Well over the last few weeks many threads have been made on the mapping section and i think it's about time we had a mega thread type thing where you guys can all ask questions about the faults and hope for answers instead of everyone making there own thread for it.
Anyways in this thread you can discuss almost anything to do with the SDK faults and hopefully you should get answers.
Hope this thread is handy and i hope all your questions are answered for you guys as these problems are nightmares.
Now get discuss'n. :v:
Let's state the obvious problem:
No grid.
How to fix? Fuck I forgot but I know I did it.
Switch to 2009 source engine on the SDK screen where you can click hammer and things.

The Source Engine 2009 version is working now, but The Source Engine 2007 version isn't.
(EDIT* Damn it hawx, you're too fast)
Before that I thought you had to open up the .cfg or something and edit a line.

Yeah valve added the new engine to stop the grid problem i think and added dual support for HL2:EP2.

Except that, for some people, compiling is having issues with 2009, yet works with 2007.
I'm one of those. If valve don't fix this...i'll voice an empty threat (ep3 boycott anyone?)
Have they fixed the brush entity func_tank yet? :geno:
Is there a reason I cannot "Create New Mod" for the 2009 engine? Does anyone know when I will be able to again?
[QUOTE=Steak;22446639]Is there a reason I cannot "Create New Mod" for the 2009 engine? Does anyone know when I will be able to again?[/QUOTE]
It's not supported... yet.
See guys isn't this better than posting individual thread's for each question. :3:
Much.

Do you think as members we should ask for this to stand out in some way so people don't overlook it and still post threads on things which could be answered here..
My hammer hasn't got the choice for a 2009 hl2 ep2 so I don't know what to do?

Didn't work.
[QUOTE=Im Crimson;22446417]Have they fixed the brush entity func_tank yet? :geno:[/QUOTE]
I would love to also know the answer to this question.
At the moment i don't think they have fixed it but i may be wrong.
Oh wow, can't even launch the tools for Ep2 with the Source Engine 2009. Why isn't it on the list?
It's not broken, it's a feature.
^Reset game configurations?
I can't launch EP2 either...

Resetting game configurations did nothing except clear my mod from the list :<

My bad :(
the thread tittled "Episode 2 is now running under the 2009 engine" has some fixes that you could use, it's a few pages back afaik.
The main thing that's annoying me is that I can't make a Source mod, if I make it in the 2007 engine it has no grid and if I make it in the 2009 engine.. Well, that's not supported yet.

I just reset my game configurations and it removed Hl2EP2 from the 2009 list :/
Have you guys tried creating a new Episode 2 configuration.
Just create a new one, name it Half-Life 2: Episode 2 and navigate yo your episode two\ep2 folder.
Aye, I just did that.
Here's what I added to my game config file, for those with issues:
[code]
"Half-Life 2: Episode Two"
{
"GameDir" "c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\dashtm\half-life 2 episode two\ep2"
"hammer"
{
"GameData0" "c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\dashtm\sourcesdk\bin\orangebox\bin\halflife2.fgd"
"TextureFormat" "5"
"MapFormat" "4"
"DefaultTextureScale" "0.250000"
"DefaultLightmapScale" "16"
"GameExe" "c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\dashtm\half-life 2 episode two\hl2.exe"
"DefaultSolidEntity" "func_detail"
"DefaultPointEntity" "info_player_start"
"BSP" "c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\dashtm\sourcesdk\bin\orangebox\bin\vbsp.exe"
"Vis" "c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\dashtm\sourcesdk\bin\orangebox\bin\vvis.exe"
"Light" "c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\dashtm\sourcesdk\bin\orangebox\bin\vrad.exe"
"GameExeDir" "c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\dashtm\portal"
"MapDir" "c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\dashtm\sourcesdk_content\ep2\mapsrc"
"BSPDir" "c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\dashtm\half-life 2 episode two\ep2\maps"
"CordonTexture" "tools\toolsskybox"
"MaterialExcludeCount" "0"
}
}[/code]
Obviously replace dashtm with your username.
You know the steam icon under your name doesn't link to your profile, right?
Mine does :dance:
