This may be a bit off-topic, because I'm trying to make TFC maps and not NS maps, but I've asked many people and I'm starting to get desperate. Also, after being able use use hammer, I could... uh... make NS maps or something.

Ok, whenever I try to run a map I've created, I get the following error:

QUOTE

Fatal Error

Could not find filesystem dll to load.

This error appears in a Half-Life mod kind of window, so it may have something to do with my config. I have tried to run a map with Half-Life and I get the same problem. Here is my Configuration for TFC, if it helps.

Place compiled maps in the following directory before running game:

Also, I'm currently using version 3.5 of hammer. Help?

New info, I was able to test my map by going to TFC and running the map manually. Therefore, the reason I get the error is because I configured Hammer wrong. So, all I someone to do is double check my directories and give me the correct ones.

I don't have TFC installed so I can't be sure, but I think your game directory should not be looking in half-life/, as that is a completely different game directory to TFC. There should be a /team fortress classic/valve folder perhaps?

Hammer 3.5 isn't the hammer that comes with the Steam SDK, is it? I know the latest non-steam Hammer is 3.5 but that is beta, so I was wondering if 3.5 final was Steam's or not.

I changed the config around what you said, I still get the error while trying to launch from Hammer ;(

Also, 3.5 is separate from steam. 4.1 is the one that comes with SDK.

Ah...I think the problem then is that you are launching from hammer, As TFC must be loaded from Steam. You are best off looking on google for an answer to your problem, I think - or else just run HL/TFC manually, which is what I do (if your PC can handle it, have it run windowed in the background so you can quickly switch to it and load up your map whenever it finishes compiling)

Thats cause the game executable has to look something like that: "C:\Spiele\Steam.exe -applaunch 240". Create a desktop shortcut for tfc from steam - my games and copy the path from there. I think that should do it
