To be able to test your map directly from Hammer++ you should be able to launch Godot Engine via CMD.

How? There're a two ways

1. Add the engine into the environment variable PATH
2. Install Godot Engine via Scoop package manager in case you use Windows or Homebrew for MacOS

Clone this repo and open the project in Godot to precache all imports. You also can open the project via terminal:

cd <your-project-path>
