You should avoid the 3D Lighting Preview feature in Hammer (unless you really like crashes). In fact, I'm going to get rid of it until it works.
It will show back up when it's ready. No official ETA. -Mike -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Benjamin Davison Sent: Sunday, August 06, 2006 3:02 AM To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Source SDK Update Is Released - the patch file -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Has anybody worked out the new toolsframework? At the moment it seems to me like it is some kind of movie recorder. Also Valve seems to be doing lots of work around threading at the moment. Oh yeah, not really coding related but there seems to be a couple of new features around hammer. First up there is some kind of new entity logic viewer, and secondly there seems to be a new lighting preview which just crashes hammer for me and everybody who has tried it. Any word on when this will start working? P.S. Best change ever :P // "Why don't we save this field, grandpa?" // // "You see Billy, trigger_vphysics_motion uses vPhysics to touch the player, // so if the trigger is Disabled via an input while the player is inside it, // the trigger won't get its EndTouch until the player moves.
