where can i find the vmt
i've edited it for you and just put it into your material folder in gmod and it should pop up in materials
next time get GCFScape and open any dir.vpk on hl2 and find any vmts you need and edit the material type to LightmappedGeneric
nocturne forum

nocturne forum
but its a model texture and i want to use it on a brush
proven summit
no matter what reason of model/brush/effects it's same way
nocturne forum
why it not show up normaly then
proven summit
why it not show up normaly then
because props and or model materials has material types called "VertexLitGeneric"
it doesnt work on brushes
the materials you see in Hammer has material types called "LightmappedGeneric"
proven summit
but there is 2 base textures in that
if materials has // before any codes or anything it's commented out aka ignored
nocturne forum
what about texture2?
proven summit
"$basetexture" "models/props_lab/cornerunit_cloud"
"$texture2" "models/props_lab/cornerunit_cloud"
they're the same thing and the texture2 are only used for UnlitTwoTexture material types
