hammer is an exceedingly simple level editor compared to UnrealEd or that crazy Quake 3 editor whatever it was called
GTKRadiant? It's quite weird after Hammer, but it's a lot faster to use. Anyways, like people are saying Hammer is one of the easiest level editors out there. The displacements are quite hard to get accurately right in the editor, but luckily we can use height maps and programs like dispgen. For those who want to map for Empires: Read normal Source mapping tutorials first, same rules apply for Empires maps. Everything is the same except for a couple of entities.
Mapping is easy, if you have the time and a computer that can handle the buggy resourcehogging hammer.
Do you know where can I find that mini-tutorial on how to make Hammer work in DX7.0 mode? I had to stop using the beta sdk version, because it fucked up the entities quite badly at times. Everything else worked better than with this non-beta sdk version, but if the brush entities refuse to work... you can't do shit with it.
Doesn't work. I tried it already. edit: Now this is pretty fucked up... I started it with -dxlevel 80 now the models work and I can finally see something, BUT all my displacement surfaces got their alphas inverted. I hate Source mapping...
The thing is that they sometimes flip during compile, not only when you load your map. I don't know what's the case with this new update though. I'm hopeful.
www.interlopers.net once u get used to the hammer interface, and u can make entites and stuff, its ez as pie.
