Excluding materials Created 16 years ago2008-08-23 23:30:28 UTC by ATDestroy

I want to exlude materials so that only the TF2 materials show up in my browser. The directory structure of the games in steam is confusing, and i cant find the materials i want to exlude. Can anyone tell me where to look for the materials in my games other than TF2? Thanks in advance

When you open the texture browser, look for the "Keywords" text field at the bottom and enter "tf" into it. That'll show only the textures that belong to TF2, although it'll take a few moments (for me, usually 30 seconds or so) for Hammer to load all of them.

Since the introduction of the orange box, the orange box's updated material system now allows for tags/keywords to be placed on textures.

All TF2 textures have a common keyword, so.. what this means for this question:

1. Open up hammer and a map as normal.
2. Go to the texture browser.
3. In the texture browser, find the "Keywords" field. (linked below)



4. Click into it and type "tf", without quotes of course.
5. Only TF2 textures will be loaded. It will take a few minutes (a long few minutes) seeing as its your first time doing it. Dont try to exit it or end task it, it will appear frozen but its not :/

6. Enjoy undisturbed TF2 textures ;o

Unfortunately there are no tags on any textures from episode 1 and below, so you wont be able to punch those up.

Edit: Crap for 10 minute late response ;o

I uh.. Left the window up in another tab for a bit before actually deciding to read it, let alone refresh it to see if someone else answered it.

Great! just the answer i was looking for, consider this question answered

Thanks guys
