No, because it's not broken for everyone...

Try reinstalling it, it worked for me
 
blinking halo, youre not alone :| mine broke down a few days ago. isnt there a new one coming out on the 9th ?

-dodo
 
mine regularly crashes when returning to the desktop after compiling and testing a map, just when i had fixed the "cannot find file..." problem.... *sigh*
 
Mine won't compile my map :( I sincerely hope there is a update on the 9th. I'm mapping in Hammer without testing anything in-game :O
 
im still getting this file cannot be found error after redownloading the sdk gcf goddamnit.. gonzo how exactly did you reinstall it? did you delete your entire steam folder or something?
 
You have to run the game you're sdk'ing for to get it to work properly. Every time you load it.
 
I had this problem a few days ago, i went into the Source SDK load up menu (where hammer and the modelling tools are) and selected 'Refresh SDK Content', then i closed down Steam, and restarted the SDK with -beta Sdk enabled again, it had to re-download the new SDK but now everything works fine. Try that.
 
thanks for your suggestions guys, i got it to work by deleting the sourcesdk folder from my user folder, once it recopied the files over it worked again.
 
i do recall having a similar problem. But deleting Sdk for me and reinstalling didnt fix the problem. I had to delete my hl2 files completely, reinstall hl2, and then install sdk again
 
so when will the official dod:s update arrive for hammer?

You can already make DOD:S maps with the beta SDK.

so if the beta sdk works then when does the official update come out?

i enjoy makin maps but i dont want to start mesin with the settings in sdk coz i will really fookit up!

all i want is to be able to go on sdk and select dod:source and start playin around :(
 
who are you not the guy who flamed and insulted everyone included moderators in a frantic rage about someone proposing the idea of a mod about the ira before they were a terroist organisation? come crawling back have you?
 
erm.. unlike some i dont live here and therefore dont feel the need to crawl, i still stand by what i said, coz his facts were runny, v v runny.

and i laughed

ps try to lever urself out of ur computer seat.. there is a world out there.. possibly with some more crack for you. :p

life dude seriously, fresh air and such, trees and birds.
 
your a beeing a hypocryt by posting here making fun of other for posting here. i used the forum because im into modding and this is a good community to help/request help and debate things mod related.

secondly i dont / never have done crack. thats just a joke.

and finally i dont even use the computer that much compared to most people. i am on it for work so i often check my emails and posts. and contrary to what you seem to believe i do work for a human rights charity. i do write and proofread for their magazine. and i would imagine ive accomplished alot more that you in my short lived lifetime than you have so i think you should take your own advice on the life thing. i would also like to point out its been two years since i joined.
 
grr aargh, now that we've all got that off our pigeon chests and the dust in our parents' basement has settled...

the latest sdk update hasn't fixed everything i notice. the cursor is still largely ignoring its use context, for a start
