I'm creating a map using borneo's jungle ground and can't find out how to get the "tall" grass particles to come out of the displacement. Everything that I'm finding from googling suggests that it should just be happening from using a texture that supports it. Here's an image of what I'm wanting in case my rambling explanation isn't clear.

That's pretty much it. Are you sure you're using the exact same texture? Maybe there's another one that's identical that doesn't have detail sprites, and you're using that one by mistake.

The texture has the same name, and I'm using heyo's content that he linked directly to in his borneo thread.
Borneo's face edit sheet.

I'm not seeing any differences, beside the texture shift. I even tried changing it to the same power level, but it didn't fix it.

iirc borneo uses sawmill's so those two lines:

detail_sawmill.vbsp
detail/detailsprites_sawmill

Borneo's vmf was saying it used trainyard, so I tried that first. It didn't work, so I tried sawmill. Also, didn't work. But I did managed to break something. :/ Now stuff is randomly disappearing on me.

EDIT: I fixed the disappearing stuff somehow. Still having issues with the sprites though.

I fixed it. Turns out I'm just dumb. When I changed the detail sprites in my map properties it made it so that there were too many detail sprites being made in my map, so my map wasn't properly compiling. But, thanks for the help anyways, I wouldn't have known to change the detail sprites in map properties otherwise.

Ah yeah you have to be careful not to use too much of sprite-emitting textures. Moooost blends that emit have a -nosprites version that you'll want to use for out of bounds areas or skybox stuff
