Decals show up local but not running in server

Hi,

Been looking here and also in server related forums but found nothing yet.

I have a decal in my counterstrike source map that is visible in hammer and when i run the map localy (create server in counterstrike) it is visible.

When i run the map on my dedicated server i can not see the decal.

If i delete the map and all related files from my machine and run the map on the (remote) server i do not see the decal. If i then run the map localy i see it so it is in the server BSP.

The texture is embedded with pakrat, as is the nav and the txt and they all show/work when i run the map from the server.

Map comiles without errors, server loads the maps without errors and client runs map without errors.

Thanks for your time

Server decal limit maybe?

Hi,

Reading my own post one thing is not clear it's a custom decal my friend made.

Now after some more testing i found this out.

• I clear my pc of the map, the decal texture, etc etc etc so no trace of the map on my machine.
• I then play the map on my server and the decal is not visible
• I then play the map localy on my machine using the bsp i just downloaded from the server, decal is visible
• I the play the map on my server again and the decal is visible!!

???? what the ???? so the decal is in there but somehow the first time i load it from server it's not available or something weird.

Ok did some more testing.

I changed it to a texture and if i apply the texture to a brush it shows first time round so it's either that decals don't load first time or i messed up the decal stuff.

Let you know if i find out more
