Will check later

yes still transparent

still transparent?

I'll have to do some debugging then.

Still doesn't work, just transparent

Verify the data cache

I tried this, and now the manhole is just totally invisible.

Mine too!

oreo is my favorite

Now with video!

Thanks for the tip!

Ha. Nice.
I'd suggest adding "cookie" somewhere in this description if you're concerned about it appearing in the search.
That link of yours may work better if you remove the parentheses, btw.

Nice, hey remove that link please to my N.Y. Sewer manhole cover. Steam thinks it's fishy, just say Thanks to Tя!cky ツ instead. Also I'm not a dude, I'm a Chick

Thanks!

Lookin' good man :)

Thanks!
New Version is UP! Be sure to check it out for a good Oreo Eatin' time!

Hope it helps :D

I will test that out posthaste and update the mod accordingly.

If I understand your problem, I'd edit out all references to the envmap
or comment them out with "// " like so.

VertexLitGeneric
{
$baseTexture "models\props_street/manhole_cover"
$surfaceprop metal
// $envmap env_cubemap
// $normalmapalphaenvmapmask 1
// $envmaptint "[.7 .7 .7]"
$bumpmap "models\props_street\manhole_cover_normal"
// vertexlitgeneric_HDR_dx9
// {
// $envmaptint "[.5 .5 .5]"
// }
}

Basically, envmaps are used to create the impression of reflectivity, like on glass and such.
That said I checked 'em out in game and they didn't look slimy to me :P

Thanks Man! If I can figure out how to make it not look slimy with that and update the file I will!

Marvelous, this'll go great with the various fast-food SI

Also, the VMT is a file that has a bunch of info for the game on how to display the VTF images
It changes everything from how shiny it is, to how glowy it is, to how see-through it is.
It can also be used to reference different VTFs entirely, which is useful for more complex mods.

And welcome to the l4d2 workshop :D
