when i make my custom texture i go into hammer...browse it and its coming up bright pink n black checkers ..can someone please help me

You need to place the material files in the proper folder. They're supposed to go in:
Steamappsnamegamemodmaterials

For example:
steamappszombieloffecounter-strike sourcecstrikematerials

That'll probably fix it.

There are many causes for this to happen, be more specific.

If the texture shows up with pink and black checkers in Hammer, you need to make sure you have a copy of the VMT file in the sourcesdk_content folder.

If the same thing happens ingame, the path in the VMT file you placed in the game folder is also incorrect.

Can you post the contents of the vmt here?

Edit: zombie was faster

I see the vmt (with no file extension) and a tga file. Where is the actual VTF file?

Your other question:

SteamApps/yournamesourcesdk/bin/HammerAutosave

how do i make a vtf file ?

EDIT i have done everything this tutorial tells me to do http://twhl.co.za/tutorial.php?id=89

Then you should have created a vmt file by dragging the tga into vtex.exe, right?

Maybe vtex doesn't allow that image size. I wouldn't be surprised. Resize your image to 512x512 instead of 768x768 and try it again.

Eurgh. First off! Your making things way to complicated by using vtex.exe!

Use VTFEdit.

ok ill try it and ive got another question when i compile my map this comes up >>>> http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/2618/helpjl8.jpg
