Hammer Saving Bug?... (saves as steam username)

Fourty-Seven · 08-06-2010, 11:19 AM

Hey, I've had this bug since I formatted, and I formatted after the CS update went from beta to full update.

Every time I save my map it will automatically save it in my "SteamApps" folder with my username as the map folder...

And don't get me wrong even when I try to save it in the "Sourcesdk_content\cstrike\mapsrc\" folder it automatically saves back in steamapps with my username...

I have a feeling this is because my username is my email, but back when I got steam (September 2003) they told me to use my email as my god damn username!!!!!!!!!!... grr.

This is giving me the pip!
I can only save a map in my account user name, no one has a solution?

Win7 64 bit... all steam updated.

Ok... I love to dabble in the registry so I did.

Note that the fault is...
Even when you give a new VMF another name and another folder location then press save ... hammer will always save the file as your account name and only in the "Steamapps" folder

I went to ....
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Hammer\General

Found "Last Good Save" with problematic address hammer would only insist on using all the time.

Deleted "Last Good Save"

Opened a map, went to another folder, gave it another name.

Now I can save with whatever name I choose.
I went back to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Hammer\General "Last Good Save"

The address changes to whatever I pick now and is not stuck on using my account name and steamapps folder only.
