Hammer Setup HELP! Created 15 years ago2009-04-06 20:32:37 UTC by emc

Hello! I am new to these forums but I have already been looking at tutorials on how to set up hammer but I am still having problems. I used this tutorial to help me setup Hammer 3.5 with steam (which btw is very annoying and valve should have a goldsource hammer like sdk): http://twhl.co.za/tutorial.php?id=47

I am having errors when compiling and I get the error: "Could not find filesystem dll to load."

Here are some Screens of what my Build Programs as well as Game Configurations look like:

For some reason my DOD won't load at all and it looks like all of the directories are correct, what am I doing wrong?

On a side note, because of these errors that I can't get past I have done research and found that you can use Hammer 4.x which is used for Source SDK to run Gold Source. I went to this site: http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/GoldSource_mapping_in_Hammer_4.x

I got as far as modifying Gameconfig.txt and I can actually see Day of Defeat under Ep1 for Source SDK. However I always get this error before Hammer Opens: "c:/steam/steamapps/account/dayofdefeat/dod/gameinfo.txt is not a valid format."

If I can get past this then I think I could make it work, however I really don't understand how to make my gameinfo.txt work. I put it in my dayofdefeat/dod folder like it says but there is no information on how to get it to work properly!

Any help on getting Hammer 3.5 to work with Day of Defeat on steam or any help on getting Hammer 4.x to work with goldsource would be much appreciated.

btw, why doesn't valve include a goldsource hammer within steam? it's really frustrating.

Whats with the email adress in the middle of your Steam folder!? It's a wonder anything works at all with that there.

thats my account name, you need an account name to play games.

In that case, your account name is ridiculously long.

yes it is, made it when i was 12. please help now?

Well I'm not big on DOD or mapping for Goldsource via steam. First off, did you type those directories in or did you actually used the "Browse" button because the whole set up looks a mess to me.

I used the browse button. It looks wierd cuz the build programs are in a separate folder, the same folder as my standalone hammer is in. The .fgd is in the same folder that it is being pointed at. Also the .rmf folder i know doesn't have to be in a steam folder.

if you look at this:
http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj226/Game650/SS1.jpg

I have Game Executable Directory c:\halflife - c:\steam\steamapps\account\day of defeat
I have Mod Directory c:\halflife\tfc - c:\steam\steamapps\account\day of defeat\dod
and I have Game Directory c:\halflife\valve - c:\steam\steamapps\account\day of defeat\valve

It all matches.

Don't try running the game after compiling, compile, run dod, enter 'map mapname' into console (without the quotes)

YES. it worked. I guess i can't run the game when compiling, that's all i needed thank you very much.

You were following the wrong tutorial. Try this one: http://twhl.co.za/tutorial.php?id=86

I used both, they say the same thing and neither really worked. Yodalman gave me what i needed.
