Model checkered in Hammer

[Sexy Frog]

Snagged a model and tried slapping it in hammer, but it's doing the purple black checker texture.

Mapping with HL2 EP2. Pretty sure everything's in the right place, I think.

Pretty sure the .vmt's are how they should be, I think.

"VertexLitGeneric"
{
	"$basetexture" "materials/models/dbdoor/ruinsdoor01"
	"$surfaceprop" "concrete"
}

"VertexLitGeneric"
{
	"$basetexture" "materials/models/dbdoor/dbdoor01"
	"$surfaceprop" "concrete"
}

And I'm pretty sure the .qc is okay, probably, I think.

$ModelName "dbdoor.mdl"
$body studio "dbdoor.smd"
$collisionmodel	"dbdoor.smd" 
	{ 
		$concave 
	}
$staticprop
$SurfaceProp "concrete"
$Contents "solid"
$CDMaterials "materials\models\dbdoor"
$sequence idle	"dbdoor.smd" // no animation wanted, so re-using the reference mesh

Am I just retarded, or am I missing something?

$CDMaterials "materials\models\dbdoor"

And the texture is named

dbdoor01

EDIT: Yeah, you're right. It doesn't really matter and I can't find a problem with the vmts.

[Sexy Frog]

hmm...lemme check on that. see if it does anything

edit: I don't think that really matters all that much. That's the name file the materials are in. Or am I thinking about it wrong?

Might sound like a stupid question but did you actually assign the VTFs to the model in your model editor?

[Sexy Frog]

Yes, but I'm working with 3ds max 2016 so I cannot use .vtf files directly as textures and all plugins related to that are for 2012 and older. So I saved the .vtf's as .tga and then applied them. Originally they were .dds files.

Could you send me the model file as a .max and the textures with it?
I wanna try something and see if that would work.

Had to recompile the prop and remake the vmts.

Sent you the updated files in DMs

Can you explain exactly what you did? I'm going to be porting over quite a few more models and I don't want to keep running into the same issue! I'd really appreciate it!

I have exported the vtfs and vmts through Wallworm and compiled it at the same time.

I watched the video on exporting vtf's and vmt's on the wallworm website, but whenever I try to export them they pop up in the directory as a series of .tga's, .txt's and .bats. Not a vtf or vmt in sight.

The material name in Max needs to be the same as the vmt name. Basically $cdmaterial is the directory it looks in, and then it tries to load a VMT file with the name of the material.
