Hi there. Haven't been here for quite a long time, and I'd like to get into mapping again.

So, starting up Hammer via Source SDK isn't the proper way anymore, right?

How exactly do you get started with the current version?

Just find the hammer.exe in the location down here!

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\bin should be like this!

And there you have it!

People say you should run hammer.bat at least once. Dunno why but just do it, maybe that prevents some future crashes
