source maps

[Con]

do they have to be made in hammer?

[Rentafence]

yup. I think you can split your level up in max into separate pieces and make the level into scenery like you would with unreal though

[Terin]

It relies pretty heavily on entities placed and assigned in Hammer, so I doubt that's something you could do in 3ds max. And even if you could import bare-bone geometry, I doubt Hammer would play nicely with plane-based levels.

[StankBacon]

yah and it sucks, i wish you could make them in 3ds :(

I've watched some videos on Hammer, and all it looks like is making boxes and modifying them :\

For the most basic of maps, that's all there is to it, pretty much.
