I always wondered how you add custom textures, right now I'm making a map and the current textures doesn't look that great. So just one simple question, how do you add custom ones?
Custom textures?
- Thread starter Bun
- Start date
you need to put the textures in the tf/materials folder im pretty sure. is that what your asking? or are you asking how to put them into the map? if the latter then u need to Pakrat them in which then puts them all into the bsp so other ppl dont get errors when they play the map

this is what I use:
Once you've made your custom tex ( in photoshop etc. )
you have to save it as a vtf.

and this is also handy:

& read this too : http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Vmt
hope you get it sorted, just remember to embed custom textures before releasing the bsp. & that lots of custom textures will increase your maps filesize. You can use Pakrat to embed or Map Analyst MAN:

Ah ok, I put VTFs in the tf/materials folder and it worked, thanks! ^^
