Help with "Map version was not found and the map must be recompiled and reloaded in game" please?
Hello guys,i was using the Gplacer, very usefull, you place props in your game, and it exports it to Hammer editor.

But it suddenly stops working, showing it this message:

] gplacer_toggle

Either Hammer is not running with the current map, or the Proper map version was not found and the map must be recompiled and reloaded in game.



So im not doing anything different, than before, i run in administrator, i decompile my map whithout running it, i go to garrys mod, and then in the console "map_edit test" , then during the game you should be able to gplacer_toggle and use gplacer_update to export the props to hammer, but it doesnt works, it say that text i pasted before, but if i try gplacer_update, it say it works, but it kick me and close the map.


Aborting map_edit
WC/Engine map versions different...


Any help please?

Hey, this can be caused by a number of things relating to how Garrysmod connects to Hammer, in order for it to work there are a few things that have to be just right which might not work under annoyingly drastic circumstances.

Map Name
Make sure the map your loading in gmod and the map in hammer have the exact name down to any versioning, if the bsp file is de_map_vd1.bsp, then the map must be de_map_vd1.vmf

Map Version
This one is weird, but from what I understand every time you save in hammer, the map's 'version' number will increase. This version is saved into the compiled map aswell and gplacer can access that, but if you compile the map, and then save the vmf a bunch of times, their version wont match anymore, and gmod cant connect to hammer. I get around this by trying with incrementally higher versions, but if they differ for more than 20 versions it stops looking because running the search for two long can make the game crash.


TL;DR
Try recompiling your map and gplacing the newly compiled version.

If that doesn't work, feel free to add me and we'll figure out what's wrong together.

Hello, this addon seems really useful so thank you, but I have been encountering this same issue as Espinete87 and have followed your suggestions with no prevail. I thought I would leave you a message in some hope I could get this working some day.
