Weird texture problem. Created 9 years ago2014-06-24 16:16:49 UTC by Deagle195

This is how my texture looks:This is how it looks in Hammer:I don't have to post the .vmt, it has only shader, texture path and translucent.

That is strange. It looks like there's either some weird colour compression issue with the base texture, or there's something up with the vmt paths. The purple usually means an incorrect or missing texture is being referenced.

Is it a lightmappedgeneric? Have you tried recreating the VTF with something other than DXT5 compression?

Also, if you're going for the hard-edged pixel look (which I love) you could use $alphatest instead of $translucent. It's faster to render and prevents sorting errors where lots of transparent materials are used.

I tried using alphatest, but it didn't change anything, I'll try to use different compression though, thanks.

Yup, now it works fine when I changed compression to RGBA8888, thanks again.

Glad it's fixed, but how do you live with that useless manifest toolbox taking up room?

Why not? Without it it's a bit hard to orientate without it.

I think he means that you could move it underneath the entity/prefab box to gain more space in the main work area.

I disabled it completely.
I don't think standard HL2 supports manifests right?
Blank/wasted space drives me nuts.
