is there a way to convert overlays into textures?

"$translucent" 1

Do I just remove this?

You could remove it, but you will have black lines instead.

Yes but no. The image itself still has transparent areas, so removing the "$translucent" or setting it to "0" will just make those areas appear black in game.

Just try it and see for yourself.

You'd be better off NOT using it on wall and floors, because that was made to be an overlay, not a wall texture.

does the black whatever appear ingame, Hammer or both?

Can I edit the VTF or something?

VTFEdit

You can't remove the transparent parts of the texture with VTFEdit. VTFEdit can only import, export and change some flags within a .VTF, like "Pointsample" or something.
You will need to use Photoshop, Paint.NET or GIMP and download the VTF-Plugin for that. That will allow you to open the file within these programs.
Remember that the dimensions of a texture need to be powers of 2, like 2^4 = 16 or 2^7 = 128. That means you will need to stretch or shrink the texture.

Is there a non-decal signs pack out there on the internet -_-

 

[Tumby]

No because nobody has ever needed this and nobody would spent their time editing out the transparent parts for no reason.

My reason is to make an April Fool days map base on this Tutorial that said that you can never have enough signs.

So make the map as normal, and place a shit-tonne of sign overlays and decals.

Fine
