making grass

[o_eradicatus]

Im trying to get some grass on the dirt displacement map I have, how do I do that? do I have to include some new commands in the vmt file?

[Defrag]

Use a texture with "blend" in the name, then use the paint alpha command.

That only blends two textures, I was thinking of the sprite grass

Yeh I noticed it doesnt show up on displacements Eradicatus. What I did for the yard on Uno was have the displacements coming down from the rocks to look pretty. Then underneath that I had some quite square looking func_details with the same texture that kindve poked through the displacements. The func_details generated a bit of grass and Im quite happy with the results. Maybe there is a way of getting displacements to add the sprites but I havent seen it yet.

I believe certain blend_ textures will automatically add the detail grass.

There is a way to do it. There's a tutorial on the snarkpit showing how to create a text file and a texture to automatically place details I think :o If not there, somewhere else.

"%detailtype" "grass01"

I just put that in the nature/dirt texture, renamed the .vmt and smacked it in the maps material folder.

anyways, map is ready to be compiled, but this (http://forums.fortress-forever.com/viewtopic.php?t=731) is in the way :cry:
