Hammer++ for Linux

Note:

Hammer, and by extension Hammer ++, are native Windows applications. Compatibility with Linux is limited by the compatibility tools, not Hammer or Hammer++.

• Chances are, most bugs you experience will be platform specific - do not report these bugs to the issue tracker.

Installation

1. Install CS:GO for Linux as normal.
2. Proceed to install the CS:GO SDK with Proton 7.0.3 enabled under compatibility settings.
3. In the launch options, for NVIDIA users, paste in the following: PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
4. In the launch options, for AMD users, you should be good with just: PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
5. From this point, you should be able to launch the SDK and launch Hammer without error.
6. Install Hammer++ as normal. (Arch based distros are under /home/.local/share/Steam/... and NOT in /home/.steam/!)
7. Replace hammer.exe with hammerplusplus.exe.

Troubleshooting

Steam may not have downloaded some of the Windows files necessary for Hammer. You can open the Steam console (steam://open/console) and type: download_depot 732

Known issues

• Using expert compile options will not succesfully run and compile a map. You will need to append .vmf to the end of each instance of $file in the command parameters.
• Opening the Options menu under Tools > Options will cause an access violation. A fix is not known at the moment.
