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 file into your fgd list:'''
* Empires.fgd (located at $SteamDir\SteamApps\SourceMods\Empires\mapsrc\fgd\empires.fgd)
 
'''The Game executable Directory should be set to:'''
$SteamUserDir\source sdk base 2007
 
'''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\source sdk base 2007\hl2.exe
'''BSP executable:'''
$SteamUserDir\sourcesdk\bin\orangebox\bin\vbsp.exe
'''VIS executable:'''
$SteamUserDir\sourcesdk\bin\orangebox\bin\vvis.exe
'''RAD executable:'''
$SteamUserDir\sourcesdk\bin\orangebox\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.
