map compiling

[Shuger]

Hi everyone.

I thought somone can help me with my problem.
The problem is that when i create a map and try to compile it, when it goes to bsp i get an error and map is not stored with .bsp format.
I thought that maybe my files are corrupted so i downloaded zoner's tool(i couldn't find normal ones anywhere)
Even now map compiles but when i launch a game i get error in console which say's that bsp file is invalid or doesn't exist.
I'm storing map in .../half-life 2/hl2/maps folder.
Can anybody tell me how to fix it or when can i find newest version of valve compiling tools?

well, if you dl the source sdk through steam, hammer is included, hammer IS valve's newest map compiler. if that doesn't help, im not sure i understand your question.

Hm...post a screenshot please or copy and paste the compiler information

Hammer is not the compile tool, it uses the compile tools included in the sdk in the bin folder. Zoners tools are only for HL1 so don't use em for Source Games like HL2. The right compile tools are vvis, vrad, vbsp.

Well, i have source sdk with hammer editor but compiling tools included in it somehow don't work. Anyway thanks Ti133700N i haven't knew Zoner's tools are for hl1.I've asked if anyone knows where can i download from only vbsp without whole source sdk.

I know why i couldn't play my maps. i've dowloaded source sdk from fileplanet and i guess it' for hl in global.
Anybody knows where to get source sdk for hl2?
I can dwnload from anywhere in EXEPT of steam.

as far as i know, steam is the only place you CAN get it from. why cant you get it from there? didnt you buy hl2?

The only thing you'll find on the net is the old Hammer for HL1 and CS 1.6. You can't map or MOD for Source if you don't have Steam (HL2). (Well you could but I won't tell you how).

I simply don't like steam but if it's the only way i guess i have no choice
