Would someone go to the trouble of taking a printscreen of their expert compile window in hammer 3.5b for me? I lost my old settings and can't seem to get it to work, and when I downloaded that hammer it didn't come with help files to help me set up the configs. I remembered most of the settings from memory, but something's wrong because it's not compiling.

If you need it, I could make and post a screenshot of how the compile window looks and the expert compile command screen too.

I cannot help you with the expert compile for hammer, but I do use Nem's Batch compiler, it comes with a tut and how to set it up for a full compile. Working well for me.
(works for 1.3 and Source)

I have had problems with these settings dissapearing in Hammer 4.1b too. The solution was to extract the settings file from the gcf and replace the empty one.

I suggest you make a backup copy of your settings for when it happens. Here is a quick fix to get the default setup back for the current Hammer 4.1b.

Download the CmdSeq.wc (http://xsgamedesign.com/source/bin/CmdSeq.wc)

And replace the one in your Steam\SteamApps\<username>\sourcesdk\bin folder.

I appreciate the help Supa, but I'm asking about the old editor(i.e. hammer 3.5b), for classic maps. I'm posting some screenshots of my settings and compile window with this post to show you guys what's going on...maybe seeing will help. :)

And for the record, I didn't have a problem with these settings disappearing either....it's just that I had a hard drive failure and when I reinstalled hammer, the settings weren't there after install anymore for whatever reason.

Here's the compile info:

And some pics of my compiler settings:

Scratch this thread, I figured out the problem. Whoever gave me the zoner's tools gave me a bad version...they weren't functioning. After installing new tools, it worked fine. So, disregard this thread :)
