Hammer is not open source, but the source code for it has leaked multiple times over a few versions (GldScr->Src), so there is always the possibility whoever is modifying Hammer has stumbled upon this code.
Just curious, did you use the included Worldcraft/compile tools, X-Layer? Or the official build of Hammer and its tools?
Ima give it a whirl myself once I look through all of the beta content.

Search up Free Steam in google, and the second link allows you to download most files from the Garrys Mod website without needing the game.
This is something I always wondered myself. My guess is was that they left it in from previous incarnations of Hammer (maybe with the intention of allowing HL2 to use WADs) but probably just remained unfinished and left behind.
I too thought it may only be compatible with RMF's or some weird combo, but I never got anything out of it.
Half-life Source doesn't make use of it either, instead having all its textures converted to VTF format.

Haha, I wouldn't worry commie, mine comes off as extremely bland. I seemed to have wasted much of the 2 months regarding this compo. ;]
Ouch, I had so much more planned, if only my mod didn't keep stealing my time away. I better start touching up my 3 maps for the compo, they are in serious need of Hammering away at! =]
It would appear so, assuming the .3ds importer functions properly. Give it a try! =]
He said he never tried it yet, how would he even know? =] The interface is simple enough for a complete beginner to modeling to pickup and create something simple. It has simple features, and is powerful enough to create physics objects in Source, but not powerful enough for Ragdolls , as well as no possibility of animating.
I have used it to create a handful of physics props for my mod already, as I like its simplicity for easy and quick needed props.
Never tried it for HL1 either, and just want to say if you are looking for intricate features to create complex models then this is not the program to get the job done.

Yep. Similar to how the HL2 Vanilla versions Bunny Hop also got removed.
My disk version of Half-life that installs to D:/SIERRA allows bunny hop before the 1.009? Patch is applied. Sorry, I don't really remember the versions or which one exactly removed it. Any non-steam HL should have it as long as you no update it. =]

Just make an 07 mod for the time being then.
Damn you guys got issues.
A quick fix is to create a 2007 mod as it still works (Like I said in the Compo31 thread) then compile using any version of the SDK through VBCT.
It must be a 07 mod, not 07 defaults. Hammer will work this way, perfectly normal.

Bad timing for the Source SDK to be on the fritz. Luckily, I can still progress on work through my EP2 mod. =]
Yeah, he is saying the decals and sprites that puff out when shooting the array of materials available in source are an array of fruity colors (Not just green for me). This happened to me before when compiling HL2 06 maps with a later compiler. For some reason, it only happens in certain areas, maybe light affects it? I am not sure, but my dirt puffs red, yellow, green, and blue.
So not wood. ;]
& Just for clarification, all competitions so far have been as many BSP files as you want to include, yes?

Anyone wanna share what there map's setting is shaping out to be so far? Mine turned out to be outdoor/indoor lab type place, and many textures are coming in handy in strange ways. func_detail decals are a bit of a pain though! =]
I am really enjoying myself with this compo!

What is the word on Decals? Plus, nice texture choices. So far it is all blending together fairly nicely! =]
Cap'n Terror: Thanks, and yes, I do believe it is much easier to make a water slide in source due to one great console command, "sv_friction". By default it is at 4, so if you put it at something like 0.1 you will be sliding all around uncontrollably, ha.
So all those triggers you see on my slide simply toggle the friction way low, and then toggle it back to default. I use that with an ice texture on the slide and a couple trigger_push's, as well as a trigger to force you to crouch, and you'll be sliding away in no time! =]
And thanks Zeeba-G. As usual, I will be very excited to see your map completed!

Well, I know the rules say constrict the player to the pool area... So I decided to make my whole map the pool area. =P Half man-made and half natural!
And yes, their is a Water slide as well as a constantly erupting volcano!
I'm in on this, but I agree with defuse, we truly need a ladder?
Big bump, but no, Ragdolls will not work correctly as a prop_physics.
If you know any C++ I can help you code the function you desire, however, as I have already looked into it.

