This will setup Source SDK for you.

NOTE: Where you find "[User Name]" replace with your steam name.
First, open startmenu, and select run.

Copy snd paste the following, then hit enter.
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\[User Name]\sourcesdk\bin\ep1\bin\GameConfig.txt

You should now see something similar to this:

(games may vary)

Code:

"Configs"
{
	"Games"
	{
		"Counter-Strike: Source"
		{
			"GameDir"		"c:\program files\steam\steamapps\[User Name]\counter-strike source\cstrike"
			"hammer"
			{
				"GameData0"		"c:\program files\steam\steamapps\[User Name]\sourcesdk\bin\ep1\bin\cstrike.fgd"
				"TextureFormat"		"5"
				"MapFormat"		"4"
				"DefaultTextureScale"		"0.250000"
				"DefaultLightmapScale"		"16"
				"GameExe"		"c:\program files\steam\steamapps\[User Name]\counter-strike source\hl2.exe"
				"DefaultSolidEntity"		"func_detail"
				"DefaultPointEntity"		"info_player_start"
				"BSP"		"c:\program files\steam\steamapps\[User Name]\sourcesdk\bin\ep1\bin\vbsp.exe"
				"Vis"		"c:\program files\steam\steamapps\[User Name]\sourcesdk\bin\ep1\bin\vvis.exe"
				"Light"		"c:\program files\steam\steamapps\[User Name]\sourcesdk\bin\ep1\bin\vrad.exe"
				"GameExeDir"		"c:\program files\steam\steamapps\[User Name]\counter-strike source"
				"MapDir"		"c:\program files\steam\steamapps\[User Name]\sourcesdk_content\cstrike\mapsrc"
				"BSPDir"		"c:\program files\steam\steamapps\[User Name]\counter-strike source\cstrike\maps"
				"CordonTexture"		"tools\toolsskybox"
				"MaterialExcludeCount"		"0"
			}
		}
		"Half-Life 2 Deathmatch"
		{
			"GameDir"		"c:\program files\steam\steamapps\[User Name]\Half-Life 2 Deathmatch\hl2"
			"hammer"
			{
				"GameData0"		"c:\program files\steam\steamapps\[User Name]\sourcesdk\bin\ep1\bin\hl2mp.fgd"
				"TextureFormat"		"5"
				"MapFormat"		"4"
				"DefaultTextureScale"		"0.250000"
				"DefaultLightmapScale"		"16"
				"GameExe"		"c:\program files\steam\steamapps\[User Name]\Half-Life 2 Deathmatch\hl2.exe"
				"DefaultSolidEntity"		"func_detail"
				"DefaultPointEntity"		"info_player_start"
				"BSP"		"c:\program files\steam\steamapps\[User Name]\sourcesdk\bin\ep1\bin\vbsp.exe"
				"Vis"		"c:\program files\steam\steamapps\[User Name]\sourcesdk\bin\ep1\bin\vvis.exe"
				"Light"		"c:\program files\steam\steamapps\[User Name]\sourcesdk\bin\ep1\bin\vrad.exe"
				"GameExeDir"		"c:\program files\steam\steamapps\[User Name]\Half-Life 2 Deathmatch"
				"MapDir"		"c:\program files\steam\steamapps\[User Name]\sourcesdk_content\hl2mp\mapsrc"
				"BSPDir"		"c:\program files\steam\steamapps\[User Name]\Half-Life 2 Deathmatch\hl2\maps"
				"CordonTexture"		"tools\toolsskybox"
				"MaterialExcludeCount"		"0"
			}
		}
	}
	"SDKVersion"		"2"
}

Now place a line above a game name. (EX. "Half-Life 2 Deathmatch" )
Then copy the following and paste it into that line.

Code:

"Sourceforts 1.9.3"
		{
			"GameDir"		"c:\program files\steam\steamapps\SourceMods\sourceforts"
			"hammer"
			{
				"GameData0"		"c:\program files\steam\steamapps\SourceMods\sourceforts\sourceforts.fgd"
				"TextureFormat"		"5"
				"MapFormat"		"4"
				"DefaultTextureScale"		"0.250000"
				"DefaultLightmapScale"		"16"
				"GameExe"		"c:\program files\steam\steamapps\[User Name]\Half-Life 2 Deathmatch\hl2.exe"
				"DefaultSolidEntity"		"env_bubbles"
				"DefaultPointEntity"		"info_player_team_spawn"
				"BSP"		"c:\program files\steam\steamapps\[User Name]\sourcesdk\bin\ep1\bin\vbsp.exe"
				"Vis"		"c:\program files\steam\steamapps\[User Name]\sourcesdk\bin\ep1\bin\vvis.exe"
				"Light"		"c:\program files\steam\steamapps\[User Name]\sourcesdk\bin\ep1\bin\vrad.exe"
				"GameExeDir"		"c:\program files\steam\steamapps\[User Name]\Half-Life 2 Deathmatch"
				"MapDir"		"c:\program files\steam\steamapps\[User Name]\sourcesdk_content\SourceForts"
				"BSPDir"		"C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\SourceMods\sourceforts\maps"
				"CordonTexture"		"tools\toolsskybox"
				"MaterialExcludeCount"		"0"
			}
		}

Now hit save. Then startup Source SDK, Select Sourceforts 1.9.3 from the drop down list, and then your ready to roll!

BUT WAIT!
The developers never fixed the .fgd when they changed the blocks!
So now you have hammer thinking you have 3 2d blocks and 2 3d blocks, and sourceforts knowing you have 4 2d blocks and 1 3d block.

DO NOT DO THIS IN OFFLINE MODE!!
DO NOT DO THIS WHILE GAME IS RUNNNING!!

The following is a link to a fixed .fgd.
Place in ...\steamapps\sourcemods\sourceforts\[FILE GOES HERE]
FIRST!! Make a copy of the current one and place it somewhere safe.
NOTE: SOURCEFORTS.FGD NOW INCLUDES 2D 5x4 BLOCK.
sourceforts.fgd

Note: This is not an official fix. I am not a developer. If something goes wrong, revert to old .fgd.

Thanks and Credit goto [-ZiG-] Tehelee & Shaander!

wow, that can really decrease the time somebody may take to config his Source SDK...

and for the bloc fix, if it worked for you, that should work with other people

arenaceous · #3 07-22-2008

just make sure you fix up the path names in the text as im sure not everyones account is tehelee or have steam installed in that exact path (some have valve in the path)

Az · #4 07-22-2008

y, I've noticed that. but you should tell [explicitly] that we have to remplace "tehelee" with our own Steam-account name, because I'm pretty sur that people will just copy-&-paste and then will come here to complain that it's not working.
