I was working in hamer making my map emp_palace, I didn't save at all as I normally don't have any errors. I was working on a beautyfull building combining art-deco, neo-classical, italianate and victorian architecture. In a massive Palace featuring a massive main hall, Staircases, Elevators, Imperial Garden, Underground Laboratory, 60+ Individual Rooms, ect. Suddenly it crashes, I don't know why... Nvm I thought, you always got autosave. A N D -- T H E N -- I T -- S A I D -- T H E -- F I L E -- H A D -- A N -- E R R O R I worked around 2 fricking hours per room, I always use autosave. And now it crashes, I lost days of work because my saved progress has an error! If I don't get back my saved progress in the next 2 days I am going to throw my self off the Empire State Building.
No, I just want my info back. Can anyone tell me where the list of saved stuff is located for hammer? Because this is pretty frustrating.
I hope you do throw yourself off a building. Your ridiculously high level dependence on autosave is amusing.
What? It's faster then having to compile and save your map over and over again, and besides that. It always works, as I mostly only make 1 map at a time. I was busy making it and I wanted to save it later on. I was busy days to make it it was supposed to be some pressent for the community
Dude, you don't compile the map over and over. You makes saves of the vmf. The actual file that matters. The .bsp does shit all but run ingame. You cannot go from .bsp to .vmf without losing data in the process. You can go from .vmf to .bsp because thats how it was intended
The autosave files should be in a folder called HAMMER AUTOSAVE or similar, somewhere on your computer. Just load up an earlier one and it should be okay. I'll be very interested in this "present" Yes, prove to us you aren't attention whoring.
i feel your pain, hammer autosaves every 5 minutes and makes for every unique map 99 different autosaves for me i just have lost to many battles...
Why the hell are you using autosave? You always manually back up your progress with lots of back versions in any program. Ah that takes me back. Don't put quotation marks in the parameter override field.
