Hello, I was trying to get hammer working, but I faced the following problem: Error writing D:\vbsp.exe (Error: Unexpected end of GCF stream (0 B of 1012736 B). Has the GCF file been completely acquired?) I use GCFScape version 1.8.4 and steam is not running. On another computer it did also not work. In GCFScape the file names are gray at al empires_*.gcf files. The files from team fortress did work. Can someone help me with this problem?
from C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\flasche235\sourcesdk\bin\source2007\bin\GameConfig.txt Code: "Configs" { "Games" { "Empires" { "GameDir" "c:\program files (x86)\steam\SteamApps\common\Empires\empires" "hammer" { "GameData0" "c:\program files (x86)\steam\SteamApps\common\Empires\empires\empires.fgd" "TextureFormat" "5" "MapFormat" "4" "DefaultTextureScale" "0.250000" "DefaultLightmapScale" "64" "GameExe" "c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\flasche235\Source SDK Base 2007\hl2.exe" "DefaultSolidEntity" "func_detail" "DefaultPointEntity" "info_player_start" "BSP" "c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\flasche235\sourcesdk\bin\source2007\bin\vbsp_empires.exe" "Vis" "c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\flasche235\sourcesdk\bin\source2007\bin\vvis.exe" "Light" "c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\flasche235\sourcesdk\bin\source2007\bin\vrad.exe" "GameExeDir" "c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\flasche235\Source SDK Base 2007" "MapDir" "c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\flasche235\empires\sourcesdk_content\empires\mapsrc" "BSPDir" "c:\program files (x86)\steam\SteamApps\common\Empires\empires\maps" "CordonTexture" "common/tools/toolsnodraw" "MaterialExcludeCount" "0" } } } "SDKVersion" "3" } im too lazy to fix the paths but i hope this helps you ... edit: oh shit i think i still used the haxxed compiler for POM, the correct path for default vbsp should be the same as for vvis and vrad ... edit2: alternatively see if the wiki helps you http://wiki.empiresmod.com/index.php?title=Configuring_Hammer_for_Empires it takes some tinkering but its no witchcraft
that part does work, I have problems with the modified VBSP.exe extracting from the .gcf file as descriped in the wiki
greyed out just means its a reference file, thus you cant extract. also you dont need the modifed vbsp anymore, since pom is disabled use the one in c:\program files\steam\steamapps\YOUR_STEAM_ACCOUNT_USERNAME\sourcesdk\bin\source2007\bin\vbsp.exe to clarify, you dont need to extract anything
