Hi all,
I'm trying to add a custom texture to my tf2 map using [ame="http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=838"]Hawk's tutorial[/ame]. Unfortunately, I can't find my custom texture at the Texture Browser.
Here is what I did:
1. Installed the VTF Format Plug-In for Photoshop.
2. Scribbled something on Photoshop with these settings:
512*512 pixels
300 pixels/inch
RGB Color 8 bit
White background
3. Saved as VTF with these settings:
Format: DXT1
Mipmap Filter: Box
Sharpen Filter: Sharpen Soft
Mipmaps: Checked
Thumbnail: Checked
Flags: None Checked
4. Placed the vtf. file at:
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\[My steam username]\sourcesdk_content\tf\materialsrc
ALSO TRIED:
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\[My steam username]\team fortress 2\tf\materials
5. Restarted Hammer and opened up my saved project.
6. Looked for my custom texture in the Texture Browser and didn't find it there.
I promise to give a virtual cookie to the one who will help me
