Hammer Editor

Valve Hammer Editor, formerly known as Worldcraft and commonly named Hammer, is used by level designers to create new maps for games such as Team Fortress 2, Garry's Mod, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. The version of Hammer and the tools used for TF2 are included with the game install. Go to Steam\SteamApps\common\Team Fortress 2\bin, open Hammer.bat (only needed for the first time opening), and then open Hammer.exe.

Hammer++

Hammer++, or Hammerplusplus, is a community-made extensive modification of Valve's Hammer editor for the Source engine, with the premise of being a more stable, up-to-date version, with many bugfixes and several improvements present in modern level editors. Do note that this modification is community-made and not official. Although the program is generally seen as safe and trustworthy, neither Valve nor the Wiki can be held accountable for any damages it may cause to your device.
