<h1>Build 8870 (August 1st 2025)</h1>
<pre>
Happy 5th anniversary to Hammer++!
- Added Hotspot Texturing
- Allows quickly applying textures to geometry by matching faces to pre-defined rectangles
- Useful for trims, panels etc, works similar to Source 2's Hotspots
- Rectangles are loaded from a .rect file, specified by $rectanglemap in the VMT
- Clicking "Fit" button on a hotspot-enabled material will map to nearest matching rectangle
- See <a href="https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Hotspot_Texturing">wiki page</a> for more information
- Added new algorithm for UV island generation in Propper++ atlas
- Prevents stretching and has more consistent texel density, improves texture and lightmap quality
- In case of issues, old algorithm is still available as a toggle
- Added ambient occlusion baking in Propper++ atlas
- See <a href="https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Hammer++/Propper++">wiki page</a> for more information
- Added File -> Reload Particles
- You can open particle editor simultaneously and have changes refresh in editor
- Added Steam mounting support by appid in gameinfo.txt in TF2 SDK-based games
- This was already present in previous hotfixes for TF2, but not everyone was aware/installed these hotfixes
- As a side effect, Hammer++ will be listed as Source SDK on Steam
Except for L4D2/Portal 2 which will use their Authoring Tools instead
- If you want to disable this, untick "Enable Steam support" in Hammer++ options
- Added support for extending keyvalues and inputs/outputs via ExtendClass
- Previously this feature wasn't implemented and would crash
- Added Occlusion View and "Occluder" tag in Face Edit tool
- Used to mark faces that should be rendered for software occlusion
- This feature is intended for an unreleased TF2 mod and will do nothing in official games
- Note: I am planning to release this feature publicly for the SDK at a later point
- Added "Move Objects to Floor/Ceiling" in right click menu on 2D views
- Added support for "skyyaw" in worldspawn
- Intended for mods that support it
- Garry's Mod: Fixed textures appearing randomly pixelated
- This was tied to fog preview trying to set radial fog, despite it not existing in GMod
- Garry's Mod: Added Counter-Strike: Source and Half Life 2: Episodes mounting
- Garry's Mod: Addons folder is now mounted by default like GMod Hammer
- If you want to disable addons, start Hammer++ with -noaddons parameter
- Holding alt + left click + right click with Face Edit tool now applies continuously
- Enabled "Classic Missing Texture" option by default
- However, is it now a red checkerboard to tell it apart from a VMT missing texture
- Propper++ will now rename $color to $color2 in VMTs automatically
- Texture browser now enforces a minimum thumbnail size of 32x32 so tiny textures are visible
- Entity Report now shows extra info for func_instance, prop_* and info_overlay entities
- Surface and contents flags for brush faces are now saved in the VMF ("flags" and "contents" respectively)
- Hidden filter entities are no longer included in the list of filters in entity properties
- Unrecognized FGD types are now assumed to be string instead of causing a load error
- This is for compatibility with thirdparty engines
- HLMV++: Added option to preview sequence walkframes
- HLMV++: Fixed MDL not being loaded when passed as startup argument
- Fixed thumbnails in quick texture dropdown not showing up
- Fixed crash when changing configuration options in a VMF containing instances
- Fixed crash when double clicking a map to load it on startup
- This only occured on maps with lots of unique models
- Caued by Hammer running out of model memory
- This is actually a bug in every version of Hammer!
- Likely also fixes random "Model is corrupt" errors in sessions
- Fixed ←[0m markers appearing in compiler window in TF2 SDK-based games
- Fixed "Invert Displacement Alpha" option not working under TF2 SDK-based games
- Fixed missing support for SplineRope shader in TF2 SDK-based games
- Fixed func_detail variants such as func_detail_illusionary not casting shadows in lighting preview
- Fixed point_spotlight preview not reading the "Ignore Solid" Property
- Fixed corrupt black geometry on faces in TF2 SDK-based games
- This only happened on the 32-bit version, you must now use 64-bit Hammer++
- Fixed incorrect sprite colors in lighting preview HDR mode

