hammer issues

Hello TF2Maps Community, I'm encountering a problem in Hammer++ and I'm hoping someone here might have run into it before and figured it out. In Hammer++ when I press 'Ctrl+T' to convert a brush object to an entity it automatically chooses 'prop_static' for me without showing the selection...

Explanation on how I think the problem started through my file explorer, I attempted to rename a map file which opened a open with tab, I clicked back on my file explorer but it was already to late. Now map files wont compile correctly to the game hammer telling me "The command failed. Windows...

Ok, bear with me here. So last year I started building maps on Hammer. I added Hammer to the taskbar for easier access and always opened the editor through there. Now I have a new laptop I'm mainly using and I installed sourceSDK to open Hammer and continue editing. For some strange reason...

Essentially I've been working on getting cp_airship_race set up so I can compile it once and pack the files so it will load correctly in both versions without issue. However I've hit a major snag in the process: Every released version snapshot so far, even when recompiled using retail hammer...

In game my water functionally works but the texture for it doesn't, i know that means my map is leaking somewhere but whenever i load up the point file to tell me where it points in a direction that doesn't make any sense as that area is completely covered by walls / skybox. i would really...

I've been trying to get back into mapping, but I have been having an issue with hammer that I cannot seem to fix. Whenever I click Browse on the texture viewer, Hammer locks up, but doesn't freeze. I did some scrolling through the dropdown, and I noticed that a lot of the dev textures are...

Hammer looks like this for me right now There's a bunch of white lines there and it makes it so that I am unable add blocks or move the camera. I tried switch to the various views but that also didn't work, I'm not sure if I accidentally clicked a button but it was working a few months ago so...

I was mapping and absent-mindedly closed the select window. Is there a way to bring it back? If so, how?

I had recently made some big changes in one of my Maps that I was working on, and I saved and compiled it. However, when I loaded into the map, it retained its previous state. I tried saving it separately and compiling it again but it just said that it couldn't find the new saved version of the...

whenever i open hammer in the bin folder it shows this error steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\gameinfo.txt is missing i tried to find it in tf folder but its there ---i verify the game files ----and deleted the hl2 application file and forcing update tf2 NOTHING WORKED i...

I was in the process of fiddling around with my map when my computer screen froze up completely, with not even the mouse moving. This has happened a few times usually with Hammer open, and the only way I found out of it was holding the power button on my PC. This time, when I booted it back up...

So I haven't mapped in a while, and since the last time I did I have relocated my TF2 install location to my second drive (because my 1st is out of space). Now, my Hammer will not open because it is looking for the gameinfo.txt in my primary drive. Can you guys help me out with this? Thanks...

I should probably start this thread before, bc I'm trying to fix this issue for a week of so. So recently, I ended work on new version of my medieval harvest. In hammer, there are no problems, I did nescessery optimization, checked alt+p and everything. In compile log there were no big...
