Hammer only loaded brushes?!

I just opened up my map, and everything that's not a brush didn't show up. Brush-based entities are showing up, but they're just showing up as brushes with properties, not entities. Please help :O

-.- I hate Hammer. So much. At least I haven't done much work yet, or else I'd be pretty pissed.

Hmm, wait. In my messages thingy in Hammer, it says "Removed 11 object groups with no children"

There is a solution, you've just got a corrupt save file. Go ahead and hit open in hammer. In the open type text box area type "[yourmapname_withanyunderscores]".vmx Hammer saves two copies of you map every time you save, one as a vmf and one as a vmx, they are the same thing just with a different extension. After you save it again it will turn back into a .vmf and you can continue on your marry way as if nothing happened. If that doesn't work you can look for n autosave version under C:/hammerautosaves (or something like that)
Hope that helps

Did you check if your visgroups were messed up?

Well, I tried the autosaves, but Hammer, in its infinite usefulness, made its last autosave on June 8, when I hadn't even built anything. As for the vmx file, it was missing all non-brushes too. I just deleted all my remaining entities and model-related clippings. Time to start them over... -.-

EDIT: NOPE, NOT EVEN TIME TO START OVER. Right after I started editing the map again, Hammer decided it wanted to crash because I resized an areaportal. God dammit, I hate Hammer. I'm going to go play TF2 :<
