Hey, I think something changed in Unreal where an error now the base material shows up. (Or I am doing it wrong.) I am using Unreal 5.3.1 and HammUEr 2.5 for 5.3.1.
"[SM6] (Node TextureSampleParameter2D) $bumpmap> Found NULL, requires Texture2D"
When I import my materials from HL2, the base material looks normal, but when I open any of the materials I imported, or try to open the map file in Unreal, it changes to this and no materials or textures are properly loaded and look just like the non-textured blocks.
Hm. The sample materials are ancient by now, so something might have broken.
Open up your HammUErBaseMaterial and make sure the $bumpmap parameter still has the flat_normal texture assigned to it, from the error message it looks like it got unassigned?
Hello, having some trouble getting HammUEr 2.5 for 5.2 Summer to show up in my UE5.2 project. I've followed the instructions, but it doesn't seem to get recognized at all nor does it show up in the plugin list to enable. What am I missing?
As stated multiple times, Source 2 support will never be added. Sorry.
Source 2 Hammer has a completely different workflow, and as far as I know comes with its own "export to FBX" option, so... you shouldn't need anything else?
I really love HammUEr so far <3 Is there any potential to batch export the maps? What I am doing is essentially updating all the maps in trenchbroom with my changes and then i will go into my trenchbroom folder and select each map, they already have texture settings complete, then click GO to reimport the brushes. Would be useful to do this for all maps in the folder.
I've had a similar problem it turned out that it was completely unrelated to the complexity of the brush but rather it was related to the texture information. Try resetting all the texture information on the map and try again. that's what fixed it for me once.
I also noticed i ran into crashes when there were far too many objects that are also having their textures replaced on import. What i did was in my editor I group all objects in the map and then import. This of course means its only going to be one object so you have to make more changes from the editor but i found most of my crashes came from not having them grouped enough. Try experimenting with grouping things you know you won't need to tweak as much.
Hm. Please pastebin or something a map (or at least a couple of brushes of one) that has this crash so I can try to fix this now that I'm finally out of the hospital
Currently when i import this map "LavaFalls.map" from Trenchbroom it will crash about 70% progress through the importing of the meshes. I also tried grouping all the meshes from the map into 1 group and importing that way which has resolved problems for me with other trenchbroom maps but didn't seem to help here.
I wanted to post an update of something i actually found resolved this crash i posted above. I have imported this LavaFalls.map file many times and it has generated the mesh and uses the auto replace existing mesh in the HammUER settings.
It started crashing on me over time of updating the map meshes would make the import process crash. Once i hit open map in the hammUER window i click the X to reset the meshes directory and let it generate the meshes again in this new directory and now the map is no longer crashing. (no changes made to the source map file) Hoping this helps figure out what the problem is. Feel free to DM me on discord if you need any more info
Yeah, I was just going to say "can't be the map itself, since that seems to load fine no matter what options I use"
The callstack makes it seem like it happens when we tell Unreal "Hey, we changed the contents of this package, it's dirty now", so it makes sense that it happens when you've done it a couple of times in the same content directory...
Wonder what I can do about this... hm.
(also, thank you for asking, I'm not really feeling a lot better yet, I've got a long way to go with physical rehab and shit, but hopefully we'll get there... eventually)
Thanks for replying again. Luckily since clicking the X to reset directory seems to solve it, it has worked for me everytime a map has ran into this. My theory is if I add too many or remove too many meshes then it will inevitably occur. (I use the replace existing meshes option but the crash will occur without it as well)
