problem with vtex

[xdiesp]

my vtex doesn't want to convert a TGA to VTF with the $nolod parameter active. I have the TGA file in \sprays\ (nothing else inside) and they I run vtex this way:

vtex.exe -mkdir -shader UnlitGeneric -vmtparam $vertexcolor 1 -vmtparam $vertexalpha 1 -vmtparam $ignorez 1 -vmtparam $no_fullbright 1 -vmtparam $nolod 1 hl2\materialsrc\sprays\*.tga

so that the VTF is created along a VMT file that tells:

"UnlitGeneric"
{
"$baseTexture" "console/background01"
"$vertexcolor" "1"
"$vertexalpha" "1"
"$ignorez" "1"
"$no_fullbright" "1"
"$nolod" "1"
}
however,when I run HL2,the background is still texture quality dependant. What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance for your help.

try the $nomip switch in ur txt file too
and u dont put the nolod in ur vmt. u put it in the txt file that vtex creates. then use the txt file instead of the tga to compile and why would u compile a spray this way, when u cna simply import one directly in the game.

thereisaspoon: I added both the nomip and the txt to my command line,but the results are the same. Note I'm using the original valve background01.vmt file renamed txt,so maybe I'm ignoring something basilar! http://ludus1942.ngi.it/files/background01.txt Look,if you want an easy place in the credits for a little unknown mod,the file is this ^_^'' http://ludus1942.ngi.it/files/background01.tga

sigh,let's hope no one will lower the texture resolution to low! :\
