My custom texture is not showing up Hammer

As the title says, I can not, for the life of me, get my texture to
show in Hammer. I followed
darkdruids
tutorial exactly as he did it, but it won't show.

Here are the things I have done so you guys don't suggest them.

1. The texture is in a power of 2. Its 512 x 512.

2. I have the rock076.vmt and the rock076.vtf in my counter-strike source\cstrike\materials\customtex folder.

3. This is what my rock076.vmt looks like:

<pre>"LightmappedGeneric"

{

"$basetexture" "customtex/rock076"

}

4<span style="font-family: verdana;">. My rock076.tga is in my sourcesdk_content\cstrike\materialsrc\customtex folder.

5. When I ran the rock076.tga in the vtex program, I got no errors from it. It created the rock076.vtf just fine.

6. Am I missing something here?

I don't know what else to do. So I am turning to you guys for some answers.
</span></pre>

i had the same problem..try putting the rock076.tga into
<pre><span style="font-family: verdana;">sourcesdk_content\cstrike\materialsrc
</span></pre>
<div style="text-align: justify;">and then run vtex. This will make the vtf and create a blank doc for your vmt ignore that delete the txt and go to your

counter-strike source\cstrike\materials

folder and ur vft will be there now back up and go into

<span style="font-weight: bold;">counter-strike source\cstrike\materials\sample1

</span>there
should be a vmt there copy it and put it into your materials folder
rename it to rock076 and open it with notepad change the name and other
things from

"lightmappedGeneric"

{

"$baseTexture" "sample1/sample1"

"%keywords" "cstrike"

"$surfaceprop" "dirt"

}

to

"lightmappedGeneric"

{

"$baseTexture" "rock076"

"%keywords" "cstrike"

"$surfaceprop" "stone"

}

save and restart hammer and it should show up

</div>

Awesome! Thank you so much! It worked. I would mark your answer correct
but you didn't set it up that way. Go edit your message so I can mark
it correct.

so does cs use the customtex folder as the root folder for any material not in the gcf file or something?

it's just that, normally, if your texture is in materials/customtex, then the vmt would say so. something like;

"lightmappedGeneric"
{
"$baseTexture" "customtex/rock076"
"%keywords" "cstrike"
"$surfaceprop" "stone"
}

[edit] ah, sorry smidsy, i hadn't noticed you saying to put the vtf in the materials folder.
