Hammer Configurations

[Zippy]

I am following this small tutorials right here.
http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Hammer_Manual_Configuration

But no matter what I can not find a "halflife2.fgd" file in my Valve Folder.

Recommend "Refresh SDK Content" and "Reset Game Configurations" before you try to make a configuration yourself.

Ooo, and click the FGD link in my sig. Mine > Valve's.

Sorry for being stupid. I downloaded your files, but....

Recommend "Refresh SDK Content" and "Reset Game Configurations" before you try to make a configuration yourself.

What do you mean? Are these settings in Hammer?

When you open up the SourceSDK the options should be there. If HL2 is up-to-date the Hammer configurations will be setup for you.

Also, Raeven, I've been seeing you preach about your fgd for a while here. I think I might actually check it out now, especially since Insomnia has apparently kicked in!

I feel really dumb now. What is SourceSDK? Is it on your edit-life site?

 

[GonzoBabbleshit]

Right...

On Steam, in the view/full games list, click the 'tools' tab. From there you can download the SourceSDK. Once that's downloaded you should be able to follow the instructions above.

Either that, or you're using Hammer 3.4 and, like most people on here who are, haven't bothered to tell us that. If you are then someone else will have to help you out. I haven't used it for too long now.

Well, ok, now I am using Hammer from the Source SDK. The thing is, this tutorial right here:

http://halflife2.filefront.com/file/...Tutorial;32907

The part where he puts an entity "prop_static" and browses for a hostage model, I don't even have the "Characters" folder. I think this is because Hammer is set on HL2 right? If this is true, how do I set it to whatever gives me the [ROOT]models\characters\ directory? Not only to I want to follow this tutorial perfectly but also know where that model is.
