There are so many parameters so i don't know where to begin.

Right now i have this in the vmt-file:

"LightmappedGeneric"
{
"$basetexture" "Metal/Metal1"
"$bumpmap" "Metal/Metal1_normal"
"$envmap" "env_cubemap"
"$envmaptint" "[.5 .5 .5]"
}

Is this enough for a shiny metal texture, like the walls in the citadel. Or is refract and stuff used?


Also right now the texture is getting heavily compressed so fine detail gets blurry.
I know that there is a command like "nocompress" but i don't know exactly where to use it. Just add it in a text file with the same name as the tga before vtex, or?
