is the problem only with sdk, or are your source games also affected? i had the same exact error when i tried to launch the sdk. i noticed that i couldn't run cs source or hl2 either. i had to validate the hl2 files and cs source files, then wait for all the bad files to be re-downloaded before i could run hammer. after you do the validation, click on the steam icon in your task bar, then click monitor. it shows what games are being updated and their progress. wait til it's all finished, then give it a minute and try again. you may need to restart steam.
I have the same problem and it just happened so i am really pissed off so i did as you said anthony but it still didnt work!did you also try what rabid and i said?
more detailed info on what you have done, and are trying to, do might be helpfull.
well, it has nice detailafter taking a closer look at it, let me say it has very nice detail. i only took a quick look for obvious problems the first time. also, i bet it looks even better with something other than blank white textures on everything (the way it showed up in my hammer). id like to see it when its finished
well, it has nice detail, but hardly enough to be non-compilable. let me guess, you're not using zoners to compile?
a few other things i noticed are that the only entities you have are some func_walls. you have no lights or player spawns. not that the lights would matter because the entire map is exposed to the void and would be fullbright anyway. but that wouldn't matter either cause, like i said, no player could spawn in it to see.
so let me ask you this... why are you trying to compile a map that you have no way of looking at? on top of all that i saw that you used the aaa texture on several world brushes.
fix all the stuff i mentioned, and try it again. if it doesn't work this time (using zoners), post your compile log.

lol yeah, its shellchrome... man
dont worry about it... it happens 
do you get the same error still, or something different?
Try setting up a LAN server with your mapin case you dont know how, just clicj "create server" from the splash screen.
sorry, i dont see that in my pak.
also make sure you have the correct path in your env_sprite.
what game/mod is it for? is it standard or custom?
okay that helped with the Muzzle flashes,for that you can use an env_shooter. give it the same name as the ambient_generic you used for the gun sound.
but, i still have no idea how to make the shells eject from the gun.
use the following settings:
number of gibs: 1
model: models/shell.mdl
the rest of the settings, you can mess around with to get the effect you are looking for.
cool
ok this is the same error you asked about in another thread:
2. have you looked closely at those coordinates to see if anything looks strange?
3. have you tried to delete and remake that area?
4. run all your compile tools at normal setting.
5. tick "don't run game" after you open the window where you select "normal" for all the compile tools.
FindPortalSide: Couldn't find a good match for which brush to assign to a portal near (-816.0, 779.5, 28.0)1. read the tut for setting up hammer i posted in here like 10 times in the last week. look where it says build programs. you're using valve compile tools for bsp, and zoners for vis, which didnt run... neither did rad.

see if you can play all your source games. if not, do what it says here for any of your games/sdk that arent working: http://steampowered.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/steampowered.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=282
Can I point the bsp to something like desktop or a random folder, then move it to maps folder.or, if the problem is the @ like rabid said, you should be able to just rename that folder and take out the @... right? but if you did that, you'd also need to reconfigure hammer to let it know where all your stuff is since it will be looking for it all in a non-existant folder with an @ sign in it.
the easy way is to just send the compiled maps to some folder you put on your desktop then move them manually. the slightly more complicated way of renaming and reconfiguring saves you time in the future. your choice.
arent those just models?sort of. for example if you want to make a dune buggy, you just put the point entity "prop_vehicle_jeep" in your map, and instead of making the buggy brush by brush, you just asign it the model "models/buggy.mdl" like anthony said. it's really pretty simple.
sure you can! 
take a look here and validate your hl2 and cs source files: http://steampowered.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/steampowered.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=282
I know everybody asked this question but I couldnt understand any of the vehicle tutorials so anyone who could make an example map of drivable car...if this is for hl2, there's a vehicle example map included in the sdk.
sure, a lot of people do. you use your texture aplication tool. and you read the tuts at this site to learn how to use it and lots of other tools in hammer.
you have a leak?

"1. why do you keep following me around trolling for a response?"another blatent lie... please show everyone where i started flaming him in his maps.
Because you started a flame war against him in his map threads..
Stop insulting everyone, and maybe TWHL would be a nice place to live again.uhhh... ok, i only insult some of those who insult me...
Please let this end. I got bored of it 2 days after it started. I will admit everything you liedhmm...well, i thought we did let this end:
Anonymous: if not, i'll keep defending myself against the false accusations that I'M the one instigating and trolling...his post above that i'm now responding to was made after we both said it was over. now there can be no doubt in anyone's mind who is the one keeping this going. he lied and said i flamed trapt in his maps, accused me of insulting "everyone", and then called me a liar... all after he supposedly "let it end"

well, even though he posted more stuff about me after "it was over" i'll let it end here... will he?
trapt, 2 questions:
1. why do you keep following me around trolling for a response?
2. if this site is so full of flaming that poor little you needs to run away, then why are you flaming too?
kinda wierd... :

jahzel=crazy paranoid... who cares.
bl=religious fanatic trying to redeem himself... who cares.
but incase anyone who doesn't know these guys and thinks about taking what they say seriously:
bl please try for once to think before you speak. you accused me of doing exactly what peace o crap has been doing... tool. he voted my maps to one star, he continued the flame war AFTER andy told us to stop and AFTER i stopped, he ALWAYS talks sh*t about me 1st before i respond, etc, etc, etc... if you have the mental capacity to read an entire thread (including this one) you will see that you are full of sh*t for accusing me of all the stupid crap you farted out of your mouth.
this thread and every other one i said anything to/about peace o crap stand as indisputable evidence that i'm not the one STARTing talking crap. and i actually respond to quite few of his remarks... so if you want to try to be popular and threaten and attack the guy that some of the "super cool dudes" try to fight with... then keep up what you're doing. but if you actually give a crap about this site, and aren't just talking out your arse, maybe you should have a look a little deeper than what a couple "super cool dudes" here have said about me and this situation, and read for yourself what peace of crap and myself have actually said and see who's the cancer at this site.
so next time, instead of just coming across as a lamer and making stupid accusations because you think it will make you look cool, try to actually know what you're talking about. kthanks

