Map -> Map Properties

Detail.vbsp -> detail_trainyard.vbsp
Detail Material File -> detail/detailsprites_trainyard

Hm, Could leaks prevent details such as grass from generating?

Grass isn't displayed in Hammer for some reason. Follow Icarus's post about VBSP and it should appear in-game.

you have to make sure your texture is nature/blendgroundtograss007 instead of nature/blendgroundtograss007_nodetail. Otherwise, your grass won't appear. I had problems with it, and that solved my problem, I used the wrong texture.

detail props (grass/flowers) should show up in the 3d view if you have the right option checked. I see all the grass in my 3d view in hammer....


If you want to use the detail prop grass in a 3d skybox, you would have to create a custom texture with the detail prop scaled down to 16th, but I dont even think that's possible. There's no "scale" variable for detail props, as far as I can see. I say, that's all unnecessary, just use the _nodetail in the skybox. I made an alpine map, I used detail props in the playing field and nodetail in the skybox and it looks awesome.

Relax man...

It's OK to get frustrated and put it down for a bit, just don't give up!!!

See:

Here's your setting for it, make sure you have it like mine. Depending on how good your graphics hardware is, you can adjust your prop detail distance.

You can't! Blame Valve for this but it doesn't matter anyway. Wherever there is green there will be grass and that is all that's important.
