Setting up Hammer (definitive guide)

Courtesy of the FF maps repository:

Guide to setting up Hammer

Unfortunately, as of right now, a separate Source SDK Base 2006 install is required, but hopefully we'll be able to get the standalone setup working (see issue #4: 2d model wireframe/model picker not working with standalone setup).

Squeek, Can you explain how to compile the code in order to create the gameinfo.txt? I have gone to your link, I simply need a little direction in order to create the file.

You don't need to compile it; it's a batch script. Download this and save it as setup.bat, then double click it.

Thanks for this!! However here is what I'm facing when I load up the map I'm working on:


The model browser


The errors up top are supposed to be light_spot entities none of which work in game, and decals do compile but show the error model in hammer.


player spawns also show are error, but do work in game along with cable/robe entities.

Is there an ETA on the missing file list, or the "SDK" package? I am dying to start mapping again.

I am a modeler and an animator now, so i plan on some really nice looking stuff.

The ability to import and see my textured models is a needed thing. i plan on some custom door jams, and some nice custom molding around all of my sharp edges.Will probably do a few trees and bushes here and there too.

I am very excited to see some life come back into this game after so many years.

You're using the current instructions? Do you have Source SDK Base 2006 installed?

I am installing the Source 2006 SDK now. I dont plan on using any existing meshes. Just existing textures for my BSP stuff. All of my lights and doors will be custom meshes.

Will this effect me? I dont need anything other than base textures. (I dont want my maps to be huge downloads for people.)

Do I need the 2006 SDK at all? Are all the Actors and mod things working without the SKD?

Sorry to be a pest.

From my testing, everything should be working as normal if you follow the instructions linked in the OP. All the textures/models/etc that are usable in Hammer after following those instructions will work in FF without any extra effort. You need Source SDK Base 2006 installed (even though FF redistributes it) to avoid this issue.

[TALOS]Smoke, you followed the instructions in the OP exactly?

Now it is asking for a bunch of engine information. It wants me to set up some sort of profile.

File selector makes it take 10 minutes for each attempt.

I am starting to see why most source mods never went anywhere.

Are you sure you're following the instructions linked in the OP? It sets up the profile for you. Follow them exactly.

OK, got it to work.

Downloaded the maps-master zip file from the Git site. Unzipped into the maps folder, and then ran the batch file from that folder.

Have 2 fort in the editor now

Thanks Squeek.

Sorry, I have been really busy with rl. squeek, I'm still having the same issue as before, also hammer is not showing the size of the brushes when I try to build them. I don't think it's something on my end, but then again... who knows.
