A map tester game. - Developers

Wouldn't it be good if there was a mod for Hl2 that was made especially for hammer? it would load quickly and go strait to the map. it would work with the run game option in hammer. and you could test it from there. i wish valve incorporated something like this in a hammer update.

They should make a simplified version of GMod like this, without addons and crap that slow it down.

Start the game with the -windowed and -map parameters.

Yes that would be nice

I just use EP2. After it has initially loaded, loading maps is quite fast. Just remember to keep it running in the background when you're mapping, then switch back after compiling to changelevel and test your map.

I use an empty version of gmod. Starts up incredibly fast and i can place props with it to see how it would look with them.

didn't there used to be a "export to hammer" option?

I use "-windowed -novid -console" for HL2.

The SDK Bases work well for this purpose. They are the core engine with no extra crap bogging them down pretty much.
