textures, setup guide

when i serch for my textures in the setup guide i cant find them

i got c-strike so i could play tfc and i deleated c-strike so i the only things in my valve folder is steam and valve hammer

i made my map but it is all in 3d lines w/ no textures can some one help??

Could you explain that a bit more coherently? It's hard to follow what you're on about.

Press the camera button in the top left of the 3d line view and change the mode to '3d textured'.

^^^^^^Yup AS said it in a nut shell^^^^^^

He could also be trying to set hammer up with an outdated guide.
There's a tutorial for setting it up with steam here.

If you a texture wad file, then go to... (any SIERRA Folder)... example:

If you want Half-Life wad files (textures), you go to somewhere like:

C:\SIERRA\Half-life\vavle\wadname.

Wads must always be in a "\valve" folder, or else the game will crash.

Counter-Strike textures would be:

C:\SIERRA\Counter-Strike\cstrike\valve\wadname.

TFC textures would be:

C:\SIERRA\Counter-Strike\tfc\wadname. (exception with the valve folder thing)

or

C:\SIERRA\Half-Life\tfc\wadname. (once again, and exception.)

Help ya a bit?

Your tfc\counter-strike\half-life whatever games are NOT in your VALVE folder. They are in the SIERRA folder. (read the pathnames I gave you :smile: )



Wait... Alien answered your question... I think... About just your 3d colored line thing. If you're saying you can't find where your textures are, than this is one I am saying :smile:

ok i go there and it isn't there that is what i am saying i follow all the direcions and it is still not there

if you only have steam and hammer in your valve folder, and you have no normal old install of half-life, then you need use an extractor to get to the textures in the steam cache. go to http://countermap.counter-strike.net/Nemesis/index.php?c=76 , and get the extractor.

Wha'ts not there... the folders or the wad? (you said you deleted Counter-Strike, if you don't half life, and you delete c-s, then you shouldn't have tfc!)

the wad ^ and i didn't deleate/unistall c-strike i deleated the c-strike files (there was a folder named c-strike that had all the info to run c-strike and there was a folder for tfc, a folder for ricochet ...ect so i deleated the c-strike and ricochet and left the tfc folder)

tryed ^^ and nothing

Ok - I presume you have Steam installed, so the textures are hidden
away in there. If you want Counterstrike/Team Fortress/etc etc
textures, you will have to make sure they are installed with Steam (not
greyed out in your "Games" menu)

All your textures are locked up inside Steam cache files - if you want to get them, you will have to use GCFScape i'm afraid.

As fishy said, its located here

http://countermap.counter-strike.net/Nemesis/index.php?c=76#p76

BUT - you can't run GCFScape (as it states) without the .NET framework, available here

I can't say any more yet, i'm currently downloading GCFScape myself for
a project I am using it on - so i'll figure out how it works and post
up here when I know what to do :smile:

There is no need to install stuff to your GCF files seeing as you can just put them in the file structure of the folder so that you NEVER MESS WITH THE DEFAULTS. It helps problem solve much better and you can always fall back to the working set of files.

GCF scape works like pak scape... with one exception -- you EXTRACT files from the gcf, but can't IMPORT them into the gcf... pfft. Steam must be turned OFF to open up a gcf file.

????? i have no ida what that means

i downloaded the first but the 2<SUP>nd</SUP> says "We?re sorry, we were unable to service your request. As an option, you may visit any of the pages below for information about Microsoft services and products." so what do i do?

would it be easer to just reintall c-strike?

if youre just after the textures, yes - you can also get the half life
textures (you need certain ones like the SKY texture, CLIP and so
on...) off your CD :smile:

This is the easy option, but it will work :smile:

good and bad news the good is i got the textures

bad news is that i cant use the textures they dont go on the walls :sad:

can any one help me??? ^^^^

I have no idea what your last question means - in what way are they NOT
going on the walls? Do you get to select your textures in hammer? If
so, can you apply textures to faces in hammer? After doing this, do
they show up in the 3D view? Or is all this fine and the problem is
they don't show up in the game after you compile?

no what i am saying is that i do that but the textures dont show up on the 3d window

so what happens is i see the box in 3d lines no textures i try to apply a texture and nothing happens i see the face high-lighted i browse and apply and nothing happens

For future reference, always give as much detail as you can when asking
questions - the way you word something can vastly change what you are
actually asking.

Anyway, sounds like you just need to change the 3D view from "3D
wireframe" to "3D textured", which can be done by simply clicking the
name in the corner of the 3D section and selecting the respective
option from the drop down list.

yes that worked YAY

:smile: :smile: :biggrin:

That was the answer I gave on the first page and you marked wrong. :rolleyes:
