Source 2 to Source 1

[jerry]

I know i sound stupid, but i'm interested in making maps for Garrys Mod but i dont know if i should get Hammer for Source 2 because i dont know if Source 2 Hammer will work in Source 1 games like Gmod or TF2. If i cant, can someone send me a hammer editor that i can actually use and make maps in one window like Blender or Roblox. Also i hate the source 1 hammer editor. Just adding that.

I hate the editor too. Still trying to make a map in the style of bohhh and zuhhh though.

Source 2 maps won't work with Source 1, but if you have L4D1 you can port a Source 2 vmf to Source 1 using the L4D1 version of Hammer. Citation:

I dont have L4D1 but i do have L4D2. Does L4D2 have the same Hammer Editor as L4D1?

No, it uses the Source 2 editor. L4D1's Hammer is unique it seems. (For the record, I don't have L4D1 either)

Do i need to pirate l4d1 for the hammer editor?

Would be better to just buy it, really.
