HL2 has like no medieval textures. This makes it rather frustrating to try and create medieval themed stuffs with the stock textures. (Though I think I've done rather well so far )

I think CS:S has a little more of the type of thing I want, and I was wondering how I would go about getting those textures into hammer, and what I would have to do so I could run the map in HL2 w/o problems.

I'm pretty sure theres some program that can package everything into the .bsp itself and thus HL2 or w/e can just grab everything it needs outta there.

I know someone has a texture pack they hosted. I have it, but could'nt get it to work, and wasnt sure if they had bump mapping, or w/e the hell its called.

IF u've still got that texture pack shove the folder with everything in ur_account/half-life2/hl2/materials

then restart hammer if u've got it on already, should work then.

The folder named "cncr04s" or all the sub folders into materials?

Also... does anyone remember how to lock the angle when you rotate stuff? It's painfully irritating to have it as free rotate and have to line it up perfectly.

You put the cncr04s folder in materials. Keep the sub folders in the cncr04s folder.

So I have this peice of displacement, and I only want a peice of it, but I want it to maintain its triangle-to-size ratio. If i carve it, it fits all the tri's I carved out into the part I have left, thus its really as if I just resized the whole thing.

if you want use css texture,u have to do a mod for css,or people who are gonna play at mss have to have css...
It's a mod hl2,then just t ry to find one guys with ph otoshop to make the texture files with the picture i sent...

 

[Solid Shadow]

Crow, I really hope you don't mean CARVE when you say "carve"...
And afaik, "carving" it to size wont yield the same results as a resize, unless its a plain surface.

Lets just say when Crow gets angry, Crow does things he shouldn't.

Anyways... I can tell this will need screenshots to explain. Right now I have hw to do, so it'll have to wait.

I bet 3/4 of this commuintiy does not have dod:s, as it sucks so much.

Besides, you're not allowed to take the textures from any HL2 .gcf and use them in a mod. It's copywrite infringement and it's stated on the Valve Dev Community wiki.

then I can think of a couple hundred mods out there that have broken the law

I'm almost certain that rule means you can't SELL their textures for use in a mod. Otherwise, why would you be able to use them all in the Source SDK?

 

[CrazyMonkeyDude]

Maybe this guy

can tell you wether it's illegal or not.

 

[tehrilez]

he can

 

[The Man In Black]

Rilez, how many pictures of fat police officer's crotches do you have on your computer?

 

[CrazyMonkeyDude]

Probobly about as many different pictures of this guy he has on his computer.

 

[Crow]

Well I found out how to... do what it was I wanted to do.


Subdivide is a picky b!tch.

You can steal textures from other mods and, ya maybe nobody will catch you. But, when someone does notice, your mod loses a bit of credulity. Besides, why steal textures when there are plenty of sources for free textures. VDC has this page listing a load of free textures:

Also, there are the cncr04s texture releases:
