Unsupported games
The Source SDK does not support editing for the following games:
 Half-Life and other games using its engine aka 
 GoldSrc (e.g. 
 Counter-Strike).
 Half-Life: Alyx and other games using 
 Source 2 (e.g. 
 Dota 2)
Half-Life SDK should be used for GoldSource games such as Half-Life. It includes an old version of Hammer editor, 3.4, which should be updated to 3.5 manually, or use alternatives such as 
 J.A.C.K..
Source 2 games should use their own Workshop Tools (Counter-Strike 2 Workshop Tools for Counter-Strike 2, Half-Life: Alyx Workshop Tools for Half-Life: Alyx, etc...). These ships with Hammer 5.x.
