Configuring Hammer for Half Life 2

[Die Hard!]

Hello all,

I've been mapping for Q3 for over four years but I'm getting a bit tired of the engine so I want to try to make mods for Half Life 2 for a while.

Now I'm trying to configure the Hammer editor for Half Life 2 but when i try to add a fgd it only gives the halflife.fgd file (in .../Hammer/fgd/half-life) I own an original copy of the game but I can't find the halflife2.fgd anywhere.

Can someone help me out? I'm a bit lost.

Which version of Hammer are you using? To make maps for HL2 you must use the one in SourceSDK (in Tools). There is no configuration needed.

I'm using version 3.4 of Hammer.

As I said, you have to use the version included in the SourceSDK. You will find it in Tools, in Steam. It's about... 800MB of download, includes everything you need to start modding, including the source code and example maps, models, etc.
The current version of Hammer is 4.1.4037
