Efter den nye opdatering af steam i år 2013, så kan man ikke åbne Hammer Editor for Team-Fortress 2, Day of Defeat: Source og Counter-Strike: Source på normal vis.
Du er nødt til at følge en ny metode. Her er 10 hurtige steps:

ATTENTION - UPDATE!

Valve apparently don't care about anything in the sourcemod anymore, so you can just open the hammer.exe by the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\[GAME NAME]\bin

It works for me in following games:
Team Fortress 2
Day of Defeat: Source
Counter-Strike: Source
Half-Life: 2 (+deathmatch)
Garry's Mod

If it doesn't work for you, try out the guide below

English Guide

1. Open your Steam Library
2. Choose tools and download Source SDK
3. After the download you open your Steam Library again ( Make sure your game is closed )
4. Choose a game you want to create a map to and right click on it and choose 'Properties' ( Only tf2, dods and css )
5. Click at the tab called 'BETAS'
6. In the dropdown list you choose 'sdktools_beta - Includes files needed to make it...' and click 'Close' ( If you can't choose this one in the dropdown list then you might have to restart Steam or your Computer )
7. Now your game will download few MegaBytes
8. Go into the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\
9. Open the game folder for the game you chose ( tf2, dods, css ) and inside that folder you open the folder called 'Bin'
10. In this folder there's a file called 'hammer.exe' and when you open this file you have to choose which game you want to create a map for ( tf2, dods, css ) and after you have clicked on the game you want the map for and have clicked 'Ok' the Hammer Editor will open and you are ready to build your map.
I recommend that you create a shortcut at your desktop to open this 'hammer.exe' file

Deutsch Guide

1. Öffen Deine Steam-Bibliothek
2. Wähle "Tools" und lade Source SDK herunter.
3. Nach dem Download öffnest Du Deine Steam Bibliothek nochmals (Das Spiel muss beendet sein )
4. Wähle das Spiel, für welches Du eine neue Map kreieren willst und mache einen Rechtsklick darauf - wähle "Properties" ( nur für tf2, dods und css )
5. Klicke auf den Reiter namens "BETAS"
6. Im Dropdown-Menü kann man "sdktools_beta - Includes files needed to make it..." auswählen. ( Wenn Du das nicht auswählen kannst, dann starte Deinen Computer neu )
7. Das Spiel wird jetzt einige MB herunterladen.
8. Gehe in deinen Benutzer-Ordner C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\
9. Öffne den Spieleordner für das Spiel, welches Du ausgewählt hast ( tf2, dods, css ) und in dem Ordner öffnest Du den Ordner "Bin"
10. In diesem Ornder ist ein Dokument namens "hammer.exe" und wenn Du das öffnest, musst Du entscheiden, für welches Spiel Du eine Map erstellen willst ( tf2, dods, css ) und nachdem Du auf das Spiel geklickt hast ( für welches Du die Map erstellen möchtest - und nachdem Du auf "Ok" geklickt hast ) öffnet sich der Hammer Editor und Du kannst mit dem Erstellen der Map anfangen.

Dansk Guide

1. Åben dit Steam Bibliotek
2. Vælg "tools" og download "Source SDK"
3. Efter du har downloaded Source SDK, åben dit Steam Bibliotek igen (vær sikker på alle dine spil er lukkede)
4. Vælg et spil du vil lave et map til og højreklik på det og vælg "egenskaber" ( kun tf2, dods og css )
5. Klik på fanen "BETAS"
6. I dropdownlisten vælger du "sdktools_beta - Includes files needed to make it...' og klikker "luk" ( Hvis du ikke kan vælge dette i dropdownlisten, så er du nødt til at genstarte Steam og hvis det stadig ikke virker, så genstart din computer)
7. Nu vil dit spil downloade få MegaBytes
8. Gå ind i mappen C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\
9. Åben den mappe med navnet på det spil du vil lave en map til ( tf2, dods, css ) og inde i den mappe skulle der være en anden mappe med navnet "bin"
10. I denne mappe er der en fil med navn "hammer.exe". Når du åbner denne fil så åbner du Hammer Editor. Jeg foreslår at du laver en genvej til denne fil på dit skrivebord

I can imagine that nowadays there is more easy ways. This was just the way atm :)

[Viktor06]

goto properties and do brouse data its in ABC order you should find hammer there

[ZeNix]

It isn't copyed from another one, i am the one who wrote it on gamebanana too ;-) And yes it' so ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up, because valve doesn't care about source/orangebox anymore ;-)

[Dr. Jerkalittle]

You copy-pasted this straight off Gamebanana (sorry if you work there).
Anyway, I restarted my Steam AND my computer but it didn't do crap! The sdk still doesn't show up in BETAS!

Now I got the SDK up and opened Hammer. I tried to open up a map.It said the map may be missing visuals. Then afterwards, THE G̶A̶M̶E̶ PROGRAM CLOSES ITSELF.
SCREW IT I GIVE UP WITH THE TEN MINUTES IVE HAD WITH SOURCE THIS AND SOURCE THAT

Nice tutorial. Already knew that but will help people who get the "failed to open schema" type of error

[Zero-Day]
