Having everything in one launcher is nice, having the source 2007 code is nice. The 3D lighting preview has some major problems, only light from light_spot's renders, the quality is low, but I'd say it's usefullness is comparable to Ued4's lighting stuff. In Hammer, in both you get only a rough idea of how it will look, in Hammer you have to do a compile, in Ued4 you have to do a bake, and both take equally long I find.

Hammer seems more stable as well.

You can do chorepgraphy for ep2 now, which is nice.

lighting preview is avaible only in Orangbox based mods. what a shitload of fuck.

[rockdude86]

bugging bigtime? it doesnt even work for me... when i load up and click even a single object it crashes!!!! and its been like that for a couple of months now for me

counts for both the new beta and the ep1 version of the editor

What's the problem? I'm using it without problems here.

faces in the 3d view don't show up on some brushes and sometimes it renders several brushes ''through'' each other. pretty weird and it annoys me :S
