Can't find decal Created 18 years ago2006-02-21 14:41:11 UTC by Daubster

Now I have my map with lots of custom textures and a few custom decals. Now the decals are set up alright ('{' prefix, the last color in the palette isn't white, the decal is in grayscale).

It also shows up on my map in hammer, although when I load the map in HL, the decal's don't show up.
After a few runs, I've noticed that it writes "Can't find decal "<decal name>" in the console. I've checked the wad and it's there!

So how come my custom decals don't show up?

needs to be in the decals.wad

Hunter is right. It needs to be in the decals .wad.. pain in the arse

If you want costum decals you'll have to make a minimod with a decals.wad of it's own. People don't like when somebody messes with their stuff.

Damn..
What kind of a dumbass system is that? :
Nvm.. No custom decals in my map then..

You can always fake it... Just extract the texture you're trying to put the decal on, put the decal on in photoshop and save it as a new texture... Bothersome and increases filesize considerably, yes but its pretty much the only way

Or, make your decal with a transparent--blue--background, and apply to it's own brush over where you want it, with all the sides nulled but the front face.

It's not exactly what you want, but about as close as you can get without modifying the decals file.

Yea, I was thinking of doing something like that..
Thanks.
