colormap-able item_security

A colormap-able item_security model (models/w_security.mdl) for all your security card puzzle needs.

Colormap is the feature used on multiplayer models that gives you the ability to specify a "top" and "bottom" colours for the model. But you can apply a colormap to just about any entity displaying a model, and this model takes advantage of that. No need to edit and compile a separate texture for each colour into the model, now you can have all the colours in one texture!

Installation

1. Extract contents of zip to <path to mod>/models e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life\valve_addon\models

Usage

1. Open the model in a model viewer that supports adjusting the "top" and "bottom" colours. Half-Life Asset Manager is recommended, get it from the Tools and Resources page.
2. Using the model viewer, go to the "Textures" tab or widget, and adjust the "top" and "bottom" colour sliders until the card's colour is to your liking.
3. Copy the number in "colormap value" textbox.
4. In your map editor, place and set up an item_security as you want it to be (position, target, etc...)
5. Turn off SmartEdit and add the following keyvalue:
   • colormap = (the number you just copied)
6. Compile and enjoy!
