Hammer++/Docs/Installation for Other Games
Hammer++ is a powerful mapping tool that solves many issues that the
Hammer introduces, and adds some much needed features that useful to every mapper, however there is no version of Hammer++ that directly supports the
Portal 2 engine branch or
Left 4 Dead engine branch out-of-the-box. Thankfully, there is a way to configure a Hammer++ configuration, using the
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive branch, to use
Portal 2 or
Left 4 Dead 2 assets and entities.
This method was originally taken from this steam guide. Use this while the article is still under construction
Installing Hammer++ for Portal 2
Step 1: acquiring necessary files
Go to the Hammer++ website and navigate to the download section. Download the CS:GO version.

Next, make sure you have CS:GO downloaded on your computer. It is not needed to launch the CS:GO SDK, nor is it needed to ever launch the game, you just need the files on your computer.
Step 2: Installing Hammer++
The next step is actually installing Hammer++ into the CS:GO files. Drag the bin
folder in the archive into the Counter Strike: Global Offensive folder in your steamapps/common
folder. Now, go into the bin
folder and launch Hammer++.
Step 3: Setting up a Portal 2 configuration
Now, we will create a new configuration pointed at the Portal 2 assets. Now, this is where things can get complicated. You will now launch the hammerplusplus.exe
executable. You will get a popup that says that there are no configurations. Make sure to click no, otherwise you will get redirected to another article on this wiki.
