I didn't see any answers to this here, and I won't post a tutorial since I didn't figure this out myself, but I'm posting this here to help out some people who are interested.

Anyway, the default texturing within the Orange box hammer is very low res... the letters are almost impossible to make out on the trigger brushes, etc.

To fix this, do the following:

1. Use GCFScape to open "SteamSteamAppsbase source engine 2.gcf" and locate bindxsupport.cfg

2. Extract that file to SourceSDKbinorangeboxbin

3. edit the file and change the line
"ConVar.mat_picmip" "2"
to
"ConVar.mat_picmip" "-1"

4. Restart Hammer

Cool, thanks for sharing that.

I think the textures are low res in Hammer for performance purposes.
