So after my pc decided to die, i bought a new brand new pc, after that i needed to install everything back again. But after i've downloaded tf2 back. I opened hammer to check if it worked. Starting the program itself up wasn't the problem, but when i try to place a texuare with the block tool...

So i was trying to type in a game for a control point to link up to a door and i did not relizse the i did not click on a box and i hit keys on my board and now my hammer has lines everywhere. How do I fix this?

Hi, I am having a bit of a problem with hammer where the entity (info_player_teamspawn) is an error. I don't believe it's a major problem but it is very irritating for me to continuously seeing error outside of the game. Anyway the picture shows what's happening and I do hope I can get some help...

First of all: this question isn't about TF2 maps but instead about maps for a mod, since I don't have an account in any other mapping forum and VDC is dead AF, I thought I'd post here. Technically, it's a Hammer problem. So, I've picked up a mod I started some time ago again, but I've got a...

While making a map in hammer, if i go to far away from a prop (static) it becomes a blank box, but when i go near it again, it returns to being viewed as a prop. Is there any way I can make it so it is contantly viewed as a prop? Thanks

Well, i have my map pl_cliffedge which i am working hard on it and i want it to turn out to be one of the best payload maps out there obviously.But I have a problem which the normal compile (all on normal mode) takes a lot of hours more that 9. My friend told me that may be a case of poor...

Hey guys, I've been having an issue with a recent map I've been working on where displacements will disappear. I can create displacement brushes, but as soon as I modify the displacement, it will disappear ingame. I'm just simply using a medium-sized level 3 displacement that seems not to work...

I've been trying to port this map https://i.gyazo.com/6f9bc9370ebb963af6bdbdfcd263c4d4.mp4 to tf2 using hammer but I've got a few problems. 1. I can load the map in sfm but when i try to open it in tf2 it says it is missing or invalid. Is this because I have to export the .bsp map file in a...

When I press z to look around the map in hammer, moving the mouse a millimetre will change the viewing angle drastically. Furthermore, it only moves in one direction so I am unable to move back. Any help?

Why not let TF2MAPS have it own mascot! I got no idea for the mascot. But i thought "maybe the community could think of one...." WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?!?!?!

Hey all, I've been having this problem where the hammer input tab collapses all the tabs when I click "add..." When I click add, every thing collapses. It does this every time I click add. Is there a way I can make it permanently stay like this? : I've also verified my game cache. Also...

This map is way too bright. I want to have a dark forest map, but I have no idea how to make it darker (tried turning down light_environment brightness settings but that didn't do the job well..)

This only happens when using paint geometry tool. The spire is actually still there ( I can walk on it ) but not visible. Any fix?

I don't see anything wrong??
