i am trying to place graffiti all over and it looks fine in hammer but when i load up the map ingame only some of them show,

eg: the decals of the trash will show up just fine on the floor

but the markings on the wall right next to it, wont

is there a special property to the textures that require the use of info_overlay instead of infodecal

they seem to do pretty much the same thing to me
the only problem with steam updating things every week is it doesent give the developers an incentive to playtest thier work, so we do it for them

any texture found under "decal" will work with both, if you have too
many infodecals in one area some may not show up. Also they dont
work well with displacments.

Try moving the decal a few units off the wall, or delete and re-apply them. If they still dont work, post your log.

overlays are more expensive than decals, so be careful to not place too many.
