importing textures

[Mr. Waffles]

ok, so i made 6 textures for my map, named nightsbk, ft, etc. and saved em as .vtf's..

where do i put them so i can use them in hammer?

do i need to use gcfscape?

You need to make VMTs for them, and stick all twelve files in ./Steam/SteamApps/<path to mod folder>/materials/skybox/.

...12 files? i htought there was just 6.. ft bk up dn lf rt ....what others is there?

 

[Mr. Waffles]

anyways..thanks a bunch for the tut ^_^

 

[Mr. Waffles]

hmmmmm..i tried doing that, but the textures come out as purple and black boxes, then dont show up ingame...is there a place where i can just like download them already made and ready? im trying to get a texture so the skybox is a dark blue and starry, like a starry night real late

Six VTFs, which constitute the sky images themselves. Six VMTs, which constitute the information on how those images should be used as textures. Six and six make twelve (but only in base 10!).

ooh lol ya..but it still only comes out as a no-image(purple and black squares >_>)
