Title: Source SDK - Hammer
Post by: UKZz HELLRAISER on August 16, 2016, 03:17:30 pm

Could we get a tutorial for setting up Hammer?
I'd like to make some custom maps (first maps would be recreations of PS2's JB 007: Nightfire).

Find your GameConfig.txt file.

It's located in ...\STEAM\SteamApps\common\SourceSDK\bin\source2007\bin

Open it up with a text editor.
If it's empty it should look like this:

Code: [Select]

"Configs"
{
	"Games"
	{

	}
	"SDKVersion"		"3"
}

Inbetween the brackets, insert this Text:

Code: [Select]

		"GE:S v5.0"
		{
			"GameDir"		"D:\STEAM\SteamApps\sourcemods\gesource"
			"hammer"
			{
				"GameData0"		"D:\STEAM\SteamApps\sourcemods\gesource\goldeneye.fgd"
				"TextureFormat"		"5"
				"MapFormat"		"4"
				"DefaultTextureScale"		"0.250000"
				"DefaultLightmapScale"		"16"
				"GameExe"		"D:\STEAM\steamapps\common\Source SDK Base 2007\hl2.exe"
				"DefaultSolidEntity"		"func_detail"
				"DefaultPointEntity"		"info_player_deathmatch"
				"BSP"		"D:\STEAM\steamapps\common\SourceSDK\bin\source2007\bin\vbsp.exe"
				"Vis"		"D:\STEAM\steamapps\common\sourcesdk\bin\source2007\bin\vvis.exe"
				"Light"		"D:\STEAM\steamapps\common\sourcesdk\bin\source2007\bin\vrad.exe"
				"GameExeDir"		"D:\STEAM\SteamApps\sourcemods\gesource"
				"MapDir"		"D:\STEAM\SteamApps\sourcemods\gesource\mapsrc"
				"BSPDir"		"D:\STEAM\SteamApps\sourcemods\gesource\maps"
				"CordonTexture"		"tools\toolsskybox"
				"MaterialExcludeCount"		"0"
			}
		}

Now you only need to change the file paths to whereever your steam is located, if it's not acidentally D:\ for you.
I'd recomend the search and replace function to minimize the risk of typos.

For MapDir you're free to choose any path you like to store your .vmf files in.

Thanks very much.
I knew GameInfo.txt was the file to go to, just not where this partiuclar one was hiding.
I had come across another post for setting it up, but obviously the GameInfo.txt that post referenced was the wrong one.

Thanks again.

Will do!
Currently working on 007: Nightfire's "Snowblind" MP map from the console versions.
The ambition is to recreate all of them ;)

RogerMooreSucks is already working on Snowblind, he's almost done. He's also working on Fort Knox. I'm working on Subpen.

I'm trying to create maps and i have no idea what "Hammer" even is.. let alone why what kraid said above doesn't work with the 2007 source i have.  A tutorial would be nice:
