How do i use vtf2tga? Theres a material that i want to change but i need to convert it to tga first, do i use comand prompt or can i use it putting stuff in the shortcut?

Ive tried opening the vtf with the program but nothing happened. [addsig]

Open a command prompt (start ? run ? "cmd"), browse to your sdk directory (there's a Windows XP power tool which lets you nav straight there), and type:

vtf2tga -i texturename.vtf -o output.tga

(Note the output bit is optional). It's easy if you copy VTF files (after extracting?) to your sourcesdk/bin directory so you don't need to worry about file paths too.

Another thing I believe is that you don't need the extension on the output file because it adds that for you.
