Fooked Hammer?

[-Psy-]

Hm...when ever I modifiy a shape (using the vertex tool) in Hammer and save then reload the file, the shape is totally screwed up o.0 The vertexes are in places that I did'nt move them to...What can I do to fix this?

Move the vertices correctly when you edit them. You probably made an invalid shape such as a concave brush. Don't try to do fancy things with millions of sides, use more than one brushes instead and stick em together (and make them func_detail).

How do you stick them together?

 

[Psycho[BE]]

just select the different brushes and go to the menu tools en then click on group or if you are gonna make it a func_detail just select them all and tie to entity.(sorry for the bad english)

 

[Ti133700N]

Grouping affect brushes in Hammer only, there are no functions to join brushes, just put them very close together.

But that doesn't solve my problem =X I still get distorted shapes when I re-open the file

What kind of weird shapes are you trying to make with the vertex tool?

An arch like this;

Like this?

That stays up for 14 days.

Incredibly helpful but doesn't solve my Hammer bug..

I don't think Hammer correcting nonconvex solids is quite a bug... PEBKAC, maybe

 

[-Psy-]

How would it? I already re-installed Hammer more then once and no success =/

I have 1gb ram, Radeon 9600Xt and a AMD 3.2ghz. :S

Once again... I don't think it's a bug that Hammer corrects nonconvex solids given that they aren't supported in any way, shape, or form...

 

[Ti133700N]

I think he doesn't understand that he can't make non convex wierd ****ed up geometry.
PsychoFreak, post a screenshot of the shape you are trying to make in Hammer and we'll tell you what's wrong with it.

Just download Limpet's example. Trying to use 1 brush to get that kind of shape is a no-no.

Concave brushes totally **** up the vmf. All the vmf is (basically) is coordinates for brushes and entities, and when the coordinates of those vertexes become odd, it doesn't know what to do.

Ah I see what you mean...at least someone actually explained it o.0 Cheers
