| The Hammer Editor as we know it began its development as a fork of the [[wikipedia:Quake_II_engine|'''ID Tech 2''' '''Engine''']] with the name of '''Worldcraft'''. However, after Valve adquired the rights to it, it effectually became known as the Hammer Editor. It has been used in every Valve game release excluding [https://store.steampowered.com/app/570/Dota_2/ '''Dota 2'''.]

| === Overview of the Hammer Editor ===

| An important aspect of the Hammer Editor is its useage of '''Forge Game Data (FGD's)''' which includes all of a game's data, compiler options, registered entities, etc. which will tell the engine the paths of every asset location from the game currently being modified. Along the use of FGD's, the Hammer Editor also utilizes an important file called '''gameinfo.txt''' which is in charge of stablishing the compiling tools of the Hammer Editor version being used; such as '''vvis.exe''', '''vrad.exe''', '''vbsp.exe'''.
