Can the Source VALVe Hammer Editor be used to construct HL1 maps?

It can but it's pointless, just use 3.4.

Well I've been having issues downloading 3.4 so I was just wondering if I could use the Source capable editor.

Speaking of this source-hl1 compatibility: Does Valve Hammer Editor (source SDK) allow you to save a .vmf file as a .map file?

I don't know, I think this whole compatibility is kinda senseless anyway since the older versions are still downloadable and run easier.

I don't think you can save vmfs as .maps. They are completely different formats. I'm not too famaliar with Source mapping though so I could be wrong.

Just checked - there's no export to .map function. And indeed, Worldcraft dude, those new HL2 elements like dismaps and all would give another .map type file than HL maps would give anyway.

I was hoping you could map for HL1 using that because imagine using displacements to make terrain in HL1. Would be so much easier :D!

HL1 doesn't support dismaps so whether you use Hammer 4.0 for HL or not, you're not going to get it to run...

The reason I asked is because I have parts of a map done with Source that I need to use in Half-life1.
My "Projects" classroom in university doesnt have Internet yet, so I cant use STEAM/Hl2 to show teachers my work. I dont have the problem with HL1, obviously

Opening a .vmf in Hammer 3.4 doesn't work. Hammer 4.0 can export to an AutoCad format tough, as far as I know, so if there's AutoCad there you could do something to show it off. Perhaps there's a custom tool that can convert .vmf's to .rmf's, but I haven't encountered one yet...

Why would anyone bother? All the new features are for the engine, really.

There is a possibility though.
When you import a .MAP file in Hammer 4, I think you can save it to .MAP
It wont save it as a .VMF unless you specify so. The problem is that Hammer 3.4 probably wouldnt open that .MAP file... I'll have to test it.
The "export to DXF" option is useful for Autocad and specially for importing maps into Bryce. But these programs dont have the HL textures, and the whole point is being able to walk through the building in real time.
