Oh, I didn't know it was made for a specific program.
Thanks.
EDIT: heh, ok, that was stupid. It says so in the very first sentense on the download page!

Post your vmts and tell me where you put your vmt and vmf files (eg c;programfiles/blahblah)

Heh, I got it working. I used VTFEdit to make the vtf, and then the vmt. Then I moved both files the the hl2 materials folder, which messed up the folder/name part of the vmt.
Thanks though. :wink:

Thought that was the problem anyway because I tend to do that too, I'll create a vmt that gives the wrong location of the vmf.

my .vmt file says its a text document in my custom material folder.

"LightmappedGeneric"
{
"$basetexture" "hps/test1"
"$surfaceprop" "metal"
}

I saved it as "all files" and with the name test1.vmt in notepad. But when I go to the folder, it says test1.vmt then underneath it says text file and not .vmt file like all the others.

When I load up hammer and do a search in the textures for test1, nothing comes up. is this why?

Water textures are alot more complicated. They have more parts than just a simple texture. I suggest you read this tutorial:

Your english is not too bad and is understandable :) Although I do not know what you are saying about a purse?

The Dr>Breens mineral water crap just needed to go. The problem is: even following this tutorial creating the .vmt which I didn't have before, the skin still will not show up in game or in Hammer. Well, it shows up in Hammer in the little preview window for textures and stuff, but the texture never actually appears on the vending machine in the 3D camera view for Hammer or ingame. I'm creating a mod fo HL2 deathmatch. This is my folder setup for the skin:
steamapps/sourcemods/boxwarz/materials/sodamachine01a/sodamachine01a.vtf
the modified vmt is also featured in this folder. Can anyone tell me wat i'm doing wrong or what I haven't done? Would be greatly appreciated.

Mineral water can be prepared or can occur naturally. In many places, mineral water is often colloquially used to mean carbonated water, which is usually carbonated mineral water, as opposed to tap water.

how do you make transparent textures with this tool? I've gotten them to work, but they act weird as hell. For example I can't seem to "fit" a texture, and sometimes it doesn't show up at all unless I hold down "shift texture" for like 400 units. Any idea how to get it to work like a simple texture?

Does anyone know why my decals are showing up fine in-game but have a black overlay in the texture browser of hammer?
