Hammer++ may be the most important software to come to Source Engine mappers, making the art of creating levels significantly faster. Once you get over the hurdle of installing it, which can be found here

It doesn't work on Linux
Why does he keep putting memes every 5 seconds? It makes it really hard to focus on the video.
great vid man. I can't even remember the last time I used hammer, it may have actually still been called worldcraft at that point. i've got that mapping itch again so thanks for the overview.
Is this why we had a sudden increase in incredibly detailed TF2 maps?
hammer is more easy once you learn hammer++
6:57 track name? also recently when i asked for track names the last ones no one answered it feels like we are going even further away from music credit which i think is really bad
wish there was a tutorial for all the new features, i still compile a million times for some stuff
Can't believe Valve used the same Hammer as us to make games. Those poor developers must have suffered.
its a hammer but a lil more gae
What's the song at 5:32?
glazer
Huge respect goes to ficool2 for making such incredible QOL changes for what every Source mapper knows and… knows about the original Hammer. I almost QUIT mapmaking for GMod because I didn't want to have to put up with Hammer's BS, but since Hammer++ came along, I was more happy than ever.
EDIT: Missing textures spotted at 5:13.
Been using Hammer+ for a few years now, not having to guesswork lighting is alone enough of a reason to ditch vanilla Hammer entirely.
Is it free tho?
if only it would support portal 2
I would love to us hammer ++, but you CANT LOOK AROUND WITH SCROLL WHEEL!
Is there a way to render env particles?

Hamer++ is better than the shitty Source2 Hammer editor…. God fucking damn it it's so frustrating and idiotic…. They somehow managed to make a level editor both easier and harder than the old one…. I'm currently working (or at least trying) on a CS2 map and i'm on the brink of loosing my mind. Lack of tutorials or shit tutorials that don't explain shit…. And developers on their official websites have not updated a shit ton of informations….. I think i will just stick with the source1 a few more years till they fix the damn Source2.
yes sause engine my favorite
love the vid only prob how to I make the map (unless I am forgetting sm)
Waiting for the day it gets an update though
Professional video with perfectly placed humor… well done!
unfunny
the fact i cant use hammer++ for dod:s is a sin
love this video <3
the sprinkle tool was in the og hammer!
i have an question how to anchor props so when i play the game they dont move or fall
please help me
hammer++ doesnt work when i place triggers they dont appear ingame
Well for gmod it is not all that impressive.
Those you show in the video, yes, excatly. Time saving!
But it is not perfect, as I cannot test my map without opening the regular hammer. For some reason I cannot configure the compile to build for gmod.
The developer should get a check from valve.
Hammer++ doesn't have any of these features, I downloaded it and loaded up a completed map of mine and nothing was changed..
whats the map in 4:43
wish hammer++ had a native portal 2 version. oh well…
Thank you MrROFLMAN very cool ! thanks to you I know of the existence of hammer++
