Getting Started

The first thing to do is launch Hammer, the level editor for Source:

1. Double-click Source SDK in the Steam Play Games menu. (If Source SDK doesn't show up in the Play Games menu, go to the View - Tools menu and install it there.)
2. Select the game you wish to map for from the Current Game from the dropdown list in the Source SDK Launcher.
3. Now double-click Hammer Editor to launch it.

Launch the Hammer Editor in Half-Life 2: Deathmatch mode by following these steps.

The Hammer editor should now launch, and start with a blank window, ready to use.

Pick New from the File menu to create an empty map.

An empty, blank map is created, and you are ready to start building.
