Is it possible to make HL1 (or CS, TFC, etc) maps with the Hammer that comes with the source sdk? If so, how? I can't get it to work (Warning gameinfo.txt doesn?t exist in c:program filessteamsteamappsmy emailteam fortress classictfc).

And every time I try to run Hammer version 3.4, Hammer crashes before it even opens. It crashes even after I re-installed it. Did valve do something screwy that wont let me use older versions of Hammer once the sourve sdk is installed?

Firstly, no, you can't use Hammer 4 for Half-life.

Any error messages from VHE3.5? Any indication what might be wrong?

"Valve Hammer Editor has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for any inconvenience.

Send Error Report?"

:(

Doesn't this suggest you can use the new hammer for hl1 maps?

I found another post on a different site that also said it was possible, but a pain in the ass. Any ideas?

I still think fixing VHE is the easier way out.

Not sure, why? How do I tell? And yes ZL, easiest is best :)

Hammer doesn't use .NET. You're probably thinking of GCFScape.

Racer, I'd suggest you upgrade all your graphics drivers (graphics card and motherboard AGP ones) and DirectX. Then try reinstalling Hammer.

Thanks, I'll try. I've only been able to do a little mapping on my gf's comp, otherwise I haven't done any serious mapping in sooo long. Maybe I'll just get rid of this p.o.s. lemon of a no good useless comp once and for all and get something new.
