• Merging detailsprite files
    1 replies, posted
So wanna state that I am fairly new with implementing custom detailsprites. Anyway. So I am working on an editof a map and the main focus is adding an underwater sea. When it came to looking for coral, I thought detailsprites would be the easiest way both optimization wise and implementation wise. Does anyone know a method that will work? I have tried taking both detailsprite.vtf images merging it into a 2048x2048 image and resaving it as detailsprite.vtf, then putting the needed shit into the .vbsp file. Editing the coordinates correctly. But it doesnt work and just turns entire chunks of the entire vtf files into the sprites and theres also no transparency around the edges of the coral, leaving just the backgrounds coloured. (I think this is due to it not being Eight bit format when I made this combined vtf in vtfedit, however I was not able to turn it into Eight bit and have no clue on how to). Anyone got a guide that I can just start scratch from? Or a way to fix my woes.
Just to verify, the only issue is that you don't have transparency in the texture you made?
