Hi everyone,
Once again I apologise if I have posted this is in the wrong place. Im currently researching Hammer for my year 12 research project and I have come across A Boojum Snark's Ultimate Mapping Resource Pack and think it looks amazing and would be an amazing help. When I downloaded and installed it, it wouldn't show up in Hammer (yes I have visgroups on ) and it might sound stupid but I just dont have any idea what to do, I have spent a few hours googling but have had no success. Not sure if this means anything but when i installed hammer and opened it, it was giving me a config error so I changed the bin file in SDK to program files (x86) instead of Program files and it opened fine.

I would love any help or even just a redirection?
Is there any tutorials on how to use it specifically?
Thanks heaps.

Well the proper place would have been to simply post in the thread made for it. There isn't anything that just "shows up" in Hammer, per se, if you were expecting a new toolbar or dialog.

The two libraries are maps, and by default are unpacked to the default map directory, so simply going to the open dialog in Hammer should have them show up there.

Prefabs are usable from the normal prefab place, and everything else is behind the scenes stuff that just changes what you see, such as entity icons, thumbnails in the material browser, or entity properties.

Yea pretty much :) im super new to Hammer and wast sure how it worked. But if you guys dont mind me asking i can see the Gametype library but when i open the prop library all i get is a green base and i cant see the props, i have all the settings how the FAQ says to have them but all i get is the base with entities. i assume that it is supposed to look how it looks in the screenshot? once again i apologise for posting in the wrong place, and thanks for all the help.

This is where the aforementioned visgroups come in. They let you hide/show the groups of prop types. The props are hidden by default because the entire thing rendering at once can be a strain on some computers.
