Half Life 2 Maps?

[abirdwitharms]

I have Half Life 2 Installed, and I went with IKonaKona's tutorial over mounting the maps to SFM.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUU1Cv8ibjI
When trying to mount the game through GCF Scape I used the hl2_pak_dir file, but when I look into sfm to try and find the .BSP files, they aren't anywhere.
Yes, I have added it through Gameinfo.txt and even through SDK, and refreshed the Folder.
Is there anything I might have done wrong, I have a feeling it has something to do with the .vpk file I used.
I really hope someone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

im just going to spitball a few questions at you if you dont mind.
1: are you sure you extracted hl2 folder from the vpk to the "sourcefilmmaker/game" folder?
2: are the map files showing in the hl2 maps folder?
3: have you tried to move the maps over to the usermod folder and see if they work?
4: is the hl2 folder showing up in the mods filter when you load a map?

Grab "Filip Victor's Update 2.0" from here[docs.google.com] (462mb) to get HDR versions of the maps. Grab the Water Material Fix[dl.dropboxusercontent.com] for... yeah.

Everything else is included with SFM!

While I'm downloading this, does it only have textures or the maps included, i'm not very good with this kindof stuff, sorry.

EDIT: I found this video comparing this mod
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaSBjqlKv04
but I don't really see how this helps, is it just updated maps that I can mount to sfm?

sfm comes with the hl2 materials already installed. you would just place these bsp files into usermod/maps folder and they should load up no prob.

Not sure how it happened, but it did
When adding Bees' downloable maps and materials, It didn't show up
BUT, when I moved the Maps out of the folder and placed it in the base,I decided to just open a .bsp with sfm, It worked, but with terrible models, so I tried to add a different map and had seen 0/211 so I clicked all mods and found all the maps in hl2 instead of my custom folder
Seriously, thank you guys for putting up with my stupidity

Full final Edit: I placed Bees' Map Files in my custom folder, but they can only be used in the Default hl2 folder, if they are removed then you cant open the maps, I am unsure if you can just put the maps in the hl2 folder itself, but that is the way I did it, so if anyone else needs help with this just review over all thats been said

I seem to have another problem
When opening d1_trainstation_02.bsp it had the weirdest lighting iv'e ever seen
It looks like different colors everywhere when moving the camera, it also changes position every camera movement, kinda like this http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/542932039717789345/6F1CB0439F5D4173FE22316C26FEE1FDD8B85438/
And when I go into the console it shows this message
CSceneEntity lcs_tv_breencast unable to find actor named "breen"
it just repeats it as if its a complete loop
After putting in mat_specular 0 it gets rid of it completely except for the Models, this same person was having the problem

I think I may have fixed it for now by using the solutions from the last thread
mat_specular 0
buildcubemaps
make sure to save before putting these commands in, but once you do, restart SFM and the lighting should look fine

YO the water fix worked! Thank you!

Hm, d1_trainstation_01 crashes to desktop on use. No HDR error message or anything.
Edit: I mean the map from the update pack.

nice necro. afairemember that problem was that maps that start with choreographed scenes that control the player camera don't work. you gotta decompile the maps and remove those entities.
