Hey guys. I installed hammer onto my flash drive so i can map on break at uni and such. The configuration files are good and everything, but every time i open hammer on a computer (including my own at home) Everything is stored save for the wad location.
Granted i have the wads in an easy to find location in my flash drive, but it's becoming quite annoying to keep having to go to the options and select the wads, restart hammer, and THEN start mapping.
Does this have anything to do with the config file or wad location or anything? If you guys don't have an answer, no worries it's just an annoyance.
Hammer configuration.

Hammer saves and loads the location of the curently in use wad files in the Windows Register.
The location is:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Valve Hammer Editor\General]
Im not sure if this'll work, but if you export these reg keys and save the .reg file on your flash drive, and then each time you want to map, simply import that reg file into the register on the machine you're using.
Like i said, this may work or it may not, since Hammer is not officially installed on a given machine.
Also, note that exporting these settings on an XP machine and importing them on a Vista or any other OS machine, may not work.
Best to try it out. If you cause damage, don't look at me.

But i run the editor off the flash drive, not a given computer..
So does it still try to read the registry? Even if i boot off a flash drive

If you want an easy way to save and load your texture list, yes.
(Exportera = Export & Registereditorn = Registry Editor)
Every time you want to load the texture list into Hammer run the .reg file you just created.

There's something called Thinstall, which I know simulates a registry on the disk. But, I've never used it to make an app, so I don't know how effective it'll be. Give it a try if you want.

Sweet. Thanks for the info guys. I'll give it a try tomorrow. I would do it right now, but i'm on my Girl's iPhone, and i'm about to go to bed.
