Guide to Portal Hammer Configuration Part 01

PreviousPage 5 of 5

I can't seem to figure out my error

FATAL ERROR
"MountFileSystem( 427 ) failed: SteamMountFileSystem(2604,427,0x1324fc74=,0x1324fd74) failed with error 5: No Steam Content Servers are available"

The only thing i could find out was that it is related to needing CS:S?? I don't know how i can get around this error.

Try restarting Steam, I have heard that fixes that error (though I have never run into it myself).

Restarting steam had no effect, still does the error, with a slightly different memory position (duh), so now i'm reinstalling the SDK to see if that will fix it. But so far nothing seems to be working.

If it has a different memory location, try restarting your computer.

By memory location, i meant the

SteamMountFileSystem(2604,427,0x1324fc74=,0x1324fd74)

(the numbers are different each time, i'm assuming it is referring to a location in memory, and it would be natural to assume that each time you try to run it, it is in a different place, not really sure, but every time the error comes up, the only same number is 427)

This is what the GameConfig file looks like, just in case

Code: Select all
"Configs"
{
   "Games"
   {
      "Portal"
      {
         "GameDir"      "D:Program FilesSteamSteamAppscha0ticdreamerportalportal"
         "hammer"
         {
            "GameData0"      "D:Program FilesSteamSteamAppscha0ticdreamerSourceSDKbinportal.fgd"
            "TextureFormat"      "5"
            "MapFormat"      "4"
            "DefaultTextureScale"      "0.250000"
            "DefaultLightmapScale"      "16"
            "GameExe"      "D:Program FilesSteamSteamAppscha0ticdreamerportalhl2.exe"
            "DefaultSolidEntity"      "color_correction_volume"
            "DefaultPointEntity"      "ai_ally_manager"
            "BSP"      "D:Program FilesSteamSteamAppscha0ticdreamerSourceSDKbinvbsp.exe"
            "Vis"      "D:Program FilesSteamSteamAppscha0ticdreamerSourceSDKbinvvis.exe"
            "Light"      "D:Program FilesSteamSteamAppscha0ticdreamerSourceSDKbinvrad.exe"
            "GameExeDir"      "D:Program FilesSteamSteamAppscha0ticdreamerportal"
            "MapDir"      "D:Program FilesSteamsteamappscha0ticDreamerportalPortalmaps"
            "BSPDir"      "D:Program FilesSteamSteamAppscha0ticdreamerportalportalmaps"
            "CordonTexture"      "BLACK"
            "MaterialExcludeCount"      "0"
         }
      }
   }
   "SDKVersion"      "2"
}

I reinstalled, restarted, tried again, and still no luck. The only thing that i can think of, if it is related to CS:S or HL2, maybe I'm missing a configuration somewhere.

I have set up Hammer and the files for portal as described in this howto:
http://kenjara.wordpress.com/2007/10/13 ... in-portal/

Hammer displays no textures from portal. Filtering and keywords don't bring up anything, however I see every texture from HL2.
How do I set up the textures correctly?

edit: thanks, my problem was the material folder export, it was moved as materials under materials. It works now!

Try using this tutorial from our wiki to see if it helps.

***Edit the first run to set up the configs worked, but after trying again, i get the same error. Guess it was just a false hope.
