Technical Support
I can't guarantee that I'll always be able to respond and/or walk you guys through every little thing, but if you need help, please post it here rather than filling up the comments section.



To install the SFM Beta Content:

1) Download the beta content from MaxofS2D's repository:
http://source.maxofs2d.net/sfm/sfmbeta_content.7z

2) Open the .7z archive with 7-Zip or a compatible archive extractor (you can get 7-Zip here: http://www.7-zip.org/). Inside the archive, there will be two folders. One called "Models" and one called "Materials".

3) Navigate to your Source Filmmaker's "Usermod" folder. This can normally be found at:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\SourceFilmmaker\game\usermod"

4) Drag the "Materials" and "Models" folders from the .7z archive and into the "Usermod" folder. You may be prompted by Windows to "merge" folders, as a "Materials" and "Models" folder already exists within the "Usermod" folder. Accept/Okay all of these prompts if they appear.

5) Relauch Source Filmmaker if you for some reason do not see the content. Open the model browser and search for the Spy's knife (I don't know the exact model name off the top of my head, but putting in "knife" should suffice). If you can find a version that has blood on it, you've installed the beta content correctly.

Note: When using my preset files, make sure "Show Scene Hierarchy" is checked to be able to see my pre-organized categorized models on the left of the application.

I put the beta content (unzipped) into the usermod folder. It isn't working. Why?

I've quickly written a detailed guide above on how to install the content. Go through it step-by-step and let me know if you did anything wrong by mistake.

Oh I have to drag the two folders out?

It never asks me to merge.

Every time I open Oberhart, it crashes.

That's alright. Sometimes it doesn't pop-up about merging. It shouldn't be anything to worry about.

As for the crashing; Source Filmmaker can be very resource demanding, and if you're opening my preset, the lighting settings can be even more taxing if you have too many on at once with a lower-end computer. This can sometimes cause crashes. Not sure what else to say about that.

Okay, One: Why is Steam saying you are always offline? Two: It crashed twice.

I check Steam when I'm not playing games via steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com in Chrome, so it doesn't list me as online unless I open up the Web-Chat or Steam Client.

THIS IS REDICULOUS! IT'S ALWAYS CRASHING ON THE OBERHART!

Again, keep calm... I wont assist people who lose their temper;

What are your specs? Are you trying to run Source Filmmaker on a laptop or low-end computer? The presets contain a lot of premade lighting and a lot of prop placements. If you happen to be running a computer than struggles to run Source Filmmaker it's possible that loading the presets is pushing it too far.

Is it crashing when only loading up the map on it's own without a preset?

It crashes on the preset. I'm using a laptop. Also, I can't find the Bloody knife, but I can see it on the table.

A friend of mine with a lower end desktop computer was able to test my preset back when I originally released the map, and he reported that the lights caused him to get very low frames when using the map.

It may potentially be that your laptop may not be powerful enough to run the map with the lighting presets given the amount of lighting that is in place.

Do you have any more details about your laptop? Are you using an integrated or dedicated graphics card?

I do not know.

If you can see it on the table (and can see the table for that matter) then you've installed the models correctly.

The knife itself is not a model however.
