Hammer / Mapping Resources

smash · 05-17-2007, 07:03 PM

This thread is dedicated to all of the helpful and insightful websites out there dedicated to the Hammer Map Editor.

Below are links to sites that have compiled a list of tutorials; tutorials that cover most of the aspects of the map editor. Things such as lighting, placing textures, creating brushes (basic to complex), setting up triggers, sound, physics props, NPC elements - The works!

Valve Developer Community - Level Design by Category
Hammer Editor Manual
Interlopers.net - Complete list of errors
Snarkpit.net
Halfwit-2.com - mostly single-player based.
Editlife.net
*DOWN* Iwannamap.com
TF2Maps.net
TWHL.co.za
NoDraw.net

If you have any useful sites to add, please PM me, as well as post them here, and they will be added to this post ASAP.

Happy mapping!

No wonder my thread was locked on VERC. The entire forum moved here!

This should be better, considering there's a butt-load more traffic on this site, but I just hope some of the very knowledgeable posters decide to come here as well... like VeryAngryBeaver.

Yes, all that needs to be done is to go to the settings in steam, and untick the box that says 'dont save account credentials'.

Then you can log into steam whilst not connected to the net.
