Do you have Steam on? :v:

[antid2]

Yep, and no games running, and i'm online.

[Henry Townshend]

I've never seen or heard of that error before. Strange. What are you compiling with? Just command prompt?

[antid2]

yep

[Henry Townshend]

I don't want to mess with your compiling method or anything, but I might be able to help you better with something I'm more familiar with.

[antid2]

well, this is my first model so no worries about my "method" xD

still outputs:
SteamStartup() failed: SteamStartup(0xf,0x0012F170) failed with error 1: failed to take master pipe connection lock

I heard of it before. You have to kill steam.exe process and start up steam again and try again. Usually works for me.

[antid2]

bump? :/ nothing works

[AcroneSF]

Did you obtain Source SDK legaly? Like did you buy a source game and dl SDK from tools?
Its not that im implying anything but ive seen this error before in illegal versions.

[disseminate]

Restarting steam and all games (gmod, modelviewer, source sdk launcher etc) thru command prompt always works when I get this error

[antid2]

i've tried that. And yes, i own every valve game(legally)

[Jaanus]

When it happens to me, restarting steam or the SDK always fixes it.

[antid2]

Maw said it's cause i use Windows 7, any speculation about that?

[bluedyeno4]

Try having the sdk model viewer open while you compile.

[antid2]

When i restart steam and do it, the first time it gives this error:

SteamStartup() failed: SteamStartup(0xf,0x0012F170) failed with error 1: Failed create pipe: 6, Win32 Error 6 "The handle is invalid."

ps:
it wont let me open model viewer either, says same error as before.

[cloud_strife]

Delete your sourcesdk folder and let it re-download.

This usually fixes everything

Only option left.
