You'd need to also transfer the TF2 assets in order to use them within Hammer

In theory, you could make a "TF2 Lite" with only the most common/useful textures and models. It could definitely be useful if your away from your main computer but need to map.
I did some research into this. This early build of TF2 is much lighter than the newer versions of the game. All you need to run it is Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer (under the "Tools" category in Steam). The only downside I can think of is that since it's such an early build, it only has a few gamemodes.
Head's up, it's gonna need a lot of fiddling to get it working. You need to set up the Hammer in the Source SDK Base to work with the mod (this guide is for TF2 Classic, but it works with this too), but in order to that you need the FGD, which isn't included in the download and you'll have to grab from somewhere else (this one seems to work for me).
The ABS Mapping pack, from what I've tried, doesn't work with this. If you were planning on using it, I'm sorry.

I'm familiar with the FGD, but thanks for the link. Yeah, I knew that it wasn't going to work, which is always really disapointing to me, I might be able to extract out to a full version and the manually copy over the files from where they got extracted to.
Hey that's what I want to do. What files did you copy over? Note that I can't install any execs. thx

If you can't install execs how are you getting getting access to Steam? You need it to get this to work.
