Is the fizzler texture broken? I can't align the texture properly. Is there a way to fix this? Every other texture works.

Yeah something is wrong with it (at least for me too). I just put some similar texture and aligned it then i just replaced it with the fizzler texture. It doesn't bother me too much to actually spend time trying to make it work right in hammer.

The problem is when the "edge" of the fizzler texture is in the middle of the fizzler. If you scale it up enough, the edges will eventually disappear and it will look "ok", but it's still not good imho.

I've found that a quicker way to do this is to use the fizzler_center texture

I'm using that. Doesn't that have "edges" too? I'm not sure. Anyway, I'll just leave it as it is right now and recompile when the official SDK is out, or when someone comes up with a solution.

it only has edges at the top and bottom:

Yes, but you can't change where they are. At least I couldn't. The edges (and the texture) seem to align with the world, instead of the brush. Afaik to fizzler projector model is 128 height. So in your map above you could put 3 projectors on each side on top of each other. That would look good. But if you moved the whole fizzler setup 64 units up or down (1 tile) the edges will stay where they are now and be right in the middle of each fizzler projector. I hope you understand what I mean.

I understand but it removes the side edges in the middle which neatens it a bit.
EDIT: actually I can fit in 6, 2 for each fizzler section. but that isn't so important.

You can just align the texture, using the Texture tool, just select the Brush and press the 'T' for top-alignment, works for me.

In official SDK just click on the texture and "Fit" texture..you can also see the fizzler texture how it looks so it helps a lot...

Great, finally!
