 Re: overview css
Posted by Hawk on Sun Oct 23rd at 8:26am 2005

I need a tutorial for how to make an overview for CS:S. Ive looked in the docs that came with SDK but i only found a bad tutorial where they didnt explain how to use one of the vital programs, or even where to download it! Here?s some lines i didnt understand:
---------------------
Create the material files
1. Run "vtex.exe mapname.TGA" to create a matching .VTF texture file
----------------------
What the heck is vtex!?

Can someone please help me!?

It's a program that comes with the SDK. Located: "X:..SteamSteamApps..sourcesdkbin"

It's executed through the command line. Or a batch file. But command line is easier. (Start >> Run >> cmd)

Change directory to the one I specified earlier, to make things easier, make sure your tga file is in that same place (otherwise you'll have to define the entire path) and make sure to put it in quotes if there are spaces in the paths.


Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Make sure the directory is set to the mod your working on (eg: CSS) then place the material in:
X:Program FilesValveSteamSteamAppsYournamesourcesdk_contentcstrikematerialsrc. Then take the .tga and drag it over the vtex.exe in:
X:..SteamSteamApps..sourcesdkbin
and it will generate the .vtf
