Hammer hates me. :( Created 14 years ago2010-06-20 13:44:07 UTC by Suparsonik

Once in a while when I open Hammer and try to do Vertex Manipulation it freezes. I used to be able to fix it from just running it off of my flashdrive but now it seems to be infected too.

It usually fixes after I close and reopen Hammer a couple times. But i just wish I knew how to fix this so Hammer doesn't do it anymore. Any ideas?

Also I have some problems with compiling also. I compiled my "part of the surprise" map and it compiles fine but the BSP refuses to run and WON HL crashes. (I checked the logs... No errors AT ALL!) I haven't tried Steam HL yet but my other map, Aquatos, has the same problem and I tested it with Steam HL. It didn't use Spirit either.

Oh god, I am getting angry with HL...

Check if you have invalid entity setup. For example, if you have a path_corner targetting itself, HL will crash on map load, though it works with other entites like a multimanager, this one can trigger itself.

Also, if you're using game_text entites, make sure you don't use double quotes ("), open and closed brackets and such characters, they will make the game crash as well.

As for your vertex manipulation issue, you're not doing anything... weird right? Sometimes Hammer crashes/locks up when you fuck up a brush beyond believe due to vertex manipulation.

Ah, I never checked for an invalid entity setup for the newer map.

You remember Aquatos though. It could run with your HL but not mine.

And with the vertex thing. It'll freeze on any shape. pube, even.

So I didn't read that wrong. And I could swear it said cube before this thread was miraculously bumped for apparently no reason. I must be losing my mind.
