You shouldn't have to download Null.wad. It should be in the materials folder already. But if it's not, then right click the link https://hl2-beta.ru/media/forum/hammersetup/null.wad Then right click, and click "save linked content as..." and It should make it a wad, hope this helped

Inside your "anon-hl2" folder (or whatever you named in) in the bin folder there's an exe called "wc" That's hammer/worldcraft

Whenever I try to open a vmf file, it crashes at 33% and adds a file to the maps folder called:
"hammer_20190728_150757_1_accessviolation.mdmp"

EDIT: I fixed this by simply opening the map from the editor, not by double clicking on the file

TL:DR: DON'T OPEN THE EDITOR FROM A VMF FILE

I'm having trouble compiling the map. When when I click on the .vmf, and try and search for my map in the console, it seems to not detect the map and it does not show up.

(I don't know if I understood you correctly, please elaborate).
Did you save your map in the maps folder? HL2 Beta doesn't really like trying to load vmf's from locations different than that one specific folder for some reson.

[consul.lol]

Yep. What I meant was I clicked on the .vmf (My map) and it just runs hl2.exe and it doesn't seem to see that my map is in the maps folder. Therefore, I can't load it in the console.

Ok then. Are you sure that you compiled it properly? ".vmf" files can only be read by Hammer. After compiling it should be in the ".bsp" format. If it's not, you didn't actually compile it. While having your map open in the editor press the F9 key, tick on the "Don't run the game" option and press OK. After that load the map via console in game. Hopefully I helped.

i have a problem. i configed WC properly and when i tried to compile it said this:

"the command faild. windows reported the error:
    "the system cannot find the file specified"

and this:

 ** Executing...

The command failed. Windows reported the error:
  "The system cannot find the file specified."

Try renaming your map and giving it name with no dots. like half_life_2.vmf or halflife2.vmf
