HAMMER 4.0 ISSUE: BRUSHTOOL IGNORES GRIDLINES

make sure you've got snap to grid on. :roll: if it already is on, try copying the whole map and pasting it into a new vmf.

press shift + w

I wanna slap valve for changing some of the keyboard shortcuts in the new hammer; ctrl-w in particular (toggles ignore groups) is as bad as it gets. Since w is used to move around in the 3D view, and ctrl is for multiple selections, I often hit both at once accidentally and turn off/on groups when I don't mean to. You wouldn't believe how angered I get at that new shortcut - if only it would allow you to turn off shortcuts you don't really use.

there are several things in the new hammer that drive me crazy:

1) if you use ctrl + m to transform something (rotation specifically) it doesnt put the object abck on the grid, it's always off by a quarter of a unit and i have to go back and fix every point if i forget to vertex manipulate-move the entire thing.

2) the clipping tool never starts where you click, its always the next unit over, moving it with the grid is a pain in the ass

3) if you use the apply texture and values, it only works once

High five.

And they STILL haven't fixed this shit. Fucking hell.

its driving me fucking crazy

Don't worry about the "apply texture and values" problem. Personally I always (well, within reason) leave my texture tool on "lift and select", and then use the right mouse button to apply the current settings to a face. This way you can reapply the same settings to as many faces as you like without losing them.

Bic-Ball says what we're all thinking.

Why, Valve, why?

there are large chunks of my hair missing

lets turn this into a hammer problem thread

heres another:

when you go to select the type of primatave brush you want to make, if you click on the name and not the arrow it lets you type stuff in instead of dropping down the box, who the hell would type it in, give me a freaking drop down box

and another

the new way the textures are handled where it has the directory name in it pisses me off becuase im a heavy user of the replace tool, i used to be able to type clip and it would select all of the clip brushes and i could hide them, now ive got to brows, type clip, select the clip i want, and then do it :\

1- Only happens to me when at the finest grid

2- Only happens to me when at the finest grid too

3- Not sure what you exacly mean but I never had problems applying textures to a brush with the same settings as the selected face.

Some of the shotcuts can be anoying indeed, I often loose the snap to grid.

1.) [Blocked Image: http://www.zeroproof.com/bicball/rotategrid.jpg]

moving it wont fix it; in some cases ctrl + b will fix it, but not always.

2.) duh

3.) lift + select a face, go to apply texture + values, click a face, click a second face. the second face wont get the values

you have rotate mode enabled...

Bic - I already offered a fix to your last problem, just right click on a face when you are still on "lift and select" and it will apply the settings and texture rather than lift them.
