Half-Life Deathmatch: Source

Do you have the FGD file?

Here is the rest of the info:

*This is for setting up Hammer world editor (2013_MP) for Hldms.

Valve did not ship the FGD file with the new SDK, add FGD to
C:Program FilesSteamsteamappscommonhalf-life 1 source deathmatchbin (put in bin folder).

Hldms also needs the gameinfo.txt file, located at C:Program FilesSteamsteamappsCOMMONhalf-life 1 source deathamtchhl1mp make a copy
and paste at C:Program FilesSteamsteamappsCOMMONhalf-life 1 source deathamtchhl2 (paste in hl2 folder)

The new SDK does not have a launcher so make desktop shortcuts for Hammer.exe,studiomdl.exe,hlfaceposer.exe,hlmv.exe these
can be found at C:Program FilesSteamsteamappscommonhalf-life 1 source deathmatchbin

If you have mapped before may be a good idea to get your mapsrc files moved over from the old Hammer, find them at «C:Program FilesSteamsteamappsYOUR_ACCT_NUMBERsourcesdk_contenthl2mpmapsrc» and move to
C:Program FilesSteamsteamappscommonhalf-life 1 source deathmatchhl1mp delete your old shortcut to mapsrc and make a
new one for the folder you just moved.

Now open up hammer with the hammer.exe icon.

Select the «restore down icon» (To make hammer smaller so you can read this and see hammer).

Select (upper left on hammer) tools then options.

Click on «Edit» select «add» and enter Half-life Deathmatch click ok then close.

From the drop down (arrow down) (under configuration) select Half-life Deathmatch.

Now under Game date files we need to load our FGD file so click on add and the «bin» folder should load up
select hl1mp.fgd click on it then select open (it will load the info).

Texture format and Map type leave as they are.

Under default pointentity class select info_player_deathmatch.

Under default Solidentity class select Func_detail.

Default texture scale and Default lightmap scale leave alone

Cordon texture browse for tools/toolsskybox and set that as the texture.

Game executable Directory browse to C:Program FilesSteamsteamappscommonhalf-life 1 source deathmatch (click on the + sign to
keep expanding,) when you get to «half-life 1 source deathmatch» click on the text for «half-life 1 source deathmatch» then click ok.

we only need to tell hammer «where» the hl2.exe is,you wont see it in the folder with the «browse for folder window».

Game directory click down (using the + sign to C:Program FilesSteamsteamappscommonhalf-life 1 source deathmatchhl1mp
Once again when you see «hl1mp» dont expand click on the text «hl1mp».

For the Hammer .VMF Directory (your mapsrc folder) click down to C:Program FilesSteamsteamappscommonhalf-life 1 source deathmatchhl1mp
expand hl1mp this time you will see the folder named mapsrc click on the text «mapsrc» then ok.* note if this is a fresh install or you did not move your old mapsrc folder you need to make one here.

Now click on «build programs» tab (upper right on configure Hammer)
On top line selct «half-life deathmatch» with the down arrow.

Under the next one «Game executable» click on the folders(you may need to go up to arrow to get to C: program files as it starts in «bin» double click on the folder’s to move along) to get to C:Program FilesSteamsteamappscommonhalf-life 1 source deathmatchhl2.exe (click on hl2.exe)then open tab.

BSP executable at C:Program FilesSteamsteamappscommonhalf-life 1 source deathmatchbin (VBSP.EXE)
click on it then open tab. same for vvis executable and vrad executable.

Last one «place compiled maps in this directory» at C:Program FilesSteamsteamappscommonhalf-life 1 source deathmatchhl1mpcustomANY_NAME_YOU_WANTmaps click on the text for maps. (there is a map folder at hl1mp keep that for valve core maps, custom new ones at the new folder location, if you dont have a customANY_NAME_YOU_WANTmaps folder you need to create them first. somthing like this customreddogmaps * note reddog name does not matter you can use any name, hammer searches with a «*» for wild card so any name will work

You are done., click apply then ok and restart Hammer. another note when you first compile a map,
make sure before you compile that the box is checked «dont run the game after compiling» it will
crash if you dont have it checked.

we want to all custom stuff in the «custom» folder to keep valve’s hands off of it, custom/reddog/maps
materials
models
sounds
cfg
(everybody above gets a folder)

Think of the «custom» folder as the new hl1mp folder, the reason is, if we leave our stuff in hl1mp, and they do a update, it will affect
our stuff to as well, the less they can get ahold of the better.

