SDK and Hammer Released

[biohazerd87]

i think it was today ??? but anywho Source SDK was released which includes the new hammer

[SoUlFaThEr]

can we get hammer without having all the SDK?
how big is that download and where is the link to it?

[dead bwoy]

you must download through steam, and have steam running while you're using it.
the STEAM forums, http://www.steampowered.com/forums/f...?s=&forumid=41, were blowing up, but were closed down. You can still view the old posts where you can find info on how to fix most of the issues with the new hammer.

no you don't have to be online to map, you only have to d/l it trough steam, and you must have hl2 preordered to get it.

btw. its alot of fun to play a round with with the physic's

You may not have to be on-line, but steam must be running while Hammer is open! Otherwise, you get an error message which closes down the app.

extract the files with GCFScape?
that doesen't work for me, it complains about a missing file tier0.dll.

ow wait i copied the file to the folder and shutdown steam, and hammer did run,
i will try to map with it.

[update]
hmm i probebly was to fast with the hammer launche after i shut steam down, it does complain about steam not running now.
