    pakrat vs. propper

    Any idea why the texture directory would be missing all vtf files, but has all the vmt files, and I can see the textures of all models and skins fine when I play, view in model viewer, or use in hammer? I found PackBSP and it added a load of files and some of the models began to work. I opened...

    pakrat vs. propper

    according to this, after using pakrat on auto, everything i need should be added except for textures. If this is true, I should be able to open the texture directory defined in the propper options, and pakrat the files in that folder. quote=" As far as texture directory noted in propper, I...

    pakrat vs. propper

    Aye. The answers to these questions should allow me to understand what files need packing and why I currently fail. I really don't know much about models so its likely that something painfully obvious could have been over looked. As far as texture directory noted in propper, I had packed...

    pakrat vs. propper

    I made models in hammer and compiled with propper. They have several skins. In hammer, and in game, all is well. I used pakrat to add the files I assumed belonged in the map, but the textures are missing. I tried to manually add files from the models but still to no avail. What I'd like to...

    Direct link to Steam Chat from forums?

    I'll note that I used to search for an ABS post before I joined the steam group, because I remembered his signature contains a link to the chat. Once I got tired of doing that I joined the group. That being the case I must support these gentlemen.

    PM issue

    I just tried to send a PM twice. The first time there was a pair of PHP errors, and the message about it being successfully sent. In my user CP, it showed no messages in the sent folder. Just to be safe, I hit back a few times, and resent the PM. Upon reaching the CP, the sent items folder is...

    Pink & black/ ERROR models in TF2

    I probably shouldn't reply cause I don't know much but I'd think you want to buildcubemaps after adding your new stuff to the bsp, then you can take that bsp with your custom stuff and add that to your server, so anyone who downloads the map will get the bsp with your custom things and they will...

I'd really hope someone who knows about this can help me out with this. Otherwise all this was a waste of my...
