I'm Stupid Please Help (Because I'm American, Right?)

Hey guys. Long time no post.


I'd like to know how hard it would be for someone to replace the ground texture on gm_atomic with snow, perhaps the texture from CS:S? That'd be nice.


Also, I've never even wanted to go near Source SDK. Might get an STD SDK.



So yeah. Sorry if I'm not too specific, I can be as specific as you want, baby .

You might be able to replace it using Lua, which would mean you don't have to go through the process of trying to get the VMF off of the creator.

Or you can find the texture the ground uses, then make a snow texture with the same name, and just stick it into your materials folder at same path, so it will override the default one.

It'll Look shite cause the map uses Blend textures too, you'll have to get a few replacements.
This will most likely be easier with Lua, that way the whole server will see the change too.

I have team of coders and a blank check, gentlemen.


How would I go about using this fancy thing you refer to as Lua to make the fancy sand dunes into fancy snow dunes.

[Donkie]

How in earth could you manipulate textures using lua without any module?

[thingshappen]

Like so:

local mat = Material( "The/material/on/the/map" );
local met = Material( "your/material" );
mat:SetMaterialTexture( "$basetexture", met:GetMaterialTexture"$basetexture" );
mat:SetMaterialTexture( "$bumpmap", met:GetMaterialTexture"$bumpmap" ); //If the map material doesn't have a bumpmap, then remove this line. If it does, make sure your one does!

(Runs on the client)

Lua god prevails!

[Sona]

And Donkie remains speechless...

[Donkie]

What, lol.

[Soul-Chicken]

Like so:
( "The/material/on/the/map" )

Sorry but that it is not a valid texture.

[Dotmister]

Like so:
( "The/material/on/the/map" )

Sorry but that it is not a valid texture.

I think you've been on FP a little too long there Dot, Xuras doesn't have an informative button
