Source SDK Bugs

This page is for bug documentation in the SDK beta. Note: This currently is pre-official, so it's likely Valve is aware of many of these already.

Hammer

• Model viewer currently loads it's GUI incorrectly the first time; on close and re-open, it functions as expected.

• Some people are complaining about losing their cursor, unfortunatly no more information than that.

Cursor is lost over the model viewer after clicking in the filter text-box.

Workaround: Restart Hammer.

• If you roll-back from the beta Hammer will be missing. You may need to use GcfScape.

• Arrow-key movement broken on 2D grid views, viewport goes black.
  • Arrow-key movement is broken specifically when the Vertex tool is active.

Workaround: Hold Spacebar and drag mouse.

• Hammer crashes when trying to load a map or make a new file.

Needs more information than that, what are your system specs + software running at the time of crash.

A64 3200+ @ 2309 Mhz, 2x512MB PQI PC3200 DDR, Gigabyte Radeon 9600 (np) 128/128mb, Omega 2.6.75a Drivers, Win XP SP2, I'll try new drivers now and restart...

Make sure you clean the drivers out properly.

Okay, it's fine now... I made a mistake before, I accidentally opened Steam withOUT the -beta sdk parameters... hence the problems.

• npc_* > Properties > Model > Dropdown is not filtered.

• Selection of a Displacement only considers the original box it was made from

• Brush skewing ignores Snap-to-grid.

• Brush rotating defaults to 15 degrees, regardless of settings.

Workaround: Use the Transformation Dialog (Ctrl-M)

• Cloning a brush using shift results in the new brush being off-grid.

A result of the fact that you can now drag selections by the midpoints of their sides, not just their corners. If the selection is not a multiple of twice the grid size when dragged, its sides won't match up with the grid.

• After mere minutes of use, Hammer takes up almost 500mb of RAM. Memory leak?
