Current build version is: 8869

Last updated: November 17th, 2024


Hammer++ supports different branches of Source engine.
Click the correct one for the game you are mapping for, or Hammer++ will not start.
Installation instructions are found inside a README.txt file contained in the downloads.

HLMV++ is now also bundled with the downloads and can be optionally installed.

Updating

To update Hammer++ if you had it already installed, download the new version, then simply drag and drop the files over your existing install. When you are asked to overwrite any files, click yes.

Game/Mod not listed?

You might still be able to use Hammer++ with it.
If it's a multiplayer game or mod, use the Source SDK 2013 Multiplayer download.
For singleplayer, try the Source SDK 2013 Singleplayer download.

Issues

The downloads sometimes get marked as malware by certain antiviruses.
If this happens, you must allow it or add an exception in your antivirus.
I'm unable to do anything about this, sorry for the inconvenience!

Some Windows versions have an issue where the File Open dialog will freeze Hammer++.
Workaround: Open hammerplusplus_settings.ini in Notepad and set FileDialogHack to false.

Warning

Are you following a tutorial to install the Source 2013 Multiplayer version for Garry's Mod?
DON'T! That tutorial is probably outdated.

There is now a Garry's Mod version of Hammer++ which is much easier to install and better supported. Download it above, unzip it and read the README file inside.

Warning

CS:GO is not supported and is frozen on build 8864.
It is left here for historical purposes. Consider using the Garry's Mod version instead. Garry's Mod supports loading content from the newer games, including CS:GO.
