Note:This table is for games (and mods) which aren't explicitly supported by the latest downloads found on the website.

Todo: Make it clearer when games require you to install H++ in a different game's directory (see BMS mod version notes for example).

Important:In order to use CS:GO Hammer++, you must have the csgo_legacy beta branch installed for Counter-Strike 2. The CS:GO Hammer++ no longer received updates so it's highly recommended that you should switch to Garry's Mod version instead.

Game	Engine branch (game)	Hammer++ Version	Notes
Alien Swarm	Alien Swarm engine branch	Garry's Mod	Errors about reading particles, use mount.cfg to mount alien swarm data. Note:Functions differently than Hammer, instead of using a func_brush with name structure_seal, use a normal brush to close your maps. If compiled it forces the map to be fullbright even if there are lights. Important:use func_details for your entire map as it will generate unwanted portals
Half-Life: Source	Source 2013 Singleplayer	Source 2013 Singleplayer	Configure Hammer for Half-Life: Source, then install to game's bin folder normally.
Half-Life Deathmatch: Source	Source 2013 Multiplayer	Source 2013 Multiplayer
Half-Life 2: Deathmatch	Team Fortress 2 branch	Team Fortress 2	Since 20th Anniversary update, HL2DM is on the TF2 branch. The Source 2013 Multiplayer version no longer works, but installing 64-bit version into HL2DM works.
Left 4 Dead	Left 4 Dead engine branch	L4D2	L4D2 Hammer++ appears fine on Left 4 Dead, except when compiling the map. Once compiled and joining the map, an error will appear and display: STEAM validation rejected and unable to interact with the menu after pressing ok. Workaround:Before compiling the map, check the box Don't run the game after compiling and then compile the map, after it has been compiled, enter Left 4 Dead and via console, type: map <map name>. Tip:You can enable dev by going to manage < properties and on Launch options, type: -dev 1. Fix:Remove the steam_appid.txt from the hammerplusplus folder.
Left 4 Dead 2		L4D2	Identical to Left 4 Dead, without the Steam rejection, only displaying error on console and unable to interact with the menu when exiting the map. Fix:Remove the steam_appid.txt from the hammerplusplus folder.

Black Mesa (2012 mod version)	Source 2007	Source 2013 Singleplayer	Install to Source SDK Base 2013 - Singleplayer's bin folder and add a game configuration pointing to the mod; the Source 2013 SP compilers generate BSPs that are compatible with Source 2007.
Mapbase	Source 2013 Singleplayer	Source 2013 Singleplayer	Install to game's bin folder normally. Check out the issues below in the relevant subpage.
Postal III	Source 2009	Source 2013 Singleplayer	Requires modification to Postal 3's FGD file(s); Recommended to use Postal 3's compilers instead; Some Hammer features from Postal 3's are missing like 'prefabs'; Requires Source SDK Base 2013 MP/SP to be installed; Requires folder linking inside SDK Base's sourcetest folder to load assets; Hammer++ will crash if placed inside Postal 3's bin folder.
Portal	Source 2013 Singleplayer	Source 2013 Singleplayer	Install to game's bin folder normally.
Portal 2: Community Edition	Strata Source	Garry's Mod?	Check out the issues on the relevant subpage. Support by developers is not planned, and usage is strongly discouraged; some Hammer++ features will be added to Strata Hammer.
Source SDK Base 2006 Source 2006 games & mods (including Counter-Strike: Source v34, Half-Life 2 Old Engine, etc...)	Source 2006	Source 2013 Singleplayer or Source 2013 Multiplayer	See Installation for Source 2006 games. Don't forget that Source 2006 games will have less textures (including tools textures such as 2D Skybox), differences in LDR + HDR lighting compared to Source 2007 and later (including Hammer++ lighting preview). So remember to run both Source 2006's Hammer and Hammer++ and check see if the same texture exists in Texture Browser on Source 2006's Hammer before adding it to the map.
