Custom texture shows up white in-game

[theCommie]

The subject line says it all; I have a custom material refusing to compile properly, instead showing up pure white.

The VMT:

Code: Select all

LightmappedGeneric
{
   $basetexture      "mytextures\planks_new002_DIFF"
   $bumpmap      "mytextures\planks_new002_BUMP"
   $envmap         "env_cubemap"
   $basealphaenvmapmask   "1"
   $surfaceprop       "wood"
}


The console writes one line in red:

Code: Select all

Shader 'shaders\fxc\lightmappedgeneric_ps20b.vcs' - Couldn't load combo 171264 of shader (dyn=96)

No compile log errors; compiling without HDR; Episode Two.

Tried removing $basealphaenvmapmask "1"?

Since you use a bumpmap, the specular mask has to be placed in the alpha channel of the bumpmap

remove basealpha thing, replace spec map and add $normalmapalphaenvmapmask "1" instead

Hi.
you can use the basetexture as container for the specmap of course!
You have to write $basealphaenvmapmask "0"
For any reason Valve starts to count from 0 on, when importing the specmap from your basetexture.

i have same problem, except i only specified surfaceprop and basetexture..

BUMMMPPPP, commie did you ever figure this out? I have this problem now.

Kloetengott may be on to the answer, but I'm not sure what he's saying

@stoopdapoop try open up(in photoshop if you can) the diffuse and normal texture and check their channels, it happens to me some times that I save the textures/channels at wrong places which in turn gives withe textures in-game
