In the thread on the main forum:

quote:

Game will now load any map compiled in any version of Hammer (Full 'easy to use' SDK is still to come. Users are able to extract FGD files/sounds/models/textures at the moment, but this is complex)

Anyone know how (and willing) to break down the complexity into straight forward steps so we can get the custom map community up and running?

EDIT: thought I'd edit this seeing as so many people look at it.

If you want to create maps, read the SDK.pdf file located in the docs folder:
$steamuserDIR/dar messiah might and magic multi-player/docs/SDK.pdf

Providing no one else will I will write some stuff up and post it tomorrow

Cheers god. I mean Mana.

I thought there was on older version of Hammer for Hl2 available on the web. So far all I could find was for Hl1.

Seems you can only map now if you have the HL2 SDK.

Do you have the SDK?

Guys, just go get steam at www.steampowered.com, go to the "tools" tab, right click and install source sdk. it's 100% free. Oh, and after Source SDK launches, double click hammer. that's your map making tool.

Source SDK comes with Hl2 :P

If you don't believe my try it yourself, make a new (blank) account and go to the tools tab.

I got the Source SDK. Got HL2: DM and it's free if you have that.

Mana it would seem that you are wrong for once!



I don't have Hl2 and i found source SDK in the tools tab, but, i do have Counterstrike Source and Hl : DM so maybe you get it with those too.

I meant any Hl2 mod, bleh.

Counter-Strike: Source is running of Hl2 so that fits!

That's enuff of you wasting Mana's time, he's busy writing me a tutorial.

Yeah you right he is writing US a tutorial so i shoudl leave him alone. Sorry

More like preparing for the fun night and editing L_MP3.

If you have the Hl2 SDK then try doing this, it's rather easy.

Run Source SDK. Choose Half Life 2 Deathmatch for the mod.

Run Hammer.

Once hammer loads go to tools, options and click on the game configuration tab.

Where it says Half-Life 2eathmatch click Edit and add Dark Messiah MP as a game.

From then on just point to the location of your DM install.

The FGD files are located in the CFG folder.

For the build programs use the ones that come with it. Should be fine (except don't run rad otherwise the map will crash on load, so only full bright maps for now)

Hope I did not confuse you too much?

Lol, pretty straight forward stuff. Cheers mate.

Thank-you i understand it all except what you mean by rad.

Ps. The Fun Night Was Great Especially Manaseum !

OK so i sorted out my config (i think) and when i went to file/new it said missing texture/wireframe (or something along those lines) Any idea of what to do? shall i just copy it from HL;DM or something?
Thx
This is what i got in my configuration:
(I WILL POST PICTRUES WHEN I CAN GET IMAGESHACK TO UPLOAD THEM)

Yes copy whatever is missing from Hl2.

Ok... thanks for the help but i tihnk i will stick to cs:s maps until the Dark messiah sdk comes out. Once again thanks.

oh... but id like to have some new MAPS!!!

Mana is constantly making new maps, be patient

Are these settings correct, and do I need any more information typed in?

Game Executable Directory:
C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Dark Messiah of Might and Magic

Game Directory:
C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Dark Messiah of Might and Magic

GameData Files:
C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\erfg1\dark messiah might and magic multi-player\cfg\MightAndMagic.fgd

Now when I press hammer, I can no longer go in it because it says No Game Selected. There are no games to select from the list.
