Recently I had to perform a factory reset on my computer, and when I re-installed Hammer I discovered that none of my custom textures were loading (they all displayed the pink and black checkerboard). The peculiar thing is that the map still compiled correctly, and the custom textures appear in TF2. Moreover, some of the textures from the CSS texture imports have the same issues, and others show up correctly.
Most of the solutions I could find* involved running VTFEdit with minimum settings, and that didn't seem to make a difference. I also tried running VTFEdit versions 1.2.5, 1.3.2, and 1.3.3.
I verified the integrity of the cache.
I currently have the textures stored in
I tested a variety of VMT formats, including:
All of the above work correctly in game, but don't appear in Hammer.
I searched the web for help, but I haven't been able to find a working solution. If anyone knows of a solution or has seem this problem before, I would be most grateful for any help.
