you could probably just make func_detail railings in hammer and just take those textures and turn them in to vtfs

Can you provide a drawing or source image to show what you're looking for?

this is what im currently using:
something similar, but better.
cause this looks lame

with the current one, the total model is 60 units heigh, but 8 of that hangs over the side and down the edge of the platform

I think you think it looks lame because the texture you're using is lame. Try some of the TF2 stock wood textures.

If it's the same basic railing repeated a berjillion times, then a model does sound like a good idea to me, provided you're willing to design it so that you only use certain lengths/shapes...

If you've run out of memory allocation, you could just select everything that's func_detail and send it through propper. Or, if you don't want to go to mapping hell turn the individual handrailings into props. Either way.

propper may do what i need,
i just have to figure out how to get it working...

i have several other things that could be propped.
if anyone knows of a tutorial on propper that link would also be appreciated

well i think i may have found something that will work:
its the railing posts from the swamp pack
all i did was add a 6x6 railing in between
i can adjust length as necessary, and the height is right what i wanted, high enough to prevent you from jumping over, but low enough so you can crouch-jump over

to bad there isnt a darker skin for the posts.

thoughts?
