converting vfm to BSP

[lordoftheroot]

Ok i am a n00b to hammer and level making all together but i was able to make a map for HL2: DM and i wanted to try it out. well when i compile the map it was compiled into the VFM format and HL2: DM reads the BSP Format. So i was wondering how to compile my map into the BSP format. thanks

You need to go to RUN and then set up some stuff. Read the manual.

The map editor creates VMF files. Compile the map, and it will create a BSP file. HL2 reads BSPs.

So, to convert VMF->BSP, just open the VMF in Hammer and compile it. The compiler will tell you where it wrote the bsp.

Sorry about that I had my BSP files being compiled into the wrong file. thank you though i now know a little more of how Hammer really works.
