Rain in HL2 ?

[WaterWolf]

Hello,

Whenever I load up a map with a rain entity with HL2 it complains it can't find the rain or snow material and all I get is purple streaks falling from the sky. Is rain supposed to work or is it just for counterstrike ? Is there a way to get it to work in HL2 ?

i think you have to have a direct x 9 card to render it correctly

says that there is no rain texture in hl2. Maybe if there is one in CS:S you could extract it and use it in hl2 maps. Either that or make one yourself.
