I swear hammer makes me wanna cry at least once everytime I use it. Valve has done both good and bad jobs updating it and fixing bugs. The worst is when the program crashes for no reason, right before you were about to save. :o

So I figured I would make a list of stuff I have found that makes HAMMER crash...

! PROPERTIES BOX CRASH - If you have a map open with any number of objects selected and you have opened their properties (alt+enter), if you CLOSE the map BEFORE you close the properties box when you go to close the properties box HAMMER crashes.

! DISPLACEMENT CRASH - If you have a map with displacements and you have the edit displacement box open (shift+a ---->Displacements tab ---->paint geometry/alpha), and you CLOSE the map BEFORE you close the edit box, HAMMER dies when you go to close the edit box.

hmm. Hope that makes sense? I will add more as I find them.

So I suspect that a stable map creation tool is still a figment of our imaginations.

Althou StarCraft had a really stable map maker. (even if it was only because it was so bloody simple)

You know it was the best, admit it!

When drunk and can't aim for your life, trust the crowbar.



OMG LOOK AT THE AWESOME HL PROGRESS!

actually using prefab stairs is probably a good shortcut.  i use them on all my maps and i'm sure so do most people.  but the carving tool can piss off hammer sometimes.  especially when you use it on its own prefab shit.  i have done it before, but trust me, some of the stuff that i do is just because i want to beat hammer and prove that i can do it.  not because it really has to be done.  i really hate loosing battles to computers, it pisses me off and i probably waste more time then needed just to make sure that i can do it.
