Sorry to ask a noobish question like this but I couldn't find any answer or guide that would show me what to do.

I'm just starting mapping and I have downloaded Hammer (3.4). I am going to make only Portal levels with it and I don't know how to put the textures to it. I have seen some guides but I just haven't understood them. Can someone maybe post a screenshot or something to show me exactly how the Configure Valve Hammer Editor-window needs to be?

My english is bad (think so) because I'm from Finland and I'm just 13.

I already checked all those sites (and read that post you linked) but I didn't find any clear guide. If anyone knows one, can you link? : /

Sorry really

Go to the tools-tab in your steam window, and download the Source SDK Base, the Source SDK Base - Orange box and the Source SDK, and then launch the Source SDK. In the window that pops up, select the Orange Box as engine version and Portal as game, double-click 'Hammertool' and you're ready to go.

This is a far better way to get Hammer set up than manual download.