<h1>Build 8866 (May 19th 2024)</h1>
<pre>
- Added native Propper tool
- Converts selected brushes/displacements to a model automatically
- Works on all games and serves as a replacement for the old standalone Propper tool
- Access it from Tools -> Propper or Ctrl + Shift + P
- Brushes tied to an entity or grouped together will be converted into a single mesh
- Unlike the old Propper, this converts the Hammer mesh directly so there is no destructive loss from the BSP process
- The tool is a two-step process: Build and Compile
- If you want to add extra model properties like prop_data, Build it first, edit the generated QC and then Compile
- Note: the studiomdl.exe path won't be automatically configured unless you are on a fresh install
- Make sure to configure the MDL program in Tools -> Options -> Build Programs first
- Added support for HDR lighting preview (on by default)
- Improved lighting quality in dark interiors
- Includes post-processing preview: change tonemap, bloom, color correction and vignette settings
- Left 4 Dead 2: This fixes lighting preview brightness being very inaccurate in dark areas, as the game uses up to x8 tonemap scaling by default!
- Left 4 Dead 2: 2D skybox preview will now show HDR skyboxes correctly
- Moved Map -> Set Color Correction to lighting preview's options
- When a map is loaded for the first time, bloom/tonemap settings are copied from the first found env_tonemap_controller
- If there is multiple env_tonemap_controllers, the one with "global" in the name is favored first
- LDR mode can be re-enabled in Tools -> Options -> Hammer++ (not recommended)
- Upgraded texture browser to display WorldVertexTransition blends automatically
- %tooltexture is now ignored on WorldVertexTransition materials for this reason

- Added extra info on showing compile window errors to other people
- Added warning message if resource files for model/particle browser are missing (they will crash without them)
- Loading a pointfile will now center camera on the exit point
- Pointfiles will now select the (brush) entity responsible for the leak when loaded
- Increased pointfile color saturation
- Added slider for Near Clipping Plane in Options -> 3D views
- Increasing this allows reducing z-fighting when observing very large maps
- Added exception address to crash message
- Updated model ambient sampling in lighting preview
- Now samples nearby lightmaps, this should make them look better inside (dark) interiors
- Changed I/O delimiter in Garry's Mod to use ESC rather than commas by default
- Should fix issues with instance I/O
- Raised compile parameter length limit from 260 to 8192 (maximum length allowed by Windows)
- Increased max back clipping plane, model render distance and detail render distance from 32768 to 99999

- Added shader fix for WorldVertexTransition blend modulate textures for SDK2013
- Added shader fix for Sprites rendering through walls on Garry's Mod and SDK2013
- Added toggleable support for 4 way displacement blends (default is off)
- To enable, open hammerplusplus_settings.ini and change Enable4WayBlends under [General] to true
- The Blend button under Sculpt will now be enabled, and the extra information will be read and saved in VMFs
- NOTE: The game itself must support this feature for it to work!
The blends will not show up in Hammer++ unless shader support is present
If shaders are implemented to show 4WayBlends under Garry's Mod, this will serve as support for Black Mesa
- VMFs can be drag and dropped (like Garry's Mod Hammer)
- Pointfiles are now rainbow gradient colored. This allows you to more easily see where it starts and ends
- Upgraded compile window to inform if a command failed, and the total time is now shown

- Fixed detail sprites materials breaking after modifying a displacement
- Fixed lighting preview only creating displacement shadows from the backside
- Now matches VRAD behavior, both sides will block shadows
- Prop lighting preview may look downgraded due to this change, particularly with rocks inside displacements
This can be workarounded by setting prop lighting origins to a better info_lighting place
Lighting origins won't affect VRAD because it uses per-vertex lighting
- Fixed quick texture list dropdown going up by default, it will now try go down whenever possible
- Fixed textures longer than 128 characters being truncated in texture browser
- Fixed broken color picker layout

