[swagphx]

Hey guys, today i'm having trouble with using the maps i want because they wont show. I've unsubbed and resubbed but still nothing, i downloaded a mario map such as peaches castle but it doesn't show up! Got any help?

I'm guessing with you being so new to SFM, you haven't added the workshop to SFM's search paths. (SFM has a content control system that's really very useful if you know what you're doing with it, but the workshop isn't enabled in it by default).

Close SFM, go to the Steam window, right click SFM in the Applications library and select "Launch SDK". From this panel, select "Edit Search Paths for Selected Mod", then tick the box for "Workshop", close the SDK and restart SFM.

SFM should now be able to find workshop content.

One important question is... Does Source FilmMaker show a pop-up, asking you if it's okay to download/update/delete workshop submissions, when you subscribe to/un-subscribe from them?

Because without you saying "yes, go ahead, download it", Source FilmMaker won't download it.


Right-click Source FilmMaker in your Steam library, choose "Properties" > "General" > "Set Launch Options...", and make sure "-nosteam" is not there. Then reboot Source FilmMaker.

If that doesn't let the pop-ups start popping up, right-click Source FilmMaker again, choose "Properties" > "Betas", and make sure the drop-down beta selection list is set to "NONE - Opt out of all beta programs", then reboot Source FilmMaker again (after letting Steam download any potential files after changing the beta selection to none).

If that also doesn't fix it, right-click Source FilmMaker again, choose "Properties" > "Local Files" > "Verify Integrity of Application Cache...", wait for it to finish (which is when it says how many files will be re-acquired, not when it says 100%), and then reboot Source FilmMaker.

If even that doesn't fix it, right-click Source FilmMaker again, choose "Launch SDK", click "Edit Search Paths For Selected Mod", make sure "workshop" is enabled, and then try again.

If not even that can fix it, blame any anti-virus software you may have installed.

So I have something similar, The maps I downloaded are nowhere to be found. I can't find it in the maps folder etc. there does come up a prompt asking if i want to download it, but even if i say yes, the maps are nowhere to be found. Any idea?

I have the same problem, but the pop up shows when downloading any other type of content -- just not maps.

EDITED: I tried it on two computers, the second with an antivirus program.

Are you sure you're downloading a map? A lot of things people list as 'maps' are actually a model, created from a section of a map. Life is Strange Girls Dorm comes to mind, since you can find it as a map and as a giant model; either way. BSP is a map file. MDL is a model. Check to see which it has listed for your download.

How do I edit search paths now?

Right-click Source Filmmaker in your Steam library, choose "Launch" to open a pop-up menu, select "Launch SDK" and launch it, and click "Edit Search Paths For Selected Mod".

If you don't get a pop-up asking whether you want to launch Source Filmmaker or its SDK, then right-click Source Filmmaker in your Steam library again, choose "Properties..." > "General", and make sure that the drop-down list next to "Launch Options" says "Ask when starting game".
