== Why Certain Versions of Hammer Don't Work ==
{{category end}}
Newer versions of Hammer don't work because they are for newer games that use Source. Newer versions of Hammer also don't have the same setup required to make goldsource maps. Therefore you must use older versions such as Hammer 3.4 and J.A.C.K.
NOTE: Valve did not create J.A.C.K. They only created certain aspects of J.A.C.K. that make the program work.


== Is There a video on how to make maps? ==
[[Category:Level Design]]
So your new to Day of Defeat and its map making aspects. All good, just watch Holycow's Video on it.
