Hammer Not Loading

Right i have all of my configs perfect but whenever i try to ope open start a new map it crashes my whole comp half way thru PLease help

Hmmm you need to be a bit more specific about that, have you got to many programs running already?

left then...maybe a vid card problem....can you remember any previous installation changes, something that might overwrite your settings? error messages that were strange recently? have you seen gremlins??....more input please, if possible... :wink:

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

erm once i had a kernel32.ddl not found when it was there, sorted it out by doenloading again but i have already tried that and no othere programs were running at the time

a kernel error can usually be reset by restarting yer pc....i hate to say it, but its tough to discern this kind of problem without seeing it in action....any more input you could give would be helpfull...screens, etc etc etc...

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

i don't no what you mean, i have told u everything. Should i uninstall Valve and install but what will this do, i downloaded 3.5 beta and it did the same, do u think it could be a virus. Or C: Error , PLease anyone give feedback. And on the subject can u get scientists to say what u want without ricording sounds?

Check your computer for viruses. Also check to see if there are any Windows updates or repairs available. Unistall VHE and reinstall it. Thats what I recommend anyways..

[edit] there are sounds in the pak0.pak file for the grunts. So you can make basic sentence structures.

I have the same prob but I haven't tried rienstallingk

so please post help!!

I'd really like to ask that people use complete sentences when posting. This:

Should i uninstall Valve and install but what will this do, i downloaded 3.5 beta and it did the same, do u think it could be a virus.

is three sentences in one and really hard to follow.

Likewise the phrase:

whenever i try to ope open start a new map

makes no sense and states that you are both opening a map and starting a new one. These are contradictory actions! Which is it?

I have seen Hammer have crashing trouble when people's video card drivers are not properly updated. To update your drivers:

• Find out what card you have
• Go to the card manufacturer's website
• Search for new drivers, most likely involving choosing your vid card from a dropbox list

Please do not lump completely off topic "I want you to tell me everything ever about mapping" questions into this post (i.e. that scientist question)

If you're having trouble with the current release of VHE, you can find an older one, or use WorldCraft, or QuArK, or QERadiant, or whatever.

Ey there monkey boi, remember that VHE is in fact WorldCraft. Before they decided to give it a name change...

I know that perfectly well, I'm just mentioning it seperately because this thread seems to be attracting people who haven't actually mapped before and so wouldn't know that. They could find WC 3.3 if all the VHE's aren't working for them because they know now that such a tool existed.

cash car star stop raining on peoples parade.

This forum isn't for parades. It's for map editing questions.