Missing GameInfo.txt

This occurs when the Current Game is incorrectly configured.

This can happen when:

• The Game Directory is set incorrectly so the tools cannot find the gameinfo.txt file.
• A gameinfo.txt file for the game is missing or incorrect.
• Installing/Restoring HL2 games from a backup that was created via the «Backup Games. » menu, but not having actually played the games after the install (HL2, EP1, etc).

How to fix this problem:

• First and foremost run the game (HL2, EP1, etc) at least once before running the SDK tools like Hammer. Running the games for the first time will create the gameinfo.txt and related files that are used by the SDK tools.
• If this is a custom MOD, make sure the Game Directory is set correctly, and that a valid gameinfo.txt is present.
• Try running the game you’re editing for once from the Play Games window.
• Try to Reset the Source SDK Game Configuration.
• If that does not work, Reinstall the Source SDK installation.

• If none of the previously stated work, check and see if you have recently changed your drive’s letter to something different.
• To fix the config go to X:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonCounter-Strike Global Offensivebin, then open «GameConfig»
• Open «GameConfig» and change all of the letters of the old drives to the current letter.

Garry’s Mod

So im getting this error when i start my game but when i check my folder the file is there.

Solution that worked for me: whitelist the game on your antivirus.

yes i tried that at first but that didnt fix the issue. i managed to fix it and it was my antivirus preventing my game from opening the file. The file was present in the folder. Whitelisted the game and it started.

lmao what anti virus is that

bruh what even is that

bruh what even is that

lol so far a very effective anti-virus/malware. Sometimes alittle too effective.

i got this same issue and it literally just started now how do i fix this i use AVG anti virus

I was about to respond to this thread because I had the same problem, but by fiddling about I just solved it!

If you’re still getting «Can’t find E:Program FilesSteamsteamappscommonGarrysModgarrysmodgameinfo.txt» then you must ask yourself, if it’s actually in «Program Files» or «Program Files (x86)» (or some other x## or drive etc). That’s what stumped me for so long!

If Garry’s Mod is in your «Program Files (x86)Steamsteamappscommon» folder and your Hammer is looking for gameinfo.txt in «Program FilesSteamsteamappscommon» then what you should do is open GameConfig.txt in the same bin folder as Hammer and correct all those addresses with the proper Program Files address.

Silly me for not figuring it out sooner. Iw as simply not reading the error message properly.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

this guide should help you with this error : gameinfo.txt dosen’t exist

go into your «Counter-Strike Global Offensivebin» folder and open up gameconfig.txt (not gameinfo.txt in the «Counter-Strike Global Offensivecsgo» folder like the error suggests)

(ignore the underline, DO NOT add the underline into the text file)

In the text file It said this:

«GameDir» «D:GamesSteamsteamappscommonCounter-Strike Global Offensivecsgo»
«Hammer»

changed it to this:

«GameDir» «D:GamesSteamsteamappscommonCounter-Strike Global Offensivecsgo»
«Hammer» «D:SteamSteamAppscommonCounter-Strike Global Offensivebinhammer.exe»

and it should load up without any errors. comment down below if you are having any problems with this.

i do csgo gamplay and unboxings, check them out here !

Hammer error gameinfo txt is missing

Ok, so I was playing around with sfm and added some mods to it. Later I removed those mods and deleted them and then whenever I try starting up sfm, it just keeps telling me «gameinfo.txt is missing».

I have tried verifying the game cache and re-installing but none of that works.

Can someone please help me, it would be very appreciated.
Thanks!

your gameinfo.txt file for SFM is located in your usermod folder. If you added mods tere may have been gameinfo.txt files that you added with them (bad mistake).

Look and see if there is a gameinfo.txt file in your usermod folder.
1) If there is, open it and see if it reads the following. (this is the vanillia setting for the file)
2) If it doesn’t say the following, replace it with the following,
3) If it doesn’t exist, copy and paste the following into a text document and save it to usermod,
4) If it does exist and does say the following, you’ll have to validate your local cache files to fix it.