1. Only by modifying the Source code. My mod currently lets you level up, and each time increases your Max health. If you have a grasp of C++ at all I can aid you.
2. You mean the actual player model? Or having any type of glow sprite (what have you) around the player? The easiest way would be to code your own function, but I know the I/O system has the ability to render props different colors at your whim, might apply to Player models if you used the !activator function.
3. Env_fade was mentioned, but I never knew it could do colors other than black. If that doesn't work, you could always used env_screenoverlay entity and create your own green texture to use with it.
4. If the player_equip doesn't work, use a point_servercommand with your trigger to just give the !activator any weapon of your choice.
5. Easily done with the Func_brush entity. Just toggle it with a trigger after 5 seconds, too easy.

Vista is garbage. Infinitely times better then 7? I really hope you're joking.
Also, you list all these supposed problems you have had with 7, yet I have yet to encounter any of those, so I am suspecting your hardware is the issue. Funny thing is that many of those issues you mention I did encounter with Vista.
And your comments on XP, "let alone used for anything useful? Sure... wasn't like Half-life 2 was developed on XP machines or anything...
BTW, good mention on the Texture Maker program. Definitely is sweet.

Nice tutorial link their JeffMod, might try that out today. His end result looks fantastic.
Hey I did what you said Rabid, and I thought it would work....but it still is all messed up 
thanks anyway.... 
thanks anyway.... Yeah....ok, this just happened recently, all of my icons (weapons like the pistol) all of a sudden changed to letters of the ABC's such as d for the pistol, and instead of a crosshair, its a Q. But this is screwing with other mods too...and I am confused
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v290/CrAzYiNeSs/Halo%20PICS/iconscrewed.jpg
There is an example.
and in my console, it also says something about items missing from each game (DOD, CS, CS-S, HL, HL2 Etc.)
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

Hey, I found the map! its called Rockv2, and he used a very clever way to make it look like it I love it! Ty anyway!
I love it! Ty anyway!hmmmm....well....ahh!. lol, I gotta find that map again and see what they did....
Alright, I have been wanting to know how to do this for awhile. I want to make, let say, a small building with a window in the ceiling (so you can see outside, blah blah) and I want to make it so when I walk through a trigger, the window will break and Ropes will drop down through, then combine will slide down on them. I really need to know how to do this, I have seen it in an earlier map, yet I cannot find it 
Please, an explanation, or if you could Really help me out fast, an example map would be greatly appreciatted. PLEASE! please tell me how
Please, an explanation, or if you could Really help me out fast, an example map would be greatly appreciatted. PLEASE! please tell me how so it would be possible to use the same script with a new model right? 
lol, that would take years to make a full mod doing that.....brb
Hey thanks guys, and rabid, I will try that...but it sounds rather doubtful, oh well.....ty I love mapping HL2 Custom Physboxes rock! 
oh well.....ty I love mapping HL2 Custom Physboxes rock! Yes, I have had a problem where if I use Hammer for about 10 minutes, it will either freeze (Mouse pointer doesnt move, nothing works, etc) or it will freak out (When you save, it doesnt save, it acts like every program for steam is uninstalled) All you have to do for this is close down Steam, re-open. BUt its really anoyying when you put alot of work into a map, then all of a sudden it freezes, or the PC shutsdown. (yes I save often ) but.....whats the problem? How do I fix? should I install another fan for the proccessor? what DO I DO! ahhH HELP ME!
) but.....whats the problem? How do I fix? should I install another fan for the proccessor? what DO I DO! ahhH HELP ME! AHHH! I beat the game, and I must say I love the ending, the VERY ending wow, that was fun, now, time to wait for the full SDK...... 
wow, that was fun, now, time to wait for the full SDK...... oooo Nice on finishing the game Captain P, I think I am pretty close to completion and I must say, this is one awesome and beautiful game!

o well, thanx!
o well, thanx!BLAHHh I have tried everything you guys have said would FLASH MX have to do with 3D rendering, because I can still make maps in the 2D views just cant go into 3D....
would FLASH MX have to do with 3D rendering, because I can still make maps in the 2D views just cant go into 3D.... AHHHHH now when I run Hammer, and try to go into 3d view the editor freezes and wont work!!!!!!!!! WHATS WRONG! please help me I want to map again
