Sorry for the gay kinda topic - but I was just wondering if people would liek to list some of the good textures they have come accross while making hl2(dm) maps. At the moment I'm only sticking to the few decent ones I've got, so if anyone wants to - list good textures and what sort of texture it is here!

I wont take offence if u delete this post smiley

Ok, uh, let's see here

a) there are a LOT of textures
b) textures are used for so many different things, it's hard to say what a good texture is, without specifying, say, a category or something
c) some "bad" textures may look quite nice in the right situation
d) the quality/usefulness of a texture is very subjective

You didn't specify if you meant default textures from hl2 or custom textures.

"obviously" indeed. While he should be more specific, I'm guessing he's referring to stock textures...much easier to use anyway than custom texs.

I'm all about custom textures, but for my first HL2 map I'll probably stick to the stock stuff.

Certainly the HL2 texture selection is much better than the crap we got for HL1 lol

In terms of custom textures, though... I suspect 1024x1024 custom textures will be much harder to come by, so we really do need to share what info on them we can.
