Steam 2010 - Hammer bug?

[Psy]

What the fuck? Eurgh. Can't they go one year without screwing up Hammer?! I guess this means I should get on with some modelling then...

 

[Jakkarra]

it's still pretty annoying for those of us with Alphas to wheel out.

 

[Mr Egg]

Pretty annoying indeed, I registered to this forum to ask for help about it but found this before. I guess it's a hello then =)

 

[Nutomic]

Welcome to TF2Maps

Hope they'll fix it soon...

We'll sort out an extension if the bug persists more than a day or so.

Okay, well they have today, which probably won't see anything considering they just started on it, tomorrow, which will be for testing it, and then most likely out on Monday.

Holy shit! A weekend without mapping? That is a sad thing

I guess I'l have to get started with making some videos of maps

 

[Jakkarra]

I'm still trying to fathom what caused this, it's an odd occurence, that's for sure.

Its not just hammer. There are several reports of files missing from the /tf/ directories.
I lost my custom scoreboard layout and the Spy's Fancy Dress Mod. Yet all of my custom sounds remain. WTF?

You might want to look around and make sure all the custom models and materials that you have are still there.... Why on Earth would Valve even venture into the /tf/ directories?

Yea I was wondering about that, my female scout mod was missing. I thought Valves new update had broken it, I was pissed to say the least.

 

[The Political Gamer]

The update over-road files in the tf folder destroying all the custom stuff.

 

[Shmitz]

Pretty happy I got b1 out right before the update hit!

 

[Gerbil]

Unlike Shmitz I didn't get to throw out a beta.

This sucks. I miss mapping D:

 

[Geal]

Glad to hear we'll have an extension, especially considering we might not get a fix for it for several days. Remember: NINE DAYS left in the contest!

 

[Freyja]

I've been meaning to uninstall that custom skin. Thanks for doing it for me valve!

 

[Mr. Wimples]

Well, I guess it'll give me some time to whip up some textures I've been meaning to do. I just hope the fix is soon, I'm supposed to have a portion of a map ready for testing by next weekend. -_-'

 

[AgeNt_]

They fixed it!!!!!

 

[TheTurnip]

The update tonight (119th!) fixes it, I hear!

What is this new "Manifest" thing. I dont remember it from before...

From Rickmus (Valve employee) on Steam Forums:

Manifest you can equate in similar regards to photoshop layers. They basically do instancing behind the scene, but allow you to create logical layers to place and organize however you choose. You could have a layer with just sound entities, or with one corner of a map, etc. It also allows you to easily slip up a map into chunks so that multiple people could work on sections at the same time. They are also tied into perforce, though I'm not sure if that made it out to the public release.

Manifest sounds interesting, don't see it being useful personally but I can see it being used.

Really happy right now, been meaning to start up a new project I have in mind.
