Hammer update!

Quote from Surfa

Add -dx80 to the launch options and it should fix the problem. It seems as they broke the direct 9 version of the viewports.

yea thanks, I saw this on the steam forums as well.. luckily the thing still compiles in the current state, at least I'm able to work in -dx80 mode and compile in the current "broken" mode ;o

hopefully the full fix will arrive this week...

Hopefully they'll also fix the arrow keys being broken when using the texture app tool. So frustrating being unable to change the camera angle whilst texturing.

lol, what the fuck man... You guys must really love source engine.

I'm happy to see that I don't have any problem with the update (I don't know why)

@ HP : It's probably not the source engine we love but the games it use (and personaly it's because I could not run anything before having a new cg two months ago)

Exactly. I would love to make levels in UE3 or Cryengine but there's no games under those engines that interest me or seem to have as big a fanbase as a lot of Valve games do.

We started this years ago even before HL2 was released... All I'm still using it for is to finish my current project, as soon as it's out and done with I quit Source (unless something big would happen..heh).

Dude what. Hold down space and move with your mouse, much more accurate and faster

Over 5 years of using Hammer and only now do I learn this. I bet I've accidently hit Z loads of times and thought it was just Hammer playing up.

Yeah we learn a lot of stuff even when we spent lots of years using the software.

For instance, I learned what the "hide nodraw faces" button did while I was working on a level two days ago. I never really bothered with it, but it's pretty nice.

I used the Z key thing since the Worldcraft boundled with HL1GOTY

Its one of the most intuitive parts of hammer, cant believe that you discovered it only now.

actually i wasnt kidding...

UnrealEd is like the easiest editor on earth. Maybe I guess Timesplitters had an easier editor but that hardly counts

UED has never been BSP friendly, but beyond that...

i see you were elected chairman of the committee for judging how easy editors are to use. when was this again?
