map textures not getting imported with the map

I can only find vmdlc files, i used both gcfscape and source2viewer, crowbar can't covert these files into pngs, maybe those aren't the textures?

here are the folders inside the de_nuke.vpk:
cubemaps, detailsystem, entities, lightmaps, worldnodes.

you dont need crowbar to convert it to png, you need VTFedit and there are two types of texture files in hl, VTF and VMT. VTF is texture itself, VMT is the script of this texture. all you have to do is open VPK hl2_tesxture_dir.vpk (it contains VTF textures in materials folder) and open them in VTFedit. After doing all of this you can now just export them as PNG files and thats it

How to import textures?

its pretty easy actually, just convert vtf to png and use this png texture on model, that method works if you want to use this texture in blender, now if you want to use the texture on fully ready model which is imported into a hammer/game then you have to make new folder in materials and call it models

My example
D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\materials\models\[material folder name (it can be any name you want)]

now the name of the texture in folder should be same as the name of the texture in blender otherwise prop will be without texture in game.

Hope that helps ya

Blender Blockout Assist?

You need software called crowbar and you need two 3D models, one is actuall model and the other one is a collision, and also you need source tools for blender. You have to export model and collision model as SMD and then make "qc" file, qc file ia basically a script for model, after all of that, compile your model in crowbar and done. Also about texture of model, the name of the texture in the game files should be same as a name of that same texture in blender, hope that helps.

QC compile error

can you give some more info? (screenshots, logs etc)

2

Some of vertices merge on export, no idea why

what do you mean by "vertices are in the same position and on export they merge"? can you show screenshots?

[SOLVED]Unable to write QC compile to SD card on Steam Deck.

maybe you should enter desktop mod, I can't really tell, don't have steamdeck sry

need help with collisions

I fixed this collision problem, i just added thickness to every face in blender and it worked:p

$maxconvexpieces 50 (or some even bigger number)

by default, the limit of individual pieces a collision model has is 20, and if there are more than that, then it just falls back to shrinkwrapping the mesh as one big convex piece.. but that can be overridden to be significantly more.
