textures not working what am i doing wrong

ive been tryin to make the texture in the tutorial for making textures
but i am having no luck...heres what i am doing. firstly i make a tga
file of the texture and put it into the folder custom tex which it says
to do, i put it into vtex and it goes to my counter-strike source\cstrike\materials folder and the blank text file is made i put the right stuff into it and save it as a vmt put them into the source\cstrike\materials folder and restart hammer. i load hammer up to see a purple n black cherckerboard texture instead of rock.. whats going rong?

it sounds like the vmt isn't pointing to where it should. post it's contents please.

i eat paint

"LightmappedGeneric"

{

"$baseTexture" "rock076"

}

still footering around and cant get it to work..

the vmt is fine, so if you have your new texture named as rock076.vtf, and have it in your counter-strike source\cstrike\materials folder, then it should be showing as more than purple cheques.

what tut was it that you followed?

darktrees one on this site..

i couldn't find one by darktree, so maybe you meant this one by darkdruid.

if you dragged your tga from the customtex folder as the tut says to do, then the resulting vtf will be created in a folder named customtex too. unless you moved it, then your vmt file should be;

"LightmappedGeneric"
{
"$baseTexture" "customtex/rock076"
}
