I haven't posted a poll in a while, but sure enough. I got another one:
What mapping program do you use? Classic Worldcraft or hip-hop new Hammer for the young whippersnappers.
Me=Worldcraft

It's technically Hammer 3.5 BETA. Not a final RC yet.
As for WC/Hammre, it depends for what worldcraft-editing based game I'm working with
. Swat3 doesnt like Hammer, so I have to use WC 3.3 for it, but for HL I use Hammer 3.5 Beta, model support is invaluable for making scripted_seqs.

I believe VALVe has stated that we use Hammer for HL2, I suppose we will get a new version, and obviously new FGD files. Probably a new default prefab set, maybe more primitives (spheres would be nice).

spheres would be good to create domes, instead of going through it with all the blocks.

To be precise, I use Worldcraft 3.3, so I guess I'm just one step behind, but I sdont want to wait in a line to get Hammer.

I find Hammer 3.5 too buggy for me.
I use Hammer 3.4 SnarkPit edition (read the post on snarkpit forums). It has tutorials from the snarkpit intergrated into the help file (only a few atm though.)

Hammer 3.5 is buggy right now, but only because it's a beta for now... it'll be better when it's full 3.5.

There's nothing classic about Worldcraft, it's just old and inferior.

I do most work in Hammer 3.4, but when I place prop models Hammer 3.5b does a fine job.

hip-hop new Hammer for the young whippersnappers.Actually, those who are the most experienced mappers tend to use VHE 3.5. Those who insist on using WC 2.2 and so fourth are usually the 'Young Whipper Snappers' who want to look like they are experienced mappers but actually are not.

I opened a map in Hammer 3.5 and it ruined it when I compiled it. It send the wrong .map file to the compiler and overwritten the rmf with it making me lose all my work

Yes, but if they remove teh carve tool, it will prevent noobs using it and will lower the chance of them producing crap maps slightly.

The issues with pitch, yaw and roll will obviously be resolved as soon as the next hammer update comes (eventually)

There is significance in Worldcraft! Its not buggy like Hammer apparently is.

Yes it is. It's old and people using it are needlessly hindering their ability to map.

Going back to the HL2 comments - if anyone has downloaded/played the E3 leak (pretty pointless aside from the model viewer to see how cool it all looks) you can find a new version of Hammer they're using for HL2. When you start it up they even have an MC Hammer sound clip, it's so funny

I have got the new Hammer and I opened up a HL map in it. Gordon look like 3 times the size of teh normal player start entity. But, the textures showed up fine and I could create objects. Didn't try the new compile tools though as the level probably wouldn't even work in the leaked HL2.

So you'd rather spend hours aligning textures? Well Hammer does that in less than a second. That is why mappers will use hammer. Among other improvements ofcourse.

i've found 3.5 a bit buggy. there's no editor animations for barney (at least not for me) but still good though.

Did you not read my post?
You have to enter an animation number to make Barney perform animations in Hammer. It's easier that way as the hgrunt and sci animation lists are b0rked for HD and SD models.

Hammer 3.5 Beta for me. There's nothing wrong with it, only some features are missing. Hell of a lot better than the old Worldcraft. Update already! There are compatibility issues between Hammer and Worldcraft, so if you're submitting rmf's made in Worldcraft, most people will get some sort of error opening it in Hammer. Get with the times people!

If you'd seen all of the media coverage you will understand that HL2's editor IS a new hammer. No-one has actually said that they are currently mapping for it, possibly using other 3D programs which may later enable them to convert their designs into HL2 format, whether or not this is true, I am pretty unsure, just merely speculating.

I made a hl2 map in the new hammer and the new compile tools didn't like it and it did output a playable map file but it crashed about 2 secs after running.
