#

not sure if anyone can help me with this but i'm having this weird issue with hammer++, in hammer++ some objects have missing textures or appear as errors but the same objects have no issues in normal hammer, I've been trying to fix this for hours with no luck.

#

#

first pic is hammer++, second is normal gmod hammer

Are you using csgo content for your map?

spark mauve Oct 23, 2022, 6:39 PM

#

nope

brazen sonnet Oct 23, 2022, 6:40 PM

#

Ok and you are mapping for gmod using hammer++?

#

Which game is hammer++ in?

#

May I also ask where those textures are from?

spark mauve Oct 23, 2022, 6:41 PM

#

you mean the hammerplusplus exe?

#

or this

#

brazen sonnet Oct 23, 2022, 6:41 PM

#

Hammer++.exe

mellow root Oct 23, 2022, 6:41 PM

#

the issue is hammer++ isn't made for gmod so can't read vtf version 7.5

spark mauve Oct 23, 2022, 6:42 PM

#

i tried downgrading the vtf's

mellow root Oct 23, 2022, 6:42 PM

#

assuming they are mounted properly you just need to downgrade the textures

spark mauve Oct 23, 2022, 6:42 PM

#

didn't work

brazen sonnet Oct 23, 2022, 6:42 PM

#

Used vtfver?

spark mauve Oct 23, 2022, 6:42 PM

#

brazen sonnet Hammer++.exe

source sdk 2013 multiplayer

mellow root Oct 23, 2022, 6:42 PM

#

are the textures in gmod's folders?

spark mauve Oct 23, 2022, 6:42 PM

#

brazen sonnet Used vtfver?

yea

spark mauve Oct 23, 2022, 6:43 PM

#

mellow root are the textures in gmod's folders?

i also tried placing the textures on the <game>/materials folder and it also didn't work

mellow root Oct 23, 2022, 6:43 PM

#

okay slow down

#

what is the set up you want

#

where are the textures

spark mauve Oct 23, 2022, 6:45 PM

#

it's a gma that i unpacked on a separate folder and mounted it on the gameconfig.txt file

mellow root Oct 23, 2022, 6:45 PM

#

you're not going to be able to mount that to source 2013 unless its unpacked

#

so you need to pick somewhere to put the textures/materials if you want them in source 2013/hammer++

spark mauve Oct 23, 2022, 6:50 PM

#

so i should place the textures in the <Game Directory>/materials folder?

mellow root Oct 23, 2022, 6:50 PM

#

you can

#

there are several things you could do, that would work

spark mauve Oct 23, 2022, 6:52 PM

#

i already tired doing that, also didn't work

mellow root Oct 23, 2022, 6:52 PM

#

i can't help you if you don't have the example in front of you

#

because I can't tell you how you did it incorrectly

brazen sonnet Oct 23, 2022, 6:53 PM

#

Could it be that the vmt is pointing to a path where the vtf isnt in?

#

Are you putting in the textures randomly?

mellow root Oct 23, 2022, 6:53 PM

#

maybe a solar ray hit the PC

spark mauve Oct 23, 2022, 6:54 PM

#

so, my current setup is this

mellow root Oct 23, 2022, 6:54 PM

#

uh

#

the paths don't match up there

#

spark mauve Oct 23, 2022, 6:54 PM

#

ah, wrong one

#

brazen sonnet Oct 23, 2022, 6:55 PM

#

Check the vmt and make sure it points to the place where the vtf is in

spark mauve Oct 23, 2022, 6:56 PM

#

brazen sonnet Could it be that the vmt is pointing to a path where the vtf isnt in?

can't be cuz they work on normal hammer

mellow root Oct 23, 2022, 6:56 PM

#

which gameinfo is this

brazen sonnet Oct 23, 2022, 6:56 PM

#

spark mauve can't be cuz they work on normal hammer

Right forgot...

spark mauve Oct 23, 2022, 6:57 PM

#

mellow root which gameinfo is this

it's in a separate folder

mellow root Oct 23, 2022, 6:57 PM

#

sec

brazen sonnet Oct 23, 2022, 6:57 PM

#

So the gameinfo.txt that mounts the assets isnt in the game folder?

spark mauve Oct 23, 2022, 6:59 PM

#

no but it shouldn't matter right?

#

the map compiles fine

mellow root Oct 23, 2022, 6:59 PM

#

shouldn't matter

#

assuming the paths are set up correctly

#

in the config

spark mauve Oct 23, 2022, 8:22 PM

Did you ever get it to work?
