You can pan around any of the 2D viewports by holding the spacebar and dragging with the mouse.Early Worldcraft isn't without mouselook or other such functions, though the way you utilize them is different from later versions. The biggest changes between early (pre-2.1) and more modern versions of Worldcraft that are likely to trip up newcomers are the ways you maneuver around each viewport. Hammer 4.0 and later are required to map for Source games and are available with the games themselves, in their bin directory.
These downloads don't require installation, though the 1.x versions expect to be run from C:\Program Files\Worldcraft or they'll otherwise work improperly. All of these versions are meant to work with Quake, Quake II, and GoldSrc games, and versions supported are listed with each individual version. This page will serve as the hub for any versions of Worldcraft/Hammer we happen to come across.

You might better know it as the Valve Hammer Editor, which is included with both the Half-Life SDK and Source SDK. Worldcraft is one of the first notable level editors for Quake-based games. is a much newer, faster, 64-bit editor that functions near-identically to Worldcraft/Hammer. While still perfectly functional, these old versions simply aren't as efficient as newer alternatives that have cropped up since their release. These versions of Worldcraft serve more as historical curiosities than usable level editors.
