Help adding Custom Textures

[sniperrat]

I can't figure out how to add custom texture into my map. I tried google already and the sites that would have the info are dead links.

Convert your texture into a VMT/VTF format with VTFEdit (Google Nems Tools)

Pop it in the right folder you put in the VMT folder (Where you saved it), and it will load in hammer.

I have that from Nems Tools and crafty. It is in that format but I don't know were in the hell I put the files.

<root>/materials/<what dir you want hammer to see>.vmt
<root>/materials/<see base texture line in the vmt>.vtf

root were. were would root be on the Hard drive.
ex.
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\Account Name\day of defeat source\dod\materials
or
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\Account Name\sourcesdk_content\dod\materialsrc

I just started dealing with custom textures in Hammer 4.1
