Hammer 4 goes crazy! :o Created 18 years ago2006-06-18 11:04:34 UTC by Madcow

I didn't do anything to get this error!
It was a normail day,, I sat in my chair and thought "MAPPING TIME! :D", so I opened hammer and got this:omg lol nub wtf?
What's this?
Also, if I try making a new map or open an old map, it says "Material: Hammer gird" could not be found (or something like that).
I've tried to do the following things to fix the problem:
*Refresh SDK content
*Refresh and delete local content
*Manually delete both sourceSDK and SourceSDK_content files in steam user folder

Nothing works.
Please don't tell me to reinstal steam, cuz it sucks!

Thanks!

Pwned!

[EDIT]

Nhaa sorry... But I don't know what can cause the problem.

heh, hope your not on dialup, try right-clicking on the source sdk going to properties, thought they added a defrag thing/check game cache in one of the updates?

what did you break this time?!

ermm.... restart your computer?

Lol, I've had the problem for a week or two, so I've restarted my computer quite some times.

Edit: Model-viewer works, seems like Hammer is the only one with problem?
*tries to launch faceposer

[SMALL BUMP!]

Ok, faceposer works, modelviewer works, but hammer doesn't.
Is there noone else with this problem?

delete the sourcesdk folder in your steamapps/<username> directory, refresh local content and try again

Reinstall hammer?

Pfft from experience sometimes re-installing does shit all...Do try it Madcow but in my opinion you may and this is a big 'may' have to reinstall Steam...I remember getting that error for Steam and nothing fixed it...

But I'm guessing Hammer is the only problem so re-install and tell us how it went.

If you mean re-instal hammer and Source SDK I've done that 5 times,
I'll try what penguinboy said, and if that doesn't work I'll reinstal steam

Make a shortcut to hammer, and put -dxlevel 80.

Others have had bugs with hammer and this fixed them.

DK: Didn't work, same old error

Hmmm I don't know if it will work for this but it did for all of my problems, delete clientregestry.blob

But make a backup first. just in case it stuffs up.

do you hammer 3.5 on there? try loading that if so....

Tried that, didn't work. >_<

Alex: I'm confused

Hehe, I think he thinks that you're trying to map for HL1 or something. Seeing as that's all he maps for, I can't see how he could have any tips on fixing this... Much like me.

My friend has same error...He re-installed etc...

I told him to wait till Valve do something.

I told him to wait till Valve do something.

So You mean that he re-instaled, but he still got the error?

When I had a hammer problem way back, it wasn't something wrong with hammer, it was actually a bad harddrive, believe it or not. But since the problem is isolated I doubt that that's the cause. Try doing a system restore to before the problem.

He said Steam loads but Hammer and any HL2 related games don't work...They just load but nothing happens.

Valve I commend you.

Anyway I for one am not receiving any problems...Again I must be on Valve's good side or something. (...Maybe it was the fact that I convinced people to buy HL2EP1)

Everything works fine,, exept hammer.
So, my HL2 related games works fine

The one who makes the best map winns!

I might just crash your hammer like the last time!

More than a coincidence habboi? ;D

Hey I said "wins" not "winns" Pfft liar

Try going into your C:Program FilesSteamSteamAppsyoursteamnamecounter-strike or half-life etc. and then delete a file that its name is this or something like this --------->steam_103377_2004_11_5. It worked for me!
Good Luck!
