How do you configure hammer for half-life 2

[john41]

Hey guys, sorry if this has been posted, did a search and came up with nothing. Anyway I am having trouble getting the sdk to configure for half-life 2 maps. with the release of the full sdk today I was wondering if someone could tell me how or point me in the direction of a page that explains it. I have tried to change it in the hammer options menu; i.e. changing the configuration to half-life 2 in game configuration and build programs, adding the halflife2.fdg file to the list, and setting the game executable to hl2.exe. When I hit ok, nothing has changed and all the options I changed are back to what they were.

Any help would be much appreciated.

All I know is that you that after you've made a config, you select it from the bottom of the window you launch hammer with.


I wish someone would post a definitive setup list for all game types

Don't know if it'll help, but I just made a thread about this over at the VERC. Click me.

I had to create a new mod to get anything to compile properly...
