Getting Hammer to work with Garry's Mod
Method 1
by Poke
    Finding Hammer.exe for HL2
  • First make sure you have HL2 and Garry's Mod installed and run at least 1 map in both games. (No episodes needed for HL2)

  • Second go to your steam folder and then "Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life 2\bin" Then try and run Hammer.exe (Run as admin) from there instead of using Source sdk (Source sdk is outdated!). Select Half-Life 2 in the configuration box that pups up.

    Getting Hammer to work with Garry's Mod
  • Now go in to hammer then go to "Tools>Options..." Then go to the tap "Build Programs".
    Then you just have to make it save in Garry's Mod maps folder by changing the stuff in "Place compiled maps in this directory before running the game:" I have it like this "$SteamDir\steamapps\common\garrysmod\garrysmod\maps".

  • Re-launch hammer, you can make a shortcut for the hammer.exe from the second step!

    Getting and setting up Source sdk 2013 single player
  • Download source sdk 2013 single player when thats done DONT START IT nothing will happen. What you need to do next is go to the following directory: "C:\program files\steam\steamAPS\common\sourcesdk2012 singelplayer\bin". There you should find hammer.exe. Start that and you get a box with a couple of configurations to use. For this instance use the hlaf life 2 configuration. If you want to add content just simple extract the textures and models inside of the sdk hl2 folder.

    Saving your maps in Garry's Mod
  • You can change the map directory in the settings by changing the dir. in tools>options>VMFdirectory. Then select the GMod maps folder.

Good luck and happy mapping!
