Problem with vmf hacking.

[campweed]

Hey.

I followed the tutorial on how to edit the vmf files to add transparency (Which can be found here http://www.mpcforum.com/showthread.php?t=152879 (here) ). I then decompiled the map breakfloor (which uses the concreteceiling001a texture) and used this in it.
"unlitGeneric"
{
// Original shader: BaseTimesLightmap
"$basetexture" "Concrete/concreteceiling001a"
"$surfaceprop" "glass"
"$translucent" "1"
"%keywords" "c17downtown,c17industrial"
}

I then made a folder in the cstrike\materials directory called "breakfloor". I tried the map, but it didn't work. So I also tried just placing the the edited vtf and vmf in the materials directory, which didn't work either.

I found the texture file in source materials.ccf under materials/concrete . Since I didn't find it in the CSS gcf, would that mean that it isn't compatable?

If any of you would know what I'm doing wrong, please tell me. Thanks.

i don't think breakfloor concrete texture is original, so there's no need to create a folder for it, as you said you got it from materials/concrete, create the folder concrete and put it there

any luck?

(i have never edited materials btw :nervous: )

Thanks. That worked...sorta. The fullbright materials worked, but for some reason it wasn't transparent.

Put both files in the new directory.

[campweed]

that's what i did first.

I've got the same problem. Halp halp!

[campweed]

I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong, so I just found some glass materials in the "counter strike source shared.cgf" file, renamed them to concreteceiling001a.vtf and concreteceiling001a.vmf which worked perfectly.
