1st time using something's wrong.. Created 18 years ago2006-06-16 17:22:09 UTC by coronas

ok when i open it and follow the instuctions i go to file/new and get 1 window when it's saying i'm supposed to have 4, looks like 3 grids and a lil black box, all i get is 1 big grid PLEASE HELP!!!

Tools>Options>General make sure "use independent window configurations" isn't checked.

yes it is... i've uninstalled it and reinstalled it and its still not working...

Are you really only getting 1 window or are you getting 4 maximized widows that are overlapping each other leaving only 1 visible?

only getting one...i minus it and thats the only one..

I would think the tin would be a greater risk for ESD, which ruins computers, and could be deadly.......

view -> autosize blah blah

nope

there click on that and click on the blury picture on that site..

press ctrl-a

and in future, please link to an image, not to a php page

ctrl+a does nothing... for me at least

Weird... Shift-z maybe??

Well the problem is that the view is set to one size, you can tell because only one set of text shows up (Side X/Z) . Resizing them with Ctrl-A and the Autosize 4 Views command will fix it generally. If not, I'd guess you were playing with the save and restore state functions. (But even then, the Ctrl-A works to resize it.) I don't know what you've done, but I'd guess resetting Hammer's configuration or reinstalling will fix the issue.

also please dont triple post again

uncheck "use independant window configurations" and see if that works

WCD said that way up top

But he didn't do it did he?

Ctrl+A always works for me..

yea i've tried all of these thing including completly uninstalling it and reinstalling and without messing with any settings at all pulled up a new one and it goes fullscreen 1 window, is there mabe a dif program that i can use?

You sure you deleted all the configuration stuff when you uninstalled it?

i think so are they not in the folder with everything else???

As others have said, if you UNCHECK "Use independent window configurations", you will then get one big window with four sub-windows. However, it doesn't seem to take effect immediately; you have to close Hammer and reopen it before it takes effect.

OTOH, if you have that option CHECKED - as you currently do - you will get one window, but you can then open as many individual "New Windows" as you require from the "Windows" menu -- and set them up accordingly. (You can open new windows no matter how the "Use independent window configurations" is set, but it's not overly useful to have multiple subdivided windows, as far as I can see...)

HOLY SHIT, THANK YOU SO MUCH THAT DID IT ALL I HAD TO DO WAS OPEN A FEW LIL WINDOWS AND TOLE THEM AND I GET WHAT THEY GOT IN THE VIDEO TUTORIAL!!! SCORE!!!

now when its telling me how to make an entity i dont have any... is there something i need to get to fix this?
