Why does he keep putting memes every 5 seconds? It makes it really hard to focus on the video.

@karaokebozo December 19, 2024 - 9:18 am

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?

@FatherMerica December 19, 2024 - 9:18 am

hammer is more easy once you learn hammer++

@midvightmirage December 19, 2024 - 9:18 am

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

@PunishedVatti December 19, 2024 - 9:18 am

wish there was a tutorial for all the new features, i still compile a million times for some stuff

@SirKolass December 19, 2024 - 9:18 am

Can't believe Valve used the same Hammer as us to make games. Those poor developers must have suffered.

@uhohwhy December 19, 2024 - 9:18 am

its a hammer but a lil more gae

@azzyzun1478 December 19, 2024 - 9:18 am

What's the song at 5:32?

@ogskurwysynfr December 19, 2024 - 9:18 am

@SilvercattoOsom December 19, 2024 - 9:18 am

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.

@crestfallenneet2167 December 19, 2024 - 9:18 am

Been using Hammer+ for a few years now, not having to guesswork lighting is alone enough of a reason to ditch vanilla Hammer entirely.

@denifnaf5874 December 19, 2024 - 9:18 am

Is it free tho?

@loreyainclips December 19, 2024 - 9:18 am

if only it would support portal 2

@thatzanzystig December 19, 2024 - 9:18 am

I would love to us hammer ++, but you CANT LOOK AROUND WITH SCROLL WHEEL!

@ForsakenSandpaper December 19, 2024 - 9:18 am

@AN7HROSwift December 19, 2024 - 9:18 am

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.

@sfm_pakic3527 December 19, 2024 - 9:18 am

yes sause engine my favorite

@CosmicStudiosYT December 19, 2024 - 9:18 am

Waiting for the day it gets an update though

@lancemarchetti8673 December 19, 2024 - 9:18 am

Professional video with perfectly placed humor... well done!

@MRJakeyBro December 19, 2024 - 9:18 am

unfunny

@BenT1no December 19, 2024 - 9:18 am

@Knooper December 19, 2024 - 9:18 am

@Njegosos December 19, 2024 - 9:18 am

i have an question how to anchor props so when i play the game they dont move or fall
please help me

@Littletobbo December 19, 2024 - 9:18 am

hammer++ doesnt work when i place triggers they dont appear ingame

@tulisotilas December 19, 2024 - 9:18 am

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.

@h8everythingdies December 19, 2024 - 9:18 am

The developer should get a check from valve.

@NicholasPrince-m5d December 19, 2024 - 9:18 am

Hammer++ doesn't have any of these features, I downloaded it and loaded up a completed map of mine and nothing was changed..

@hamdurger December 19, 2024 - 9:18 am

whats the map in 4:43

@cyanidethefox2160 December 19, 2024 - 9:18 am

@sputniksorb December 19, 2024 - 9:18 am