Since I know this avoids the problem its not the worst thing ever but it does kind of suck to have everything crash on import "randomly". Sometimes the map will be importing consecutively and then this pops up. If you need any other kind of information potentially let me know I am always down to help. Even with such a problem I would just like to add that HAMMUER has been game changing for working on Unreal Engine projects and has really changed how i work on level design and even given me a lot of extra motivation to keep working at it. Thanks for building such a great tool <3
i wrote this 4 months ago, but i would really love a community, a discord or someplace where I can ask a couple of question and troubleshoot some issues I am having, lots of love <3
I'm having trouble getting the texture export from UE4.27 to Hammer to work. All the materials just end up showing up as the missing texture chessboard in Hammer.
Strange, I just tried it again with the L4D2 version of Hammer.
I export from HammUEr to my SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\materials directory, which creates a HammUEr directory under it. Then when I start the L4D2 tools and Hammer, It Just Works. I can filter by hammuer in the browser, and the textures match their Unreal Engine originals.
Is there a mismatch between the directory you put them in and what the .vmt files reference? Because those include the HammUEr\ prefix, so if you changed the directory name, you might need to edit the .vmt files as well.
Thanks for the reply, but it turned out the problem was my fault. I didn't realise the materials I was trying to export used textures that didn't comply with Source's resolution requirements (they weren't powers of 2). I just had to resize the textures and now everything works fine. On a side note, the manual states that thumbnails in Hammer's texture browser don't work, but they actually do work just fine. The only issue I've noticed so far while working with the tool is that textures on really thin faces (2 units wide or so) get a little broken when imported to UE - part of the texture seems to disappear, leaving a small "gap" near the edge of the face.
HammUEr will never support skeletal meshes by design, sorry. Anything skinned/animated gets imported as a static mesh to allow you to use it to get your measurements right, but that's as far as it will ever go.
Unfortunately, I don't have a mac. I also don't really have the time to support two different platforms with different requirements (and I'm pretty sure there's no mac version of vtflib, so that'd be another complication...)
I'm going to have to shelve this under "probably never happening, sorry."
Feature request: Do you think it would be feasible to add an option to disable texture filtering when importing textures? E.g. when importing from Quake 1 .wads it seems to default to using the "Default (from Texture Group)" Filtering setting on the UE5 texture. If I want to maintain the pixelated Quake1 look I need to go into each texture and set it to Nearest Neighbor. Not that big a deal but it would be nice if this could be set at import time.
This is now in for the 5.2 version, and can be found in the Project Settings/HammUEr/Texture & Material Importing section under "Default texture filter"
ive been trying to use it to import 2fort but the textures are missing, i genuinely have no idea what to do, ive looked everywhere trying to find any information on it but ive had no luck
You need to import any textures and materials you need separately first, from the TextUEr tab. (and then restart UE for them to actually show up in the content browser, so they can be found and be linked up correctly when you try to import the VMF)
I'm afraid the code (and general workflow) isn't fast and performant enough to work runtime. HammUEr comes with the source code for the Unreal Engine facing part, I'm afraid the actual conversion code isn't supplied because it uses some proprietary code I can't distribute. Sorry.
As far as I've been able to ascertain and been told, the secondary UV channel for decals was a CS:GO hack specifically for one single map (nuke), that's... not really relevant for how decals work in UE?
Hi, the UE5 version asks to be recompiled on UE 5.0.1 when I enable the plugin in my project, and trying to recompile it with UnrealBuildTool leads to errors during the process (whether with VS2019 or 2022 installed, it outputs errors like C2664 or C2678 in several files).
