[BUG] Portal 2 Authoring Tools Beta -Hammer-

Leox001 · 05-04-2012, 03:02 PM

Okay so today I wanted to launch Portal 2's hammer to make a test chamber. After selecting HAMMER on the Authoring Tools from the TOOLS tab on steam, I get the following error
screen

Code:

Setup file 'GameInfo.txt' doesn't exist in subdirectory
'f:\Steam\steamapps\common\portal 2\portal2'.
Check your -game parameter or VCONFIG setting.

I don't even have an F: partition, Steam is on my E: partition because it's on the big HDD.
I've read somewhere on the internet that it could be fixed by clicking "resetting game configurations", an option in Source SDK.
However, this option is not present in "Portal 2 Authoring Tools Beta", thus I can't do that.
I used to be able to use Hammer and create maps in Portal 2 last year, I'm not sure what went wrong in between.
Please help?

Try to go at:

SteamApps\common\portal 2\bin\

and edit the file (make a backup before): GameConfig.txt

"GameDir"
and
"Hammer"
have a correct path?
put the valid path.

Whenever I try to use Hammer World Editor, it always says "Failed to initialize texturing system", and then I can't do anything. Is there any common reason for this that I can fix?