P**** a** L***'s d*ck is SOOOOOOO small...
his dad uses it as a toothpick
his dad uses it as a toothpick
wow you rated all his maps 1, really good.nope, thats what he did to my maps...
You must've crushed him there, really, he's probably devastated.na, the ratings have nothing to do with it. i just proved him to be a complete loser in there. i chose to keep the fight between us where no one would ever look (his maps
), but he kept trying to argue with me out in the forums and shoutbox etc. andy said this was disruptive to the site, so i wouldn't respond to his angry little infantile remarks... i'd just post a link to his maps comments... where i obviously tore him a new one.see, i realize that no one cares about our fight, but peace of crap is so delusional, that he thinks anyone actually gives a f*ck about him... that's why he keeps trying to save face for what i did to him in his map comments, out here in the forums, etc. He's obviously still feeling the beating i gave him. why else would he still feel the need to try to flame me in the forums?
little boys little feelings still hurt?
get lost useless...nerds are for beating

and it is not funny to pick such a name to flame peace and love, anonymous.yeah, i agree pepper. but if you read that a little closer, you can see that he is actually making a sarcastic attempt at a flame towards me. here too: http://cariad.co.za/twhl/forums.php?pgt=1&action=viewthread&id=5378&pg=1
it's just "you know who" with a fake account trying to save face. he cant let his beating go... but no one cares, so he made an account to stick up for himself.
i wouldn't have mentioned it here, but it was suggested that i was the culprit and i just wanted to clear things up.
stop whining about what annoys you... it's annoying oh wait
oh wait congrats seventh, use your powers for good so freedom fighters dont need to come in and asasinate the few opressive cowards that try to take over
post your compile log. your map will also be fullbright if you haven't run rad. just post the log so it can be looked over.
amen. just ignore the few rude jerks who make the most noise... they have problems that they try to take out on others. you'll figure out pretty quick who the jerks are.
This post was made on a thread that has been deleted.
He said he fixed it =/he went on to say:
For anyone who would like to know what i actually did...so if what he's telling others to do is wrong, it should be pointed it out and the right way be told.
thanks for clearing things up and keep up the good work racer...
i did, but i just see that i can save it as a .bsp for 1.6 ehm how do i save a file in hammer as .bsp??since there are lots of tutorials, and since you're a noob and have no idea which one to look at, heres a clue: http://cariad.co.za/twhl/tutorial.php?id=35
you need to compile your hammer map before you can play it in cs. post again if you have any problems compiling it after you read the tut i linked.
wow what a pathetic bunchto clarify, i was including myself in this group
wow what a pathetic bunch... i remember the "terrible things" thread was loaded with awfull stuff... this thread is pretty sparse. have so few people had anything good happen to them?
a good thing that happened to me was that my gf bought me some dvd's the other day. shes really good to me in general.

And I use rotate and fit in the textur applicaiton all the time.and neither of those will make the door how you want it. just do this:
using the "texture application tool", left click on the texture you want to adjust, then, where it says scale up at the top, make the x number negative and push apply.
if you don't understand this, post exactly what you dont understand.
oops i missed a few posts while i was taking a leak and typing mine...
yeah killer your question's been answered, you've been given two different ways that will get your door looking exactly like you want it. if you dont understand one, try the other. (and i'm not talking about rotating the texture since you said that's not what you're wanting).

the quickest way for him to do what he wants is to just use the To Face methodyeah, i didn't know if the arrow pointed up, down, left, or right on the texture or if he meant opposite direction when he said "other direction" or if he wanted to get the arrow to point the opposite than it shows up normally when you browse it. i was just giving a generic answer factoring in all the unknowns. you're probably right about him just using the to face method, as he probably just wants the back of the door to match the front...
how I make the arrows on door (C1AOB_DR4B) point the other way?i don't know which way the arrow points on that texture, but you can use your "toggle texture application" tool in the left tool bar to turn it around.
using the tool, left click on the texture you want to adjust, then either put a minus sign (-) in front of either the x or y numbers where it says scale and push apply. that will make the texture reverse its image.
or, using the same tool, you can try rotating the texture to get the arrow pointing the intended direction.
your approach should depend on wether or not there's any writing on the texture and which direction you want the texture flipped or spun. experiment with the tool and you should get the door looking how you want in no time.
an easy way to get the texture to emit the exact colour of light you want is to make a light entity and have it be the colour you want the tex light to emit. then just copy and paste the numbers from the light entity next to the texture name in your lights.rad... like grim suggested.
there may be easyer ways to find what numbers make what colours, but that's the way i always do it.
