    explosivose will be giving a talk on TF2 Map building and the hammer editor.

    You will need a laptop with windows and steam installed in order to obtain the full benefit of this talk.

    not sure if serious...
    Hammer is the Source level editor that is used in all Source games for building worlds. This includes TF2, Portal, L4D... I'll be talking about the basics of using this program, probably starting with how to make a lit room
    edit:
    It's a 2 hour session so we'll move on to more interesting things, it just depends what attendees want to learn!

    Miles had initially misspelt editor. Note the extra I in my response. He has since ninja'd this to be no longer the case.

    Well played sir.

    So here's the Hammer Handout so far. It's a work in progress and I'll print as many as there are attending on this thread.

    If someone wants to fire up hammer and try to use this handout on their own and then tell me what went wrong that would be lovely

    I'm a bit of a veteran at hammer so I'll probably be coming to this and helping anyone with problems. If anyone tries it before the talk and fails horribly or just wants to learn more add me on steam and gimme a buzz when I'm on.