Strange, that shouldn't happen, since those are "this code is wrong and can't compile" errors, and it... compiles fine. Anyway, I've uploaded a precompiled 5.0.2 version, which should hopefully solve your problem.
My bad, there's a silent dependency on a .modules file that I didn't notice _doesn't_ automatically get created when you do a standalone build outside of the editor in UE5 (but it _did_ in UE4...), and if that's missing, unreal engine complains. Should be fixed now in the 5.0.2 version I just uploaded.
Would love to use this with Source 2. Does it work with the new version of Hammer? If not, are there plans to support Source 2? New Hammer is a dream for level design.
I am trying to import CS:GO models. The current error is: Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x000002510ad096cc
In YouTube comments I was suggested to split up models to different folders and try importing them separately. As it was claimed that it might be running-out-of ram issue. Though I have 128gb of ram. So far it worked, I still got the error in the last batch of 200mb models. I will split them up and see if it imports. If not, maybe there is a single or few files that causes this crash.
So I found one problematic model that will crash Unreal engine (HammUEr 2.2 for 4.27 ). The model is "animset_uiplayer_poses". It is in CS:GO models, the rest imports ok.
Just going to reiterate this problem. in 4.27 Im using the back to school 2.2 version for 4.27, the ConfigUEr tab only shows "session specific settings" Any ideas how to fix this?
Just want to mention Ive used HammUEr for older versions of unreal with no problem. This is the first time I have had this issue with a version of HammUEr
I watched the quick-start video and wow this thing is amazing! My only question is - my scale is off but for some reason the general settings under the ConfigUEr tab do not show up. Only the session specific settings do. Any way to fix that?
Sorry, most of the settings were moved to an actual unreal settings page in the most recent version, so you can find everything in the actual project settings now
Hi, how can i build hammuer for my custom ue4 build since my VS throws me an error: "HammUErRuntimeClasses.h(113) : LogCompile: Error: An explicit Category specifier is required for any property exposed to the editor or Blueprints in an Engine module."
Not... sure? I mean, it compiles locally with launcher UE4, and has since the very first version, so... That line number doesn't seem to match with latest source, and you didn't specify *which* UE4 you're trying to build for, so I have no idea where the problem could be...
Anyway, find any public class property that's a UPROPERTY but doesn't have a Category = "<something>" bit in it like all the others, and add one I guess, see what happens?
Thank you for your response, for some reason unrealbuildtool didnt throw this error, so i just recompiled with #pragma warning(disable : 4834) in HammUErPrivatePCH.h since it was treating 'nodiscard' warning as error and i was done.
Woah!!! Great program! Such a relief....almost....
I do have a small problem, oh great software wizard. :) the map looks pretty intact in trenchbroom, but upon importing certain complex geometries, I have massive polygonal holes and stretching in my models.
Is there any way around this? Thank you very much.
I'm... unsure. I know that Valve models sometimes have different names inside of them than the one the map expect, so you might have to look for the closest matching one and copy/rename it?
Been trying to import DOI maps. And running into issues with Hammuer not creating materials for DOI VMT blend files which don't have their own VTF file. However, I never had any problems with insurgency.
However that from what I can tell, insurgency mainly uses WorldVertexTransition which works great for Hammuer. So I'm guessing that there is some kind of issue with Hammuer not creating materials for these VMT files which have 'WorldGGX' and no accompanying VTF file.
Is this something that could possibly be solved in the future? As right now I guess my only option is to go through all VMT files with WorldGGX and no accompanying VTF and switch them to WorldVertexTransition and hope that Hammuer creates a mat for those then?

