Breakable Glass not appearing ingame

So I decided to fire up Hammer to make some little dittys to play with
bots, and I can't get me glass to work. I did it from memory,
then redid it from Leps tutorial, neither of which worked. The
glass just doesn't show up, there is noting where I put it. There
are no leaks in the map, and I used the texture Lep said would work, so
I don't know what's going on...

Any suggestions are appreciated.

On a side note, every time I compile and run the game, when I quit the
game Hammer "experiences problems and needs to close"... any ideas?

hammer closing if it's been open at the same time as hl2, is a bug that was intruduced with the same update that inverted the blend textures in hammer.

the -beta sdk deals with the hammer closing issue, but introduces some new ones. :/

it's impossible to say what the problem is with your glass, because you don't say how you made it, or even what mod it's for. the mod may not be important, but i'm under the impression that cs has different possibilities than hl2dm. i could be wrong about that though. you only left some clues, so that anyone interested enough could track down Lep's tut, and try to guess where you may have gone wrong.

here, try comparing the tut you used with a different tut.

It's for CS:S, and here's what I did;

Clipped a wall for the glass, and narrowed my clip part and covered it in nodraw.

Then I applied the office/wndwb (i think that's the name) texture that Lep said to one face.

I then made the block a func_breakable_surf and made all the properties relating to material glass.

That's it really, and I can't see the problem. Following the
other tut I didn't add a cubemap, but I know I didn't have one before
when the glass worked (month or two ago). I'm going to go back
and use the texture that was used in the HL2world tut and get back to
you.

EDIT: Nope, no luck. This is frustrating...

are you sure there is no leak? it can be hard to spot in the compile log. try and load the pointfile in hammer. if it can't find one, then you know for certain it's leak-free.

I'm not seeing a leak, and I can't find a pointfile to load.

I haven't read the tut you mentioned, but did it say
anything about using the nodraw texture on all of the window's faces minus one? This might be the problem.

Yeah, I did that. Anyways, the problem is fixed even though I don't know what wasn't working.
