Source 2 Hammer Bugs

[FMPONE]

Put bugs here.

If you try to take a high resolution screenshot, the editor crashes.

Importing source 1.0 vmf maps doesn't appear to work, or is at least 64 times too small, and even in that case, the texture coordinate data seems corrupt/random

Seems that enabling Debug Mode of the Blend Painting Tool when selecting a subdivided face crashes the editor to desktop

After tying mesh to and entity, it automatically gets the trigger materials assigned and you cannot assign a different materials to it, which breaks functionality for some mesh entities such as trigger_traversal_no_teleport.

Grid snap is not respected when extruding an object by scaling an edge selection while using a custom workplane.

Hotkeys do not work if you used a different keyboard language. (For example Russian). It's funny, but in other software everything works well. Solution, change the language to English on you're keyboard

Can't you just extrude the edge a bit, then just snap move it to where you want?

I always do that by default.

Ridiculous, but not surprising from Valve. I think even CSGO was switching to American keyboard layout until last year. It's something they never cared about, and it's so basic it's infuriating.

Am I crazy or do instances disalign themselves from the grid when create instance and then you click them to edit them?

What do you mean exactly? I've always used a non-American keyboard layout and don't recall ever having any issues when playing CSGO.

But not having the option to change key binds in S2 Hammer is what annoys me most at the moment. It's especially weird since it seems like you can edit keys (the key bind options have an "apply" button).

I have Z instead of W and so when I press forward in the viewport I enable/disable  "fly toggle".

The way I use for navigating in the viewport in old Hammer unfortunately doesn't work anymore (which includes space bar, LM/RM and scroll wheel), I'm guessing because space bar has been assigned a new use.

@Squad at least with Italian layout, the keyboard would not recognise the chars assigned to our layout, so you open the chat to message and you have to know/remember that question mark is underscore for eg.

They basically always had an hard coded override of the layouts or something, which make no sense.

Oh yeah, that may have been a thing in (early days of) goldsrc CS. I remember having to learn to type qwerty on an azerty keyboard, lol.

Awesome. Thanks, Untor
