Adding materials to Epiosde 2?

[PetruZ-]

Hi,

I'm wondering how I can add materials/textures to Episode 2 and then use it in Hammer.
I've tried just adding them in ep2/materials but that just creates pink/black textures.

You're putting both the vtfs and vmts in, right?

[PetruZ-]

Yes; half-life 2 episode two\ep2\materials\Luxury\woodenfloor.vft and woodenfloor.vmt

The path set in the vmt must be equal to the file path.

Also, you don't need to sign your posts.

Where/How can I change the path in the vmt?

[HighdefGE]

You open the vmt file of where it's at.

[PetruZ-]

Yeah, then what? I'm new with VTFEdit.

This is what it shows currently:

"LightmappedGeneric"
{
	"$basetexture" "rc/woodenfloor"
	"$surfaceprop" "Wood_Plank"
}

[HighdefGE]

Change "rc/woodenfloor" to "Luxury/woodenfloor"

Thank you, that did it!

Just for learning, what does that "rc" mean?

Looks like that was the folder it was in when you created that vmt.

[PetruZ-]

Strange since I do not know any folder named rc.

Well..if you downloaded the textures, they would have been the default path for the person who created them.
