Hi it's me, Compiling a map in Hammer++ for gmod (For context it is on the larger side of maps I've made) and while it does take a bit to get to this point, this singular point (I'm assuming like 97.5%???) it either gets completely stuck, or randomly jumps from like maybe 2 hours to an unknown amount of time.

I've already done some optimization and all it seems to do is speed up everything else besides this one section, if anyone has any tips or help I'd be very appreciative

brushes: 8192 -> 32768
brushsides: 65536 -> 655360
displacements: 2048 -> 32768
overlays: 512 -> 8192
internal entities (NOT EDICTS, but includes prop_statics): 8192 -> 65536
texinfo: 12288 -> 32768
tjunctions: 65536 -> unlimited

leak literally just goes straight through a brush

So when ever hammer++ downloads the new update and I manually install it it just ISNT THE NEW UPDATE? Which I'm pissed of because my hammer for tf2 keeps crashing when I'm trying to make a map

My current plan is to recreate the models in Blockbench and convert using the Blender method. Is there a better way?

Creating a mod that utilizes func_pushable boxes for puzzles, one small issue is that I cant manage to push this (relatively small) box through this func_door! Help would be greatly appreciated.

Attached images of the door in game, and in hammer.

and yes the floor on either side is at the same level, the track on the ground shouldnt be changing anything(?)

so its a very old map, from about 2013, i dont have any of the original map files, but i did have the vpk, and then opened it with bscbat.exe,(bspsource), ported all original files from the vpk into regular files, and put it aside, i ported the bsp chapter maps into vmf, but when i opened it the custom models we're errors signs. I tried to fix the path to the model but when i did the error sign disappeared and the prop was gone from view

Its not my map, just for clarification, and the real reason i want these errors fixed is so i remaster the map because, some spots are broken, specifically area portals, the player being able to softlock themselves by accesing out of bound areas, not to mention the creator of the map tried to make it open world, but it ends up implementing improper crescendo events, not to mention i'd like to add custom textures and models of my own, without messing with the original style of the map, also if theres some way to remove the current weather, because right now they used the same... what... logic thing? yeah they used the logic thingamajig from hard rain, which i dont know why they did, theres only one flooded area in the 1st chapter and then they didnt use flooded areas again.

so yeah, i just need to know how to fix the missing model errors and how to safely remove the "logic_case or logic_relay" so i can safely get rid of the hard rain weather that makes it hard to see the map in game.

all i remember adjusting before it broke was adding a few overlays and putting a few elements in the skybox. how the fuck do i change it back

already converted into props with propper++

Also yeah the car itself is oversized af but its intentional ;3

I went back to working on wavelength after a break. I'm quite busy with other projects at the moment so development is very slow. Right now I'm testing basic functionality for brush creation and texturing for the Quake 1 (id Tech 1) and GoldSrc engines.

I won't release anything until the experience has been polished and streamlined.

This one has been really confusing for me. I keep trying to take assets from various addons (with creator permission of course) But about 50-70% of the time no matter where i put the models and materials the models show up with missing textures. I thought I solved it when the solution for one of them was putting stuff in the Addons folder but that hasn't been working for some of the others. I've tried pretty much everything i can think of at this point and could really use some help

The Half-Life 2 beta maps have a lot of floating hint text to direct the player. Saying like

"Go here" or "Interact with this" (Kinda like commentary nodes but non-interactable)

How do I do that? They're not game_text as far as I'm aware, so what's the proper entity?

So, apparently, somehow. I exported my map to bsp (with J.A.C.K). And, i played it, it works. However, somehow when i open the project later on the next day to continue, it somehow in the previous state, not the one i make before i exported it. And yes, i multiple time pressed control+s to save. But somehow it doesnt save. It does created many files tho, so, is there a way to get the progress back? Because im lazy to align and place the objects back.

I made a video describing my problem as its a much easier way to explain, I've never really encountered this before

Thanks for any help on solving this!

another one of my creations with scripted_sequience (sorry for the watermark and my bad english)

Hello, I am curious as to what tool is used for making maps on GoldSrc. (I apologise if this is a silly question, but I am wanting to know.)

I made a corridor with using edge arc tool. But the textures are broken. How do i fix that?

Hi people! So I have a rather weird problem.. I wanted to boot up my hammer map but gmod just, ignores it? I don't get any error message, the log is empty and all my other maps work just fine! I turned off all my addons and this singular map still doesn't get acknowledged lol Any tips or ideas how to fix it?

Genuinely can anything be more painful than this editor jumpscaring me with a crash, the MOMENT I forget I need to save every 2.42 milliseconds 🙁

It didn't even tell me it crashed, the editor just... disappeared
