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 - Significantly reduced memory usage for baking bounced lighting on large maps with high number of threads - Enabled precise floating point math, should slightly help with brush precision - Disabled brush convexity checker due to false positives - VBSP tends to allow wonky brushes like that more often than not - !nick, !rochelle, !ellis, !coach, !bill, !zoey, !louis and !francis targetnames are recognized as valid targetnames - 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 - Fixed useless Half Life 2 config being generated for Team Fortress 2 on first time use - It will still appear if you had it from previous game configurations, but it can be deleted in options - Fixed fog being enabled by default on 3D sky previews - Fixed .oggs not playing in sound browser (for games that support it) - Fixed entity key names longer than 32 characters being truncated - Fixed entities defined with Uppercase letters in the FGD not loading correctly - Fixed texture axes still showing on faces when selected with helpers toggled off - Fixed hidden 3D sky instances and sky_cameras being considered as valid for preview - Fixed env_beam/env_laser/point_spotlight sprites expanding the bounding box - Fixed mdl corruption if more than 512mb total of model data was loaded - Fixed incorrect path being generated when selecting Entity Scripts via the Manage button - Fixed list of search paths in Messages window being truncated if it was longer than 4096 characters - Fixed Run Map commands being wiped if the Edit window was exited without pressing Close - Fixed Run Map commands with escaped $ (by using $$) not being parsed correctly - Therefore $ can now be passed into commands - Fixed black 3D views when resizing the window - Fixed Jumpman colliding with tool brushes - Fixed zombie hammerplusplus.exe processes remaining rarely after shutdown - Fixed crash/corruption when changing configurations in Expert Run Map dialog - Fixed crash when running Map -> Check for Problems with certain malformed FGDs - Fixed crash when painting displacements if the displacement filters folder was empty - Fixed crash if trigger_catapult had missing keyvalues - Fixed crash if a face with valid luxels became invalid (0 area) and was baked in lighting preview

Build 8863 (October 31st 2022)
- 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 - Added option to change number of digits for texture precision, default is 4 - Added option to disable DPI scaling.

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 - Fixed displacement duplication bug due to vertex manipulation - Fixed crash when undoing displacements after certain operations - Fixed undo not preserving all displacements for certain operations - Fixed detailsprites persisting after destroying a displacement - Fixed ragdolls appearing at map origin if invalid pose was specified by the mapper - Fixed rare idle crash related to Discord rich presence (migrated to new Discord SDK) - Fixed certain cases of random rendering crashes - Fixed prop_static modelscale updating out of sync in lighting preview - Fixed .ogg files not being playable (for source mods that support it) - Fixed missing texture not appearing on sprites - Fixed missing texture sprites being super tiny - Reverted I/O performance changes to an earlier build.
