Other

• Hammer++/Bugs and limitations with unsupported games
• 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 receives updates, so it's highly recommended that you use the Garry's Mod version alongside it instead, if you have GMod.

Header

• Game
• Hammer++ Version
• Engine branch (game)

Game/tool notes

• Notes
• Retest using GMOD: Need retest using GMOD version.

Generic

• Install to game's bin folder normally.

Generic x64

• Install to game's bin/x64 folder normally.

Alien Swarm

• 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

Black Mesa

• Mod: 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.
• Steam: Check out the issues below in the relevant subpage. A separate version for Black Mesa is not planned.

Garry's Mod

• Check out the issues below in the relevant subpage. Similar to standard method, but make sure to view this file as well for additional steps.

Half-Life: Source

• Configure Hammer for Half-Life: Source, then install to game's bin folder normally.

Half-Life Deathmatch: Source

• Configure Hammer for Half-Life: Source, then install to game's bin/x64 folder normally.

Left 4 Dead

• 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

• 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.

Mapbase

• Check out the issues below in the relevant subpage.

Momentum Mod

• ^[confirm]

Source Filmmaker

• Portal 2's compile tools also work. Hammer++ shouldn't be installed in SFM's bin folder, but works when pointed to from another game.

Portal 2: Community Edition

• 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.

Postal III

• 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' (not to be confused with Prefab on Hammer);

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.

Hunt Down the Freeman

• This build uses Source 2013 Multiplayer to reduce map size.

Source 2006

• 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.

Titanfall

Team Fortress 2 Classic

• Setting up Hammer

Jabroni Brawl: Episode 3

• Install to game's bin/win32 folder normally.^[confirm]
  FGD must be modified to replace soundscape and sky KVs with string.
  As CSGO version of Hammer++ is frozen on an older version, it may be desirable to use H++ alongside the native CSGO version, to take advantage of newer features like Propper++.
