Custom texture sound file.

I have made some textures for my alpha-stage map and I need to have them refer to the proper sound byte. In HL1 there was materials.txt located in the sound file.

After looking all over the place for the solution I have come up empty. Anyone wanna point me in the right direction?

Theyre in surfaceproperties.txt, in the materials folder (I think). They dont refer to .wav files tho, you may have to define your sound files or something.

OK....you didn't really get the question right, but your response gave me what I needed to find what I was looking for. What helped me was the filename.

First....you have to use VTFexplorer.

Two....it is in source engine.gcf/hl2/scripts folder.

I just googled for 'surfaceproperties.txt' and the answer came right up :smile:

Thanks :smile:

Shoot. Nevermind....didn't help at all. The file had nothing to do with textures.

Anyone know how to find what I needed?

if you mean you want your new material to have the right sounds for footsteps, bullet impacts etc, then you need to add a "$surfaceprop" line to your materials .vmt file. (for a model, the same line would go into the .qc file)

"$surfaceprop" "wood" would tell the engine your texture is wood, and sounds, bullethole decals etc are all generated accordingly.

there are lots of other surfaceprops available. opening the model viewer and hitting the 'bones' tab, you will see a drop-down list titled 'bone surface properties'. it's a list of all the alternatives to using wood (my example).

I am humbled by thy expertise. Thanks Fishy. What is the default sound....I can't quite tell. Is it wood or concrete?

i think the defaults are meant to be like hard dirt.