Open up your HammUErBaseMaterial and make sure the $bumpmap parameter still has the flat_normal texture assigned to it, from the error message it looks like it got unassigned?
The materials work now! Thank you so much!
Hello, having some trouble getting HammUEr 2.5 for 5.2 Summer to show up in my UE5.2 project. I've followed the instructions, but it doesn't seem to get recognized at all nor does it show up in the plugin list to enable. What am I missing?
Thanks!
Strange.
Is the HammUEr.uplugin file in [your project directory]\Plugins\HammUEr?
Source 2 please!
we need source2 !
As stated multiple times, Source 2 support will never be added.
Sorry.
Source 2 Hammer has a completely different workflow, and as far as I know comes with its own "export to FBX" option, so... you shouldn't need anything else?

I'm trying to import some of my Quake .maps, but the plugin just keeps crashing. Anything more complex than a few brushes makes it crash.
I even took one of my maps and got rid of all the func_details that were off grid, but I can't get it to properly import it. I'm at a loss here.
This is the error I keep getting, based on the logs. I tried switching from Dx12 to Dx11 just in case but it didn't help.

No, sorry.
5.1.1 extra pretty please with an extra cherry on top <3 <3
The 5.1 build should Just Work for 5.1.1 as well.
(or at least, did in testing)
didn't realize it, thanks.
i also thank you for replying, unlike other devs (valve)
Is there a discord group for this plugin where I can ask a couple of questions? Lots of love
5.1 pretty please with a cherry on top <3
Should now be up.
Sorry it's so late, I've been quite ill.
Ahh sorry to hear, hope you're feeling better!
Возможно ли купить в России?
I'm sorry, I'm constrained by what the itch (and gumroad) payment processor(s) accept.
Would really like to see Mac compat! Love the tool.
Unfortunately, I don't have a mac.
I also don't really have the time to support two different platforms with different requirements (and I'm pretty sure there's no mac version of vtflib, so that'd be another complication...)

No promises for when it'll be added (and probably only to whatever the next UE version is)

You need to import any textures and materials you need separately first, from the TextUEr tab.
(and then restart UE for them to actually show up in the content browser, so they can be found and be linked up correctly when you try to import the VMF)
I'm getting a error when trying to import a vmf which crashes UE5.

This callstack unfortunately doesn't help a lot.
It just says "something went wrong in HammUEr code", which basically tells me nothing...
If you still have this problem, feel free to drop me the offending VMF if you want, so I can add it to my testing group?
Same here, except I'm trying to import a Quake .map.
I'm on UE5.1.1
HammUEr 2.2 lacks any general settings for some reason and only shows session specific settings, any fix?
I'm having the same issue, did you find a workaround?
Hi, general settings were moved to the actual Unreal Engine project settings menu, under Edit/Project Settings/Game/HammUEr.
Sorry for the confusion.
Thank you!
Could one make this plugin work at runtime in C++? Without the import window obviously. And does this come with the C++ source code? Thanks.
I'm afraid the code (and general workflow) isn't fast and performant enough to work runtime.
HammUEr comes with the source code for the Unreal Engine facing part, I'm afraid the actual conversion code isn't supplied because it uses some proprietary code I can't distribute.
Sorry.
您好，为什么我要导入csgoprop是我的UE崩溃了，崩溃错误是未处理的异常：EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION读取地址0x000002680581004c
Hi, does HammUEr supports the secondary UV channel, used with decal textures?
If not, can it be implemented please?
As far as I've been able to ascertain and been told, the secondary UV channel for decals was a CS:GO hack specifically for one single map (nuke), that's... not really relevant for how decals work in UE?
Hi, the UE5 version asks to be recompiled on UE 5.0.1 when I enable the plugin in my project, and trying to recompile it with UnrealBuildTool leads to errors during the process (whether with VS2019 or 2022 installed, it outputs errors like C2664 or C2678 in several files).
Strange, that shouldn't happen, since those are "this code is wrong and can't compile" errors, and it... compiles fine.
Anyway, I've uploaded a precompiled 5.0.2 version, which should hopefully solve your problem.
Ue5 version doesnt seem to be working, says it requires HammUEr and HammUEr runtime
My bad, there's a silent dependency on a .modules file that I didn't notice _doesn't_ automatically get created when you do a standalone build outside of the editor in UE5 (but it _did_ in UE4...), and if that's missing, unreal engine complains.
Should be fixed now in the 5.0.2 version I just uploaded.
Question, can this tool convert maps in reverse (UE4 to hammer?)
Sorry, no.
You *can* convert your materials from UE to Source to some extent to help with visualization,
but that's it.
Hi, does HammUEr support American McGee's Alice BSP files? Or can I pay for you to add support?
Alice uses the same engine (Quake3 + Ritual's UberTools) as Heavy Metal F.A.K.K 2. Alice uses a FAKK42 BSP signature and F.A.K.K 2 uses FAKK12.

