func_precipitation ash

[Trader]

The ash precipitation is always filled with magenta squares, is their any way to actually just make these squares pure black for my map? Or does Valve just hate us.

A purple/black checker-boarded texture means that the texture is missing. To quote the VDC article on func_precipitation:

Note: This option [ash] has problems in Counter Strike: Source and Half-Life 2 non-episodic (missing texture/sprite), can be fixed by extracting materials/effects/fleck_ash1 to 3 VMTs and VTFs from episode 1 shared.gcf

If you need any help with those directions, don't be afraid to ask.

Ah thank you!
