Valve Hammer Editor help?
I am making a map for Portal. It is going to be a maze. I think that if I work hard enough, it's going to come out fantastically. But I have a problem.
I download Portal from the free weekend deal. So it didn't come with Source SDK. I had to download an old, cracked version of Valve Hammer Editor. I do indeed realize that the newest version is Hammer World Editor, but I could only find Valve Hammer Editor. Anyway, on with the problem.
I'm trying to set the program up. But I can't find the following:
-
Portal texture files (.WAD) (Yes, I know that they are inside .GCF files and that I need GCFScape to get it, but I can't find the .WAD files inside any of the GCF files for source games!)
-
Portal Game Data files (.FGD) (Again, probably inside .GCF files, but again again, I can't find it!)
Thanks if you can help.

not sure if WAD's are necessary. If you are using the current version of hammer it should load the textures once you specify the gameinfo.txt directory.
as for the fgd's, mine is in /%username%/sourcesdk/bin/orangebox/bin/
seeing as you don't actually own the source sdk, it probably won't be there.
Do you know where I can download the full SDK and / or the newest version of Hammer? I was afraid I'd need the actual thing. Or maybe someone could like make a hacked account to put permission for Source SDK in it? LOL, JK, not gonna happen unless someone's super bored and feels like hacking something xD. Thanks for the help.

It's illegal to distribute the SDK without owning one of the games, and asking for pirated content is way against the forum rules. This is your one warning.
If you get a source game (Come on they are really cheap anyways) I made a thread with instructions on how to get portal's sdk working.

I didn't even have to set the paths up. So somthin' fishy is here.
By the way, your signature is too tall. Either remove the text at the top of lower the font size of your stick figure.
P.S. The map is gonna be like a really cool maze. I'm gonna put it in 2 difficulties:
Easy
Portal Pro (PP xD I'm so childish 
)
I'm also gonna make a <Holiday Name Here> map just to walk around in and listen to <Holiday Name Here> music =D
Maybe I'll base it off of the video at http://aperturescience.com/ just b/c that would be epic, LOL.
So anyway, you guys have a good day now, alright? =D
P.S.S. Hey, Whysopro?, your sig is so true. "Why live life if your not having fun ALL the time? =)" That's just TOO true, LOL.
P.S.S.S. (LOL) Who else absolutely LOVES <Holiday Name Here>? =D
