I'm suddenly haveing problems with sprites not being visable in the 3D view. The only config change I've made recently is the fgd update to make  models apear in hammer 3.5b, but this did not at the time chause any problems. has anyone had experience with this problem?

i believe ive heard of a few others having problems with v3.5 not showing the placer sprites, might want to double check your fgd to see that it resources to the correct sprites. i cant remeber the command line, but if you do a simple forums search i saw resently someone post the needed line for the placer sprites.

Have you got sprites in the right folders where they need to be as WC can't look inside PAK files and the like..?

Yup, I've got the whole pak file expanded. I've never had a problem with this before. I did recently update my fgd, but at the time I could still view sprites, so don't think that is the cause either. [addsig]

I think you should go back to 3.4 untill 3.5 is out, not the beta [addsig]

i resently used 3.5 and i didnt see any changes to it, i would also suggest using 3.4 until 3.5 is non beta form. [addsig]

just to clarify, hammer3.4 can and does display placer sprites in 3d view, inorder to get entities to display a custom placer sprite inplace of the ugly looking blocks, you simply need to edit your fgd file. look for the "entities" section, and for each entity you'll want to add this: iconsprite("hammer/sprites/modfolder/spritename.spr")

Example: @pointclass base(target name) iconsprite("sprites/CS/Ambientgeneric.spr")= ambient generic : "Universal Ambient" ... and the rest is simply getting that dir "hammer/sprites/modfolder" filled with the targeted sprites.
