When i am making my map, hammer decides that after i have edited a brush, it will randomly stop and end up somewhere else.

It can't be my specs, athlone xp 2500, gf4 mx440, 512 pc2700

It even does this in flatview :S

help appreciated

Could be anything, in some of my cases my map is too big in the 2D views so I have to scroll/zoom in a lot to get Hammer to respond fast enough for my tastes. If this happens from a fresh small map then my suggestion means nothing. If your map is large though, try zooming in on all your 2D views so that it doesn't have to render so much on your screen at once. [addsig]

What is it that is "stopping and end(ing) up somewhere else"? Is it your 3D view, your mouse pointer, the 2D views, or something else?

Sounds like a dodgy mousewheel. Mine used to do it sometimes.

It could be a fiew things: (not sure though, just theories)

Make sure you have "center on camera after movement in 3d". Even though it doesn't sound like you're moving your 3d camera 1 second after you spawn an object, just check it anyway. Gotta check anything when trouble shooting

Two things: When you say "stop", do you mean, hammer freezes up on you? (a,la stops responding, then responds normally after a few seconds), or, that hammer freezes, AND your position in the 2d Camera moves?

Check this as well - Do you have any other version of WC / Hammer on your hardrive? They might conflict with each other (I'm not sure... Hammer and WC ARE beta, and aren't the most stable editing tools I've ever seen). I think Hammer itself isn't the most stable of the WC series.

You say hammer. What version? Beta 3.5? ~beta~ or are you using 3.4?

There may not be a solution. WC 2.1's 3d corrupted for absolutely no reason for me -- and the damage was permanent. Hammer seemed to crash every time I finished compiling a map. Happened all the time.

If all else fails, try another veresion of WC/VHE. : I hope this helps ya m'ioght. Doubt I'm right, just trying to shed some light.

wasn't too clear, hammer 3.4, and its in the 3d view that this happens, i try and go forward in 3d view, but it will stop, and then end up on the other side :S

The Map is quite big.

This usually just happens, after i've saved my map, and for a few seconds. Then it will go back to normal. [addsig]

Try lowering the number of undo levels or the 'back clipping plane' level (in Hammer options), though my lower-spec computer doesn't have a problem with really high settings. Try upgrading to 3.5 if that doesn't help.

smiley Now hammer won't even open up my map in 3.4, it also crashes.

I might as well start a map for HL2.

un-install hammer>run spybot>run regclean>reboot>re-install hammer.

if this fails, try loading another rmf.

I used to have lag problems in hammer whenever I tried to edit the snarkpitcrewmap. My only solution was to hide like 75 of the map that I wasn't bothering with at the time. Then I got a new computer and haven't had a problem since. I'd think you're using a crappy computer that can't handle your huge map. (and by crappy, I'm saying around p3 650, 256mg ram, geforce1)

You definately installed 3.5 beta right yes? You know it has to be installed over the top of 3.4, by just replacing the old .exe with the new?

I'm sure you did that, but its worth checking If you want you can send me the rmf and I'll try loading it on my computer, to see if its just something at your end.
