Hey every one how is it going. Iwas wondering if someone knew the solution to a problem im having with the hammer for episode one. It basicaly wont load my map. it compiles and then goes into the game but no map. The first few practice maps work fine, but know even though this current one is the same it wont load. i dont know much about coding but i pretty sure this is the problem.

No such variable "$hdrbasetexture" for material "skybox/sky_day01_01rt"
Can't load skybox file skybox/sky_day01_01 to build the default cubemap!

I would greatly aprieciate any feed back on this as it is comming up even in seperate maps.
The maps are only simple one rooms, player start and barrels plus a light.

Thanks

Ok so i just got a vlave made map to run and then another scratch made room. which is good that its actually running now but the error is still coming up in the compiler and i not sure what has changed but the game on loading the map says that there is something out of date and that its rebuilding. Is this how its supposed to be. Im sorry for the newb question but i brought this so that i coukd make mods and its no good to me if its not functiong properly.
The problem checker also says there a re no problems?

Thanks for the feed back Barnz. Im such a newb lol. Now that i know its a bug i can get on with the good stuff. I was wondering by the way if you knew of a pdf that covers most of the features in the source engine. Ive been on the interlopers site and watched all those vids and put ti to practice but i was wondering about more of the advanced features. Like setting up radios to play when activated and tvs that will play clips and audio when triggerd.

Thanks Again.

I think TWHL is a good place to look for tutorials:
