yes thats that.. then it tells me i have to go into the "gameinfo" in the dark messiah folder, then i go there its not just a empty "gameinfo" map what do i do wrong?

Simply set "c:\program files\steam\steamapps\hely1000" where you have "$SteamUserDir"

While you do this, open explorer to verify that the folders you are referring to actually exist

in my GameConfig.txt I have set "DefaultPointEntity" "light" 'cause you will add more lights than player spawn points but this is not really needed...

If you have no gameinfo.txt in your "c:\program files\steam\steamapps\hely1000\dark messiah might and magic multi-player" folder then create one and copy into it what's in page 5 of SDK.pdf.

Fender you are my hero it writes something in gametext but then i try to run hammer with it ... it writes that it cant find the gametext in c:\program files\steam\steamapps\hely1000
if it should be to any help here is what it writes in gametext:

"GameInfo"
{
game "Might & Magic Multiplayer"
title "Might and Magic Multiplayer"
type multiplayer_only
nomodels 1
nohimodel 1
nocrosshair 1
nodegraph 0
hidden_maps
{
"test_speakers" 1
"test_hardware" 1
}


FileSystem
{
SteamAppId 320 // This will mount all the GCFs we need (240=CS:S, 220=HL2).
ToolsAppId 211 // Tools will load this (ie: source SDK caches) to get things like materials\debug, materials\editor, etc.

//
// The code that loads this file automatically does a few things here:
//
// 1. For each "Game" search path, it adds a "GameBin" path, in <dir>\bin
// 2. For each "Game" search path, it adds another "Game" path in front of it with _<langage> at the end.
// For example: c:\hl2\cstrike on a french machine would get a c:\hl2\cstrike_french path added to it.
// 3. For the first "Game" search path, it adds a search path called "MOD".
// 4. For the first "Game" search path, it adds a search path called "DEFAULT_WRITE_PATH".
//
//
//
// Search paths are relative to the base directory, which is where hl2.exe is found.
//
// |gameinfo_path| points at the directory where gameinfo.txt is.
// We always want to mount that directory relative to gameinfo.txt, so
// people can mount stuff in c:\mymod, and the main game resources are in
// someplace like c:\program files\valve\steam\steamapps\half-life 2.
//
SearchPaths
{
Game |gameinfo_path|.
Game hl2
}
}
}

hope you can help me again thx for the last time(s)

You surely have no gameinfo.txt or gameconfig.txt in "c:\program files\steam\steamapps\hely1000" 'cause that's the folder where all your steam games will reside...

I said: simply set "c:\program files\steam\steamapps\hely1000" where you have "$SteamUserDir", but I didn't say not to write what's after "$SteamUserDir"
i.e. "\dark messiah might and magic multi-player"...

Actually you can fool Hammer starting from HL2 or CS:
select tools>options in Hammer,
in Game Configuration select Edit>Add>Enter Dark Messiah or similar> OK>Close
Select the name you added, the boxes below will empty.
In Game Data Files first add: c:\program files\steam\steamapps\hely1000\dark messiah might and magic multi-player\cfg\base.fgd, then add c:\program files\steam\steamapps\hely1000\dark messiah might and magic multi-player\cfg\MightAndMagic.fgd.

In Game Executable Directory add: c:\program files\steam\steamapps\hely1000\dark messiah might and magic multi-player\

In Game Directory add: c:\program files\steam\steamapps\hely1000\dark messiah might and magic multi-player\

In Hammer VMF Directory add: c:\program files\steam\steamapps\hely1000\dark messiah might and magic multi-player\mapsrc

Then go to Build Programs (above)
In configuration select the name you added.

In Game executable add: c:\program files\steam\steamapps\hely1000\dark messiah might and magic multi-player\mm.exe

In BSP executable add: c:\program files\steam\steamapps\hely1000\dark messiah might and magic multi-player\bin\vbsp.exe

In Vis executable add: c:\program files\steam\steamapps\hely1000\dark messiah might and magic multi-player\bin\vvis.exe

In RAD executable add: c:\program files\steam\steamapps\hely1000\dark messiah might and magic multi-player\bin\vrad.exe

In Place compiled maps in this... add: c:\program files\steam\steamapps\hely1000\dark messiah might and magic multi-player\maps

Apply>OK

You should be done

Hey again mate after the other woulndt work and i did what yo utold just described it wrong as my english is pretty bad.. but i tryed the "cheat" thing but then i pasted it all in and pressed apply after ok it wrote i had to restart hammer i did and then all the dark messiah setting were gone.. i mean in the option there could i add the dark messiah mp one now its gone in the list well its sure me there did anything but i decided i wont try this anyone as it gives me too many probs but still thx for your help

well i might have found the mistake in the gamedata files it write steamdir but i cant change it..

Hammer is a real bad beast...

Once edited GameConfig.txt it's safer having a copy of it, so you can replace the default empty one, 'cause Hammer sometimes decide this way...

Sadly, as I already said, this is just the beginning, you'll know what I mean when you'll start to compile your map...

But carry on, my nephew (12 years old) plays with Hammer the same way as Lego and he's really enjoying the thing...

hehe well it seems like im to stupid to this i just think i will play not really interested in stuff i cant even do the easiest thing with
