Hammer++ views not loading properly

[serene rampart]

I reinstalled and am resetting Hammer++. I think I ran into this issue before but I'm not sure how to fix it.

[rapid stag]

Are you trying to set up h++ for gmod?

[serene rampart]

yessir

[rapid stag]

One second

I have it working 100% every time I reinstall

Even mounting games works

Did you use SDK 2013 MP or SP?

[serene rampart]

MP still watching and stuff

@rapid stag

Can I put a mount.cfg into FakeGmod?

or would that not work

[serene rampart]

What is wrong with my game_info? It worked before. All I did was change the location of SDK2013 Multi

[rapid stag]

It needs to be in Garry's mod/cfg

or Garry's Mod/garrysmod/CFG

[rapid stag]

Did you use use my custom gameinfo?

Try using this one

did it send?

[serene rampart]

Yes I did use it and it works great which gets me confused why mine quit working.

It was working until I moved where SDK was located. I haven't touched it since

[serene rampart]

I'm fine with using it, I'm just worried I'll run into issues later with how I had things before.

I spent an embarrassing amount of time getting my gameinfo to work just right when I had know idea how to use it

Oh, also... did I mention I'm trying to use a seperate set of HL2 assets from the vpk so that I can use custom textures?

but it failed so I'll probably just use yours

In the gameconfig, do I need to put something like

mod "filepath"

to include custom props or texture files?

[rapid stag]

Just put game "exact filepath"

It can be a folder or vpk

I had it as game "D:/games/extracted/HL2custom/

inside hl2 custom was materials, models, sound, etc.

I did some more investigating with my config and everything but the 4 viewports work. The view ports are the only thing not working for some reason. What is causing this? I tried searching it but people just keep saying launch from the bin... which I've been doing.

[rapid stag]

Did you delete the hammer++ folder? and reinstall?

Also verify gmod cache file as well as SDK2013 mutiplayer

[serene rampart]

I'll give it a shot. Also, please don't be upset I'm still worrying about it. I'm just confused what went wrong

thanks so much for this help

[rapid stag]

How are you launching?

[serene rampart]

I go to the bin in SDK2013M where I put hammer++ and its folder

and launch with hammer++

which is exactly what I did before I moved to the new parition

[rapid stag]

New partion?

[serene rampart]

partition*

I made a new parition for SDK stuffs so it doesn't get all entangled so badly with my actual game folders

[rapid stag]

Is gmod and other source games on the new partition?

[serene rampart]

Yes

[rapid stag]

You need to have everything on the same drive besides sourceapps which is always on C

Does it do it with hammer?

[serene rampart]

hammer seems to load normally

until I try out my config with it

[rapid stag]

your config?

[serene rampart]

my gameinfo

[rapid stag]

Don't change the gameinfo unless you know h++ is working

You need to have the right platform loaded in

Does my gameinfo work? You said it works until you load yours?

[serene rampart]

It worked but isnt that just because it used base hl2 files?

[rapid stag]

No?

[serene rampart]

it didn't read any of your game directories since those volumes aren't on my PC

[rapid stag]

Hl2 models and materials have nothing to so with loading hammer

Then change them?

Don't change anything else but the last few lines

Those are the ones I added for other games

[serene rampart]

I got it all working with your config.

I shouldn't need to change the steamappid?

[rapid stag]

Nope! Don't need to!

Were you able to add custom folders/games too?

[serene rampart]

Yah

I have 1 more question related to this topic

I had already created and uploaded 1 map previous to my reinstallation of SDK2013 and it was perfectly fine with no errors or complaints during compiling.

Now, I have a few things the compiling windows complains about. It some props that I had as prop_static that now say "Error loading studip model STATIC"

How can I have it not complain about that when it worked before hand?

I mean, when I was creating the map, I did have errors making very specific props static but now I got all these props that worked fine on static not loading into the map

[rapid stag]

More than likely the exact path changed. Best to readd those models. If you also can can you send your compile log? I'd be helpful to see the full error and what kind of model it is

[serene rampart]

I missed the volumes in the mount.cfg. All better
