| {{Sitenav|[[Mapping]] > Configuring Hammer for Empires}} | | {{MappingDocumentation}} |
| | | Hammer should work out of the box using the Hammer.bat file in the bin folder. Feel free to create a shortcut! Once launching, choose Empires 2013 from the list, and voila! Hammer for Empires should launch. If you encounter problems, do not hesitant to post on the [http://forums.empiresmod.com/index.php?forums/8 Mapping forum] to seek help. |
| {{Note|Before you do anything, make sure you have installed Hammer Editor, available through Steam under the ''Tools'' section.}}
| |
| {{Note|You also need to run hl2 deathmatch at least once for the game executable to be set up.}}
| |
| {{Note|As of a new SDK update you no longer need to use the -engine ep1 launch option, instead, start SDK and make sure Half-Life 2: Episode One is selected, then Half-life 2 below it, then start Half-Life 2 and follow the instructions below}}

| [[Image:Tools.png|thumb|right| To get to the Hammer configuration window...]]
| |
| | |
| Start by opening Hammer Editor through the Source SDK link in your ''Tools'' section in the Steam client. Once hammer is open go to 'tools' at the top, then click 'options' which brings up the hammer configuration window required for this tutorial. Follow the directions below.
| |
| == Game Configuration Tab ==

| |
| | |
| '''Add following .fgd files into your fgd list:'''
| |
| * Base.fgd
| |
| * Halflife2.fgd
| |
| * Empires.fgd (located at $SteamDir\SteamApps\SourceMods\Empires\mapsrc\fgd\empires.fgd)
| |
| | |
| '''The Game executable Directory should be set to:'''
| |
| $SteamUserDir\half-life 2 deathmatch\hl2
| |
| | |
| '''The game directory should be set to:'''
| |
| $SteamDir\SteamApps\SourceMods\Empires
| |
| | |
| '''The hammer vmf directory should be set to:'''
| |
| $SteamDir\SteamApps\SourceMods\Empires\mapsrc
| |
| | |
| All relative to where you installed empires, meaning that if you configured your folders to be called somthing else then you need to specify the paths according to that
| |
| | |
| == Build Programs ==
| |
| [[Image:Build_programs.png|thumb|right| Build programs tab]]
| |
| '''Game executable:'''
| |
| $SteamUserDir\half-life 2 deathmatch\hl2.exe
| |
| '''BSP executable:'''
| |
| $SteamUserDir\sourcesdk\bin\ep1\bin\vbsp.exe
| |
| '''VIS executable:'''
| |
| $SteamUserDir\sourcesdk\bin\ep1\bin\vvis.exe
| |
| '''RAD executable:'''
| |
| $SteamUserDir\sourcesdk\bin\ep1\bin\vrad.exe
| |
| '''Place compiled maps in this directory before running the game:'''
| |
| $SteamDir\SteamApps\SourceMods\Empires\maps
| |
| | |
| And that should be it, now all you have to do is exit hammer and restart the SDK.
