if you look at the bottom of the 2nd page of that discussion it says they're files for the beta version of Hammerwatch apparently.

.hbm are maps created on the beta while the game was still being developed. the map format was changed a short while before it was released.

there is no way to play the old .hbms on the full release unless the map creators update their maps.