<div class="patch">
<h1>Build 8863 (October 31st 2022)</h1>
<pre>
- Added convex + hole checker for brushes. This will catch invalid brushes that Hammer wouldn't pick up as invalid before, but could have caused VBSP to die (such as with the infamous "BSP unbounded" error)
- Note: some maps may get reported as having invalid solids when they previously wouldn't. If these are inspected closely, very tiny edges or holes can be discovered. A simple fix is to select all vertices and snap them to grid to make it valid again, or remake the brush.
- Added textured sprite icons in 2D view. On by default, this can be toggled off in options
- Added trajectory visualizer for trigger_catapult
- Added angles visualizer for env_blood, env_physimpact, env_entity_maker, func_movelinear, func_button, func_door, func_conveyor, info_projecteddecal, phys_thruster, shadow_control, trigger_apply_impulse, trigger_push, trigger_wind
- CSGO: Added vgui_world_text_panel preview

- As a result, the full filename workaround is no longer needed for tools such as Propper. Simply typing in 'propper' will now work
- Fixed brushes with less than 4 faces not being reported as invalid
- Fixed crash when vertex manipulating displacements and editing them afterwards
- Fixed crash when box selecting with vertex manipulation, pressing enter and then holding left click

<h1>Build 8851: Major update (January 21st 2022)</h1>
<pre>
- Added Lighting Preview
- Simulate Source's iconic lighting right inside the editor
- High accuracy and reasonably fast when compared to VRAD
- Efficiently multithreaded, the more threads your CPU has the faster it will be
- Dynamic, fast updating of point lights and spotlights is supported
- Bakes can be done globally (full bake) or only in a certain radius
- Options configurable include:
- Dynamic Updating: Toggle automatically updating when changing a point light or spotlight
- Update Delay: The delay in seconds before updating automatically
- Texlight Filename: Custom .rads file used for texture lights. The lights.rad and .rad file is loaded automatically
- Sun Samples: The quality of sunlight, higher is better but slower
- Ambient Samples: The quality of ambient environmental lighting, higher is better but MUCH slower
- Visibility Samples: The quality of visibility testing for lights, higher is more accurate but much slower
- Light Radius Scale: Multiplier for how far a light can "see". Lowering this can make bakes faster but less accurate
- Light Brightness Scale: Multiplier of brightness for all lights
- Ambient Occlusion Scale: If non-zero, ambient occlusion will be baked. This is expensive, so it's off by default!
- Bounced Light: Bounces light so areas that a light can't see will still receive light. Only re-baked on full bakes
- Light Bleed Hack: Attempts to fix light bleeding through walls due to the nature of Hammer geometry
- Cubemap: Toggle rendering of the cubemap, as it can be distracting in certain situations
- Current limitations:
- Dynamic updating of geometry doesn't exist yet, use radius bake for now
- Instances are not supported (soon)
- Texture shadows are not supported
- Detail sprites and ropes show as fullbright
- CSGO: cascaded shadow mapping (CSM) is not rendered (soon!)
- Added Create Instance from Selection tool
- Accessed from Tools tab or keybind
- Converts the selection into an instance and places it in the correct place automatically
- Added 3D skybox preview
- To use: convert your 3D skybox section into an instance (use the new Convert Selection to Instances tool for this)
- The instance must have a sky_camera entity, otherwise it will not register as a 3D sky
- 3D skybox should now appear at real scale in your main map. Toggle the preview on/off with the toolbar button
- Fog preview is also supported in the 3D skybox
- Added Instance Preview
- Main VMF will now be shown while editing an instance
- Accessible via the new "Edit Instance with Preview" button or by middle clicking an instance in 3D view
- Note: 3D sky preview does not work properly in combination with this yet
- Overhauled rope rendering, now perfectly accurate to in-game and renders materials properly
- Ropes can now also be simulated, toggleable with a new button in the toolbar
- Added "Barbed" and "Dangling" property support
- Overhauled color picker
- Much easier to pick any desired color
- Variety of color model options (e.g. RGB, HSV...) to choose from
