JPEG to VMT ?

[parkour freak]

is this possible?

 

[n3XusSLO]

is it so hard to convert it to TGA? :afro:

 

[Dodo]

paint only saves as .bmp and .jpeg ...

-dodo

 

[Unarmed]

True. There therefore there will never be any good textures, we will only have mediocre ones.

 

[Kester^]

Why would you want to turn a jpeg into a text document?

 

[Unarmed]

ASCII textures.

 

[mindless_moder]

hahha ... use a program like irfanview or gimp (freeware) to convert the jpg to tga then use a tga to VTF converter. if you're painting your textures in paint you have MUCH bigger problems at hand..

 

[Dodo]

paint ftw ! :imu:

-dodo

 

[Shinobi]

yeah if you have no $ get gimp, even if just for the graphic conversions


for the most part you dont want to make a compressed format a vmt

 

[Kester^]

You dont' want to make anything but a txt document into a vmt. Please learn your formats.

Now where is the fun in that?

I"m pretty sure he met vtf

met perhaps but they didn't seem to make friends since he can't remember properly.

I want to convert it for a env_screenoverlay and i cant find any way to do it...like convert my own picture.

I think the only way to compile an image into a texture is if it's in TGA format, but it's been a while since I've compiled any so I'm not completely sure. This link explains the compile process for materials and might help you out.

Simple

Just Download VTFEDIT: http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/index.php?p=41 , Then you import your image, and then save your .bmp, .jpg, etc. as a .VTF(Valve texture file)

Now, put the .VTF in:
# \Steam\steamapps\(your username)\team fortress 2\tf\materials\VGUI\logos

# Then you convert your .vtf file into a .vmt trough VTFEDIT and put the the converted file here:
# \Steam\steamapps\(your username)\team fortress 2\tf\materials\VGUI\logos\UI

Check if you not had disable the spray feature, should works fine.

Lolwut? You don't "convert your .vtf file into a .vmt" they're seperate files, damn it!
