Hammer++
![Source](/w/images/thumb/1/10/Icon-Source.png/16px-Icon-Source.png)
Hammer++ is a community-made modification of the Valve Hammer Editor for Source that provides an updated, more stable, feature-rich version of the editor.
Hammer++ currently supports the following branches of the Source engine:
Team Fortress 2 (x64 only)
Counter-Strike: Source (via
)
Source 2013 Multiplayer
Source 2013 Singleplayer
Garry's Mod (x64 only)
Left 4 Dead 2
It is also included with Military Conflict: Vietnam, in lieu of vanilla Hammer.
Hammer++ for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is no longer supported; Ficool recommends using
Garry's Mod Hammer++ and porting the
lightmapped_4wayblend
shader. Alternatively, use Military Conflict: Vietnam's version of Hammer++.

Caveats
![Icon-Bug.png](/w/images/thumb/b/b4/Icon-Bug.png/10px-Icon-Bug.png)
- Always uses Windows's high-DPI scaling setting, even when scaling override mode is set to "Application" in
File Explorer's compatibility settings for
hammerplusplus.exe
. This can result in less real estate thanHammer 4.x, depending on Windows settings.
- Does not correctly render
env_beam
previews when the env_beam itself is set as a start or end point.
![Warning.png](/w/images/thumb/c/cb/Warning.png/10px-Warning.png)
- Does not support some features from
Hammer 4.x, such as "Convert WAD to VMT...", or loading GoldSrc ".MAP" files directly.
- Ignores
%notooltexture
, with no option to disable this change. - Manifests are not supported, only instances.
- No map_edit / hammer_update_entity support.
- Lighting preview ignores
_minlight
.
Additional bugs can be found in the official issue tracker, which is no longer maintained.
