Try launching the Hammer exe from the bin folder in the game you are mapping for. The green SDK launcher has been broken for some time. The grid and file structure problems should go away, but the tool still has a lot of bugs. The model viewer is glitchy, and you may find that the whole...

I am sure you will get a more complete reply, but I can give you a review of a mid range laptop I picked up recently. I am spending a lot of time in the US lately, and as a result I wanted a laptop I could use away from home. So I picked up a Lenovo Y510P in one of the Black Friday sales 3...

A decent full SDK is the only thing I care about. One would expect the new engine to be some what of an improvement over whatever we have now, so that is a given. When Valve were first pushing Source, there was a period of exciting optimism from them about creating a better base for modding than...

Nuwwy Kweznuz!

Following the collapse of THQ earlier this year the rights to Homeworld went into an auction. Gearbox Software won the auction, and announced that Homeworld 1 and 2 would recieve digital HD remakes in 2014. RPS Article...

Since the release of Spacewar in 1962 the idea of two human players performing a death defying dance of shrapnel and energy in the black emptiness of space has captivated man, woman and child in all corners of the world. Even the remotest Inuit people of northern Greenland spend 98% of their...

After dying suddenly to a single sniper round at the climax of a fairly long life I decide to run north from the beach. I pick up some vital supplies (including a woolen bobble hat and a blue pen, truly vital stuff!!!) and a few minutes later I spot four figures moving swiftly across the field...

The sad thing is that many of the really bad networking problems that the PC version had at launch were caused by a bottleneck in the server infrastructure. Game servers repeatedly got stuck trying to communicate with the central hub that handles all the player stats for the battle-log, which...

Hmm. Some things are better. The inventory is quite an improvement over ARMA2 and the new items open up a lot of possibilities. I like that most of the buildings are open now, and the map itself has a far greater number of locations and details. The zombies are a little less jerky in their...

Yeah F-Stop was such an awesome idea. If only the lubricant and protective goggles had been cheaper to mass produce.

Are you launching from the green tool menu inside steam? Because that's no longer supported. I believe there are fixes out there to make it work again, but by default the 2013 version of Hammer only works when launching the executable directly from the bin folder of the game you are using...

I think the relationship of employer to employee is merely a guise he takes in front of Gordon, and in reality the G-man is more like a single cell bacteria within the stomach of a giant frog-like creature made entirely of transitional star material. He helps protect the frog beast from invading...

I would say that Half-Life topics are more relevant to the ValveTime.net community, but that the ValveTime.net community isn't representative of the entire world. Also if the success of the Steam Machines were to ride solely on the existence of a single shooter sequel, then they better start...

If you want to consider something canon, you are free to do so in your own head. You really don't need everyone to agree with you.

After two months of submissions, two hundred approved films, and two weeks of voting, Valve have finally announced the winners of the third annual Saxxy Awards. Virtual statues of shiny austrailium have been awarded to the very best movies in four individual categories, with a fifth awarded to...

This week? Moonrise Kingdom.

Nerd inbound! The sixties episodes can be pretty inaccessible to a lot of people, especially when trying to binge them in a linear order. They come from an era when a lot of television was still treated like a disposable one-shot radio serial, rather than a lasting work. Flubbed lines and...

Which part are you having trouble with? (I know it's broken, but there are a couple of things that can be fixed)

I think Valve have enough trouble keeping the existing versions stable. If I -had- to choose one of the existing Half-Life games to get some tender loving care, it would be Half-Life 2. Not to change the graphics, but rather to clean up some of the bugs and rough edges (Such as Breen's almost...

Did they merge the games together as a single file structure like they did with HL2? I don't have them installed since the change, but I could see that causing problems with the music.
