FF Materials won't show up in hammer

I don't know if there's something wrong with my fortressforever.fgd file or something, but when I load Hammer up after setting up the Fortress Forever game configuration my screen is fucked.

Nothing shows up in the four view windows, not even grid lines. And when I load a vmf map file that I have previously worked on, nothing shows up.

I have tried creating new maps by loading the Counter-Strike: Source game config and then switching over to Fortress Forever configuration once Hammer is loaded... but then none of the FF entities or FF materials show up.

I have tried it on two different computers and I have set up the Fortress Forever Hammer configs a dozen times to no avail.

Anyone else ever have this issue?

Did you follow the guide on these forums? Sounds like you didn't so I suggest you check the sticky. To get ff working in hammer you need some magic paths with sdk shit since it's a mod.

Like twelve different times on both my Laptop and PC...

I'll reinstall everything and post screenshots.

So I poked around on the steam forums and found out that I'm not the only person having this issue..

http://forums.steampowered.com/forum....php?t=2983706

Apparently there was an update recently that fucked everything up in hammer for all games except hl2 and CS:S.

Really sucks, but I suppose I can just make the map using CS:S config and then when they fix this shit I can throw in FF entities and materials.

I recently installed sdk on my laptop with no problems at all.

I usually install hl2:dm first and load that game and join a random server (after sdk and source sdk base 2006 are installed)

then i adjust the settings for hl2:dm so fortress forever is added

make sure engine is 2006

You're the fucking man!!!

I bought HL2M and installed.
I opened the game and started a game up (to make sure everything loaded). Loaded up hammer in Engine Version 2006, current game HL2M.
Then I set up all the paths in hammer for the Fortress Forever configuration, exited out of Hammer.
Made sure when I launched Hammer from the SDK that I set the Engine Version to 2006 and it worked!

I didn't have HL2M or HL2 installed before and I was unable to load the Engine Version to anything except Source Engine MP.
