    Hello people. I am a new user on the forums, so I just wanted to introduce myself.

    I do a lot of mapping for games like insurgency, and garrysmod. But this is the kind of game that requires the type of maps I like to do the most. Now that my insurgency project is finished

    http://forums.insmod.net/index.php?showtopic=11403,

    I will start a new project for empires (once I get hammer working.)


    I applied for the position of mapper a while back, but was denied because I could not download some content (I did not have the hardrive space)

    So, anyways. Now that the new version is out, I decided I may as well start mapping for it.

    I am currently having some trouble with hammer (it is not starting from source SDK) so i may not get started for a while.

    I would love to get started on the map that I have in mind.

    Does anybody else have this problem with hammer, if I go into task manager/processes I can see it, but I cannot use it, it just sits there taking up CPU power.

    are you using steam friends overlay? If so, try turning that off.

    You should run with the ep1 sdk. Add "-engine ep1" to your Source SDK launch options.

    That did fix my last problem, but now hammer is just not starting, plain and simple. No matter what engine I use.

    have you either verified the cache thingy or tried refreshing the sdk content?

    they're fairly much the 'turn it off and on again' solutions but you never know

    good luck! be imaginative- empires battles can be set in any location on earth, from industrial to bombed out cities, to wide taundras or desert and lush jungles. it's all up to you.