Thanks, Anna
HammUEr explicitly doesn't read compiled BSP files, only source files for maps, sorry.
This is such an amazing product!! Thank you so much!! Any plans to bring to UE5??
Would love to use this with Source 2. Does it work with the new version of Hammer? If not, are there plans to support Source 2? New Hammer is a dream for level design.
Unfortunately, Source 2 support will never be added.
Sorry.
:(
Hi,
I was just wondering if you plan on supporting UE5?
Thanks.
Yes, eventually, when there's a "proper" one and no longer release candidates.
Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply, much appreciated.
HammUEr 2.2 for 4.27 always crashes (100% from ~10 times) Unreal when importing models. What is the issue?
Not... sure?
I'm going to need more information that "it always crashes when importing models". What models? Are there any error messages?
I am trying to import CS:GO models.
The current error is: Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x000002510ad096cc
In YouTube comments I was suggested to split up models to different folders and try importing them separately. As it was claimed that it might be running-out-of ram issue. Though I have 128gb of ram. So far it worked, I still got the error in the last batch of 200mb models. I will split them up and see if it imports. If not, maybe there is a single or few files that causes this crash.
Thanks
So I found one problematic model that will crash Unreal engine (HammUEr 2.2 for 4.27 ). The model is "animset_uiplayer_poses". It is in CS:GO models, the rest imports ok.
Thanks.
Yeah, there's no animation support in HammUEr, and I'm guessing this one has no mesh information at all.
Just going to reiterate this problem. in 4.27 Im using the back to school 2.2 version for 4.27, the ConfigUEr tab only shows "session specific settings" Any ideas how to fix this?
Just want to mention Ive used HammUEr for older versions of unreal with no problem. This is the first time I have had this issue with a version of HammUEr
Sorry, most of the settings were moved to an actual unreal settings page, so you can find everything in the actual project settings now
oh wow! thank you so much! This is great! Super helpful :D

I watched the quick-start video and wow this thing is amazing! My only question is - my scale is off but for some reason the general settings under the ConfigUEr tab do not show up. Only the session specific settings do. Any way to fix that?
I second this issue, I also have it.... Anyone know how to fix this?
Sorry, most of the settings were moved to an actual unreal settings page in the most recent version, so you can find everything in the actual project settings now

Hi, how can i build hammuer for my custom ue4 build since my VS throws me an error: "HammUErRuntimeClasses.h(113) : LogCompile: Error: An explicit Category specifier is required for any property exposed to the editor or Blueprints in an Engine module."
Not... sure?
I mean, it compiles locally with launcher UE4, and has since the very first version, so...
That line number doesn't seem to match with latest source, and you didn't specify *which* UE4 you're trying to build for, so I have no idea where the problem could be...
Anyway, find any public class property that's a UPROPERTY but doesn't have a Category = "<something>" bit in it like all the others, and add one I guess, see what happens?
Thank you for your response, for some reason unrealbuildtool didnt throw this error, so i just recompiled with #pragma warning(disable : 4834) in HammUErPrivatePCH.h since it was treating 'nodiscard' warning as error and i was done.
Woah!!! Great program! Such a relief....almost....
I do have a small problem, oh great software wizard. :) the map looks pretty intact in trenchbroom, but upon importing certain complex geometries, I have massive polygonal holes and stretching in my models.
Is there any way around this? Thank you very much.
Hi!
I've updated the default algorithm in the new Back to School update for 4.26 and 4.27, which should hopefully take care of this problem for you.
Why do I lose some models when I import maps and models into the dus2 map in csgo, not only this map, but also some of the maps of inferno.
I'm... unsure.
I know that Valve models sometimes have different names inside of them than the one the map expect, so you might have to look for the closest matching one and copy/rename it?
Does Hammuer not support WorldGGX? https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/WorldGGX
Been trying to import DOI maps. And running into issues with Hammuer not creating materials for DOI VMT blend files which don't have their own VTF file. However, I never had any problems with insurgency.
However that from what I can tell, insurgency mainly uses WorldVertexTransition which works great for Hammuer. So I'm guessing that there is some kind of issue with Hammuer not creating materials for these VMT files which have 'WorldGGX' and no accompanying VTF file.
Is this something that could possibly be solved in the future? As right now I guess my only option is to go through all VMT files with WorldGGX and no accompanying VTF and switch them to WorldVertexTransition and hope that Hammuer creates a mat for those then?
Not... explicitly no, sorry.
Could maybe look into this for the next version.
