Problem with hammer.

[NoodleCollie]

I'm torn between feeling that Microbrush program is intuitive and immersive, but also really awkward.

Does this give me a chance to post this again?

But yeah, c'mon Valve, we shouldn't need a dxlevel fix to have to run the program correctly.

What I have done is create a folder and named it "dxsupport.cgf" thats in "\Steam\steamapps\user\sourcesdk\bin\orangebox\bin" seemed to fix it for me

Pretty sure this does the same exact thing as -dxlevel 80, which means it also causes a lot of instability and crashes

Noooo! Don't hack a solution! Then they'll use that as an excuse to never release an official fix!

It's not a solution anyway. Hammer crashes within 30 seconds when I try that.

Update: Guys at Valve have narrowed it down to a new import process for getting items in the game. No ETA. They are working on it now. Working with them to narrow down the bugs over email.

Sweet. Now I can get the people who are asking me to get their maps done off my back

The SFM hammer works.

OFC it's missing things though, but it doesn't crash every 5 minutes.

See this thread on why not to use the SFM Hammer.

 

[Untouch]

Yes it appears to fuck your map up, don't use it.

Aaaaaaaaaaaand we're back to normal. Out of curiosity I checked the Model Viewer input bug as well, and it looks like that was resolved as well. Did you happen to mention that in your email, Yyler?

Seems to be fixed for me too, though I'm getting this on startup:

Doesn't seem to affect much.

Same here, everything works fine though so far.

awesome news! Too bad the only mapping I'll be doing tonight is on the face of a pumpkin. The only time its okay to use the carve tool...

I use the carving tool all the time, but only on square openings like doors or windows.

Usually clipping does just as good a job (if not better) with making window holes, since you can choose which direction to cut first (ie. splitting longer brush sides into two shorter sides instead of vice-versa).
