Title: Post your errors/problems here
Post by: Mehis on August 02, 2011, 05:34:00 AM
Since people are getting more helpless and can't google the problem...
You can post errors and problems here, so you won't need to make a new topic just for that little **leaked** you won't notice.
Also, post compile log. It will help alot, us to help you.

Perfect timing... I'm trying to make something using several displacements placed together and always get an error saying "Found a displacement edge abutting multiple other edges.", and there is no need for a compile log because it just ends there...
I've looked around on google for a while and the only answer I have found is saying that a displacement face can only be touching a max of 3 other displacements, no more. At the same time, some people have said that they use several displacements together all the time and it works fine for them... So is there a way to fix that which I'm missing? (also, all the unnecessary sides on the displacement have been removed too)

Well, then we can't really do anything for you. Unless you post the map file, so we can have a look what's wrong.
You could use cordon tool, but if the map is big it's going to take awhile.

Also, if you have cliffs or anything with multiple vertical sections, you could turn them into one brush.

It's 4, but I've done it with 3, and 2 as well.

EDIT: Yay... more errors...

Now at random times when I change the texture on a bunch of grouped brushes everything on the map that is grouped ungroups, and I can't group anything anymore...
I restart hammer and it comes up with a thing saying that there was an error with 4 of the brushes, and it deletes the previous part I had been working on...
:l

Why do I get all these weird fucking errors and I never see anyone else getting these? ._.

Displacements, how do they work?

Hammer would like you to start from scratch and then fix itself just to piss you off.

BUMP

PLEASE if anyone knows any possible solution to my problems I need help badly ._..
I can't make a map with all these errors everywhere... I have remade my map and everything else a million times trying many different ways searching literally for errors for any fixes and still nothing...
I have also refreshed all my SDK content as well as reset my game configurations.
NOTHING works...

Refresh SDK Cont-

oh...

This error where shit starts ungrouping for no reason has occurred to me.
I noticed it only happens when I am in Counter-Strike: Source.

Save your map.
Close Hammer Editor.
Close Source SDK.
Close Steam.
Restart your PC.
Open Steam.
Open Source SDK.
Open Hammer Editor.
Load your map.

If shit is still ungrouped,
open the map under Episode Two and it should be fixed.

If not,
Hammer Editor is trolling.

Yea I was actually going to try it in ep2 as well, but I kind of gave up. I think I'll try it later.
Also, the ungrouping is never permanent. When ever I restart hammer it fixes, but when I do that the thing I had been working on gets removed due to errors :l.

Good luck in da future.

Solution for the displacement problem:

Delete all displacements.
Make new displacements.
