Environment Gallery - No more decompiling of Valve's maps! 1.0

[Fruity Snacks]

You open the .vmf, find the map you want to get the enviromental lighting from, copy/paste the 5-6 entites there (not the sound or the particles). Then you find out what the skybox texture name is (its in the comments of the env_sun... choose "solids" from the selection bar on the right) and add that to the "map properties" which is like under the map dropdown menu.

Dumb question alert!

Where do I unzip this? Please tell me the correct path.

Thanks!

place the tf folder in steamapps/teamfortress so that it merges with the existing tf folder... and you can place the vmf anywhere you'd like.

Just FYI, it seems to me that the download link is broken.

Now its working... Maybe my internet's just fucking with me

I think it's ok that I uploaded it, since Acegikmo isn't active since 2011.

Considering ace has gone and got a job or something and doesn't have time for us, I updated this with the maps since he last did:

I added:
Mann Manor,
Mountain Lab,
Gullywash,
Eyeaduct,
Foundry,
Mannhattan
Rottenberg

This resource is missing. Can we get this re-uploaded somewhere?

My bad. I cleaned up my dropbox last week. Here it is.

How do I install this on hammer?

How do I install this on hammer?

Copy the tf folder in the download

Go to C:/ProgramFiles/Steam/SteamApps/common/Team Fortress 2

Put the tf folder in there, it will ask to Merge folders, say yes.

Then, open hammer and open the aaa_environmentGallery_1.8.vmf folder. Find the map that has the environment you want, and copy all the entities there and past them into the map. Change the skybox under Map > Map Properties. You can find that environments skybox by object-selecting the env_sun.

This is going to be a bump and a half, but could somebody update this with the newer maps? This is ungodly levels of useful!

I've actually been thinking about this a bit myself recently. I've got bspsource and the technical know-how, so I might be able to update it myself. There are also a few changes I'd make to the original, as I think some things could be improved. I'm not making any promises, but, well, this might be a thing I'll do soon (Valve Time (/joke))

Anyone want to update this with the Jungle Inferno and Scream Fortress 2018 maps?
