Getting FF into Hammer.

In your steam\SteamApps\<user>\sourcesdk\bin is a file called GameConfig.txt

Modify that file to add an entry for ff_beta. Adjust all the paths to point to your ff_beta directory stuff.

Code:

"FortressForever"
{
	"GameDir"		"c:\steam\steamapps\SourceMods\FortressForever"
	"hammer"
	{
		"GameData0"		"c:\steam\steamapps\SourceMods\FortressForever\fortressforever.fgd"
		"TextureFormat"		"5"
		"MapFormat"		"4"
		"DefaultTextureScale"		"0.250000"
		"DefaultLightmapScale"		"16"
		"GameExe"		"c:\steam\steamapps\YOUR_ACCOUNT\source sdk base\hl2.exe"
		"DefaultSolidEntity"		"func_detail"
		"DefaultPointEntity"		"info_player_start"
		"BSP"		"c:\steam\steamapps\YOUR_ACCOUNT\sourcesdk\bin\vbsp.exe"
		"Vis"		"c:\steam\steamapps\YOUR_ACCOUNT\sourcesdk\bin\vvis.exe"
		"Light"		"c:\steam\steamapps\YOUR_ACCOUNT\sourcesdk\bin\vrad.exe"
		"GameExeDir"		"c:\steam\steamapps\$SteamUserDir\source sdk base"
		"MapDir"		"c:\steam\steamapps\YOUR_ACCOUNT\sourcesdk_content\hl2\mapsrc"
		"BSPDir"		"c:\steam\steamapps\SourceMods\FortressForever\maps"
		"CordonTexture"		"tools\toolsskybox"
		"MaterialExcludeCount"		"0"
	}
}

Replace YOUR_ACCOUNT with your Steam account name (if this isn't obvious maybe you shouldn't be mapping).

Then when you open up the Source SDK, you can change the drop down box to FortressForever (whatever you called the entry in GameConfig.txt), then fire up hammer and you'll be making a FF map.

I copy/pasted the quote into the bottom of my GameConfig and swapped the email out with mine, but it didn't work. Can you be more specific with the instructions or offer more detail?

I ended up just putting in my own setup into configs based off the data provided and my previous hl2dm config.

Now I shall find the post on Fortress Entities. And I think this post will help us all... http://www.fortress-forever.com/foru...ad.php?t=10660
