Hi everyone!
This question puzzles me really hard:
What exactly do I need to create maps for HL2? I have Hammer 3.5 and some other tools for HL1 mapping, but what tools do I need for HL2? And how do those textures in HL2 work... No more .wad... :)
Some help and links would be reeealy apreciated... :)

Open Steam and go to "Play Games". Play "SourceSDK". Steam will take it from there. It will download the new Hammer and a few other programs and, from there, it will set it up for you.

THEN you can map for HL2.

Scroll down to the bottom of it isnt there, then you should try re-installing steam.

That is very odd although I got mine because I pre-ordered HL2 with CSS before it came out and it gave me the buggy Hammer which made mapping hard because it had so many bugs :S

Does HL2/CS:S/HL2DM run? Have they been Activated/Decrypted?

You need the game activated and installed (and purchased) in order to use the SDK.

did you buy the game legally? if you have a cracked version of the game, not only are you a freeloading scum and should be burned for 1000 years, you also won't be able to access the source SDK.

I think that valve would make HL3 even if they didnt have money. They would probably organize a contest and let "the community" make the game for them :roll:
