Pink & Black Texture Created 17 years ago2006-09-18 12:38:12 UTC by mikvat

I saved a Jpg-file as TGA in photoshop and placed it in a folder named "mytextures" in the materialsrc folder in SteamSteamAppsMyusernamesourcesdk_contentcstrikematerialsrc through the process of "dragging" the file onto the shortcut I have on my desktop to the program vtex. Vtex stated that it went ok but when I locate my texture in Hammer it appears checkered in pink and black. Anyone knows what I did wrong?

Pink&black - 99% points on error "texture not found". Check ways to yor *.vtf texture file in your *.vmt file

You need to paste it also in the game folder so here and here:

C:program filesvalvesteamSteamAppshabboicounter-strike sourcecstrikematerials

C:program filesvalvesteamSteamAppshabboisourcesdk_contentcstrikematerialsrc

You need both VTF and VMT files.

Hi .. i need help
i have my folder in
C:Program FilesSteamsteamappslilfellabobsourcesdk_content
and in
C:Program FilesSteamsteamappslilfellabobcounter-strike sourcecstrikematerials
In that folder called surf_basin_texs) i have 5 files... basin_open.jpg, basin_open.tga, basin_open.txt, basin_open.vmt and basin_open.vtf...
both folders r EXACTLY the same....
in the basin_open.vmt i have the following
"LightmappedGeneric"

{
"$basetexture" "basin_open/surf_basin_texs"
}
is this correct? because i am getting the pink and black squares... and i really want my custom texture
please help

if "surf_basin_texs" is your folder, it should be

"LightmappedGeneric"
{
"$basetexture" "surf_basin_texs/basin_open"
}

First the folder, then the filename.

In this case basin_open will refer to the basin_open.vtf. You don't need the other image files. You also don't need the first folder.

2 year bump and thread hijack. nice

Yeah, don't do that.
