IRC in these last few minutes:

[19:21] <@Raeven0> Anyway, there's very little of consequence here
[19:21] <@Raeven0> It's a big update, but not an important one
[19:22] <@Raeven0> If it comes with an updated codebase, though, hooray for me

[19:37] <@Raeven0> Uh-huh...
[19:38] <@Raeven0> So the SDK attempts to create configurations for every mod
[19:38] <@Raeven0> And if there's a mod that it can't make a configuration for... it crashes
[19:38] <@Raeven0> Where does this make sense?

[19:41] <@Raeven0> In any case, even if there weren't a gameinfo.txt, that wouldn't be an excuse to crash the SDK
[19:41] <@Raeven0> Just skip the Goddamn mod

Needless to say, I am not well pleased.

On the positive side, I've just finished looking through the new FGDs, and there are a lot of new entities and properties. I'll have to delay updated FGDs a while longer.

Bout time, woo!

Ok, so I tried to create and Zombine and it just comes up with error.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

Weird - Hammer started with the new and groovy Logical view instead of 3D. Now I can't get it back

 

[PimpinPenguin]

How do you look at the Episode 1 models with model viewer because it keeps showing me half life 2 models?. Oh and yes i did select episode 1 as the current game.

 

[Asknoone]

Yeah, same problem.

 

[Mess]

you have to extract from the GCFs yourself.

[Ennui]

The model browser is a big improvement.

 

[Forceflow]

militia vmf shows blank for me, though.

 

[Przemek]

Updates, updates - but did they make the code compilable under VC2005 Express? Didn't think so

 

[Insano]

They made it clear that this update will not contain it, but the next one certainly will.

 

[Dodo]

Aah noo ! i hate updates. my perpective view is broken : /
it's black, it doens't show anything...

edit: and the model viewer crashes when you press the MDL directory.

Same thing for me, just go to: view, "go to coordinates", and type in "1 1 1", and it should bring you to the center point of your map. I have to do this everytime I load a map in hammer now, it's kind of annoying, but atleast now I can map again after the update. Before the models were spiked, and such.

Or just grab your camera and drop it anywhere in the other viewports.
