hay, im new at this whole thing and i
have no idea what i am doing so i was wondering if any one could help
me. i used GCF scape and VTF Explorer to get a .tgatof
the skins of my players. now all i think i need to do is get them back
to a .VTF to put them back to were i got them and have the skins of my
players change, but im not sure. when i try converting the .tga to a
.vtf using the vtf.exe i found in the bin it says "Can't load C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\(username)\sourcesdk\bin\filesystem_steam.dll. Can't load C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\(username)\sourcesdk\bin\filesystem_steam.dll.

Hit a key to continue"

so all i want to know is how to get my tga's to vtf's or if i even have to or not.

or if i am totaly doing this rong, could i send the tga's and you could
send them back as vtf's or give me other things i could do

thx alot for all your help :wink: dy topmargin=2 leftmargin=2>

Make sure Steam and the SDK run in background. Restart everything. This seems to be a Steam system error, nothing specifically about the tga or vtfs.

HL2 and all source games need VTFs for textures.

Hope this helps.
