In this guide, I'm going to show you how you can manipulate animated textures in Hammer itself, such as making them start and stop, making them jump to a specific frame, and altering their frame rate.
1 - Preparing the VMT file
VMT files need to have a specific Proxy attached to them so that...
I've been experimenting with using r_screenoverlay to display textures to specific players. So far I have found that no mater what texture you use, it stretched the texture to fill the screen, resulting in them looking warped.
What I'd like to know, is there any way to prevent this? For example...
A force field texture I made for my map. I had a very hard time finding anything like this so I thought I could share it. Fits well with space themed textures.
Comes in a 6 colours: blue, red, cyan, orange, yellow and green.
Also packed with a sample map where you can walk and check them out...
I got two model-texture based problems. One involving props, the other involving capture point hologram.
So, I know how to replace default textures in TF2 (this tutorial helped) yeah haven't actually tried it on a TF2 default model, but I have with a custom model and it worked.
But for my map...
I am using the frontline metal bunker textures, but have discovered that there is no texture for the roof, and I can't find a suitable texture. Just using the wall texture on the roof looks weird, but other textures look misplaced. Do you think I should slant the roof and use a wooden shingle...
This may be a very dump question, but I just got it while working with hammer. Does it matter which resolution I choose in the texture browser. I personally always use the 256x256, but does the textures are better in-game if I would use 512x512? Or is this just the size it's displayed in the...
Hello all,
I've tried to make a few maps but on each one I've had trouble refraining from doing art passes before the layout is proven.
This is mainly due to the fact that my usual orange/gray dev textures are painful to look at and don't distinguish landscape and structures very well.
I was...
I'm in desperate need of this specific model asset. It's an overhang in a desert market. My prices are very negotiable so please don't be shy to let me know if you're interested.
Includes:
Brick/brickwall004_fix
Brick/brickwall004c_fix
Brick/brickwall004d_fix
Brick/brickwall004e_fix
which are identical to their sans _fix counterparts but with less noisy bumpmaps taken from brick/brickwall002 in an attempt to reduce the visual clutter that the original textures cause.

This pack is kept updated periodically.

Beachhead - Single-stage linear payload map, outdoors, 3 midcap, bot support (sentries + navmesh), workshop
Pl_Beachhead
Pl_Beachhead is my first published TF2 (nevertheless, payload) level. I've made quite a few though I never got them to presentable quality. You can read me about me at...
Something that has always bothered me while making the base of my maps is the dev texture. I know that it's good to use while making the structure. It's easy to remove and add, but something has been bothering me so much i almost gave up my mapping entirely.
In many, many videos of mapping...

Imagine you have a slope in your corridor, with a piece of wall going up, like this:
What would you do for it to look prettier? Use a beam? Maybe. Use alt-right click feature to precisely rotate it and position it? Would rather work for beams, doesn't look as cool on the walls.
But wait...
So I got the Mayan pack, and it doesn't come with floors, so I was wondering what everyone thought the best floor texture would be. The pictures in the Mayan pack use a cobble like the medievalcobblestone2 I am currently using. I however am not satisfied with it and am interested in the experts...
So I'm using an animated texture on a large func_brush that is disabled by default. When it's enabled it of course displays the animated texture on it, but the problem is that it often the texture is half way though the animation.
What I want to know is if there is some way to force it to start...
I've just got propper working but I suspect I have missed something, or I've not set something up correctly.
In short when I compile my models get the model files just fine, but not the textures for them. Instead Propper 'converts' the .vmt files for all the individual textures by swapping the...
