Problem with hammer.

[soylent robot]

i guess its looking like this for you guys too?

i cant zoom out too far on the 2d windows and i have these massive shiny things in the 3d view

You're lucky, atm it looks even worse for me
Try loading something like Granary . _.

O.O

My 2d views don't show anything.
my 3d view works, but none of the tools show anything (like what i have selected, etc....)

I have no clue about my models....

has anyone tried deleting everything and reinstalling? Is that even possible?

Those massive shiny things are control point props. Apparently, the props do not vanish, but instead grows to enormous size, like if they were in some sort of skybox.

It doesn't even come from the SDK itself ... but from TF2. Only. Apparently a new model format

Refer to my earlier post, guys.

It seems elsewhere on the internet they are having the same problem.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, no use.
It looks like we're going to have to wait for a fix from Valve. :S

 

[Burnout6010]

There's a new update ! Can someone look if thr SDK is fixed ? I know the change log doesn't mention anything

 

[Ælement]

nope

it's still shit

 

[tyler]

New update is for Linux servers mostly.

Hammer has got to be one of the most used, long-running programs that has never ever been stable and near-always featuring critical bugs that make no sense.
People just put up with it, it's just "hammer doing its thing, again".

In other cases, there's always 1 dude (or a team of dudes) who gets so sick of it they eventually make their own replacement for the program, which somehow hasn't happened yet with Hammer, I am quite surprised.

(Back in the day you downloaded custom vbsp, vvis, vrad exe files though, that people had made/modified)

 

[Freyja]

I'm quite surprised no one ever made a custom hammer either. VMF's are very easy to understand, and the compiling could easily be done through valve's exe's.

First they made hammer destroy game logic.

Then they made the c h and u keys stop working in the model selector.

Then they made all models stop displaying.

Oh boy oh boy.

and if you guys didn't know, there's also this weird crash with custom overlays and sv_pure 2. it makes testing maps on our server quite irritating http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5181650/crashreport.pdf

 

[tyler]

let's also not forget displacement lighting

 

[fubarFX]

you know valve, if you don't want us to make maps, you can just say so. there's really no need to sabotage everything

 

[tyler]

You'll all be pleased to know I emailed the TF team and Tony Paloma CCed me on his own email to the rest of the team. They seem to be aware of the issue and are working on it. No ETA given.

 

[PHISH]

awesome, thank you for doing that! It's never clear where we're supposed to report these issues when they happen...

 

[Shanghai]

Until then, let's just sit around here and twiddle our thumbs. We now have a new problem on our hands: what to do as a mapping community that can't map.

 

[tyler]

Learn to model!

What did his email say? Just mentioning the issues?
