hi, new here, nice site btw.

right, first backround info on me. Im a mapper, have been mapping for about tree years now, worked on a small mod once but it disbanded before finishing... i think.

anyway, my problem. I cant map anymore because SDK no longer works.

I've been having problems with my PC randomly crashing for about a year now and have tried everything to try and fix it, this includes wiping everything from the pc and starting again. unfortunatly this meant i had to re-download SDK and half-life ect.

now, when i load up SDK it does its little loading box the mouse whirres a little bit, that timer thing appears neext to it and then... nothing.

i don't know whats wrong, ive tried deleting everything and re-installing it, downloading SDK base, deleting and re-downloading half-life 2. everything.

and no one on the internet has ever come across the problem before, apparantly. theres nothing there that helps, tried the SDK wikapedia thing, the support thing in steam. nothing on any of the forums. Possibly its loading somwhere else but i cant find it.

if anyone can help i will be duley thankful because SDK is the only thing that i have a passion for that doesn't crash within 5 mins of opening it.

once again thanks... soz for all the reading :D
 
right, found out how to make it work.

basically, you have to enter '-engine ep1' into the launch options and it works, its something to do with the new hl2 episode 1 game i think.

anyway, its fixed now... instead im getting that problem with the crash when you go on world model... but, anyway, if anyone else gets this problem now they know how to fix it.
 
If yuo're in EP1 mode you cant map for the orange box though.

The fix for the model crash thing is to disable "VGUI model browser" in the hammer options.
