Thread: Source SDK hammer help..

Well im trying to remake a certain map i made in the past hahah but im about to punch my computer because i cannot get hammer to work for dod and i know its because of the orange box update.. I have read that you need to change the config to add dod to the OB i have done that but still get the same error.. The error says something like fatal error missing editor/flatignorez PLEASE HELP!!! lol

Can you please give the specific error?

I go to launch hammer from source sdk and i get this:

"The config info for the game you're trying to edit is invalid or missing."

i click run anyways and then get:

setup file "gameinfo.txt" doesn't exist in "C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\******\day of defeat source\dod"
Check your -game parameter or VCONFIG setting

I have read to launch the game your trying to edit and it would fix itself but i have tried that and its still not working....

edit: you dont want people knowing your steam login name

Ugh interesting.... I messed with my configs then went to sdk reset the configs and viola day of defeat now appears in the orangebox list and works.. Dont know what i did but it works lol

hehe ya i was going to say that bug in he sdk was fixed a while back. Likely what happened was you installed the sdk when the bug was active, so gameinfo files where inccorrect and not in the orange box folder.
