Well i downloaded source sdk and i would like to try making a map for source. but i am confused, i searched the forums but didnt really see anything for source sdk or setting up hammer for source. what is source sdk (i thought it was hammer 4.0) maybe i am searching for the wrong terms, all i can find is setting up hammer for cs or half life.
thanks
a little confused. please advise

Do you have Steam?
If not, get Steam. Install the Source game you wish to map for, then install the Source SDK from the Tools tab (left click, install).

You don't have to set up the SDK. Once you've installed it properly, just run it, pick your game from the menu and select Hammer. Then start mapping!

ok i did nothing wrong. thanks for the replies in the future this is the fix.
paste: -engine ep1
into the launch properties. That's because (stupidly without warning..) Steam assumes you have Hl2 Episode2 and tries to run SDK with the EP2 content.

Huh, interesting. I didn't even think of that!
Glad you got it sorted out, so go map.
