I tried to follow these directions and got an error. When I try to open Hammer Editor, it says "the configuration information for the game you're trying to edit is invalid or missing." If I run anyway, it crashes and says something about gameinfo.txt or vconfig. What to do?Getting Started with Source Engine Level EditingAlso note:

You got a outdated config there most likely. Did you try running hammer from steamapps/common/team fortress 2/bin/hammer.exe ?

I was able to open hammer in the first way you mentioned. Now I just have to configure this beast. It would be nice to get it to function like GtkRadiant, the tool I have been using to make Urban Terror maps for almost 3 years now.
