You'll need both of these.

1. Extract the contents of 'mm_sdk_sp.7z' using 7-Zip. It should contain two Game Cache Files.

2. With GCFScape installed, double-click a Game Cache File to open it. In the window that appears, select all folders and extract them to: Steam\steamapps\common\dark messiah might and magic singleplayer

3. https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Dark_Messiah:_Single-Player_Level_Creation Go to this site, skip to "Extracting the Dark Messiah VPKS" and complete that step and the "Configuring the Hammer editor" step

4. go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dark Messiah Might and Magic Single Player\platform\Resource and copy everything with mdl in front of it (example mdlpicker)

5. Paste it into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dark Messiah Might and Magic Single Player\mm\resource

6. Launch hammer, and enjoy.

If there is any problems with hammer, please ask me. I got it working. I may of missed a few steps on here as i spent a month figuring this all out.

Also, if you find out how to do stuff like skill point triggers or any other interesting thing, comment on my profile. I'll be adding tutorials on how to do stuff in the editor for MM here.

Remember, place a info_node on ground where npcs will be. Without it, when enemys fall over, they die instantly.

Ryan:
I discovered a solution to the white texture problem with displacements. To fix, all mentions of "envmap" and "normalmapalphaenvmapmask" inside the materials' .vmt files should be commented out. That is, the lines should be prefixed with "//" (without the quotes).
