal letters in the name such as spaces.

Add a light_enviroment.
Then change the skybox into something dark.
Then go to valvesoftwares developer wiki and look for "night skybox settings"
(unless the sky should be lit up, obviously)
Then add normal lights, any way you want.
