Fortress Forever Textures

Garland-W · 11-01-2008, 06:01 PM

Hey
I was just wondering about the FF textures. Did you make them all by yourself or did you also borrow from Half-life 2? I was particularly wondering about the 2fort textures, I can't seem to find all textures used in ff_2fort in the FF/materials folder. Am I just missing them or are not all of them there?

We use a lot of HL2 textures; some maps have more custom art than others but any time there's a suitable texture from HL2 we use that.

Because HL2 is required to play, we have ready access to all models and textures from that game.

Thanks. Using VTF Explorer, in which folder can I find the half-life 2 textures? I can't seem to find them.

First you need to get a program called GCFScape
( all the HL files are packed away in .GCF format, this is why you need GCFScape )

Once you find the files you are looking for, you can extract them, and then place them in the correct path in your FF folder, if you edit them.

And how do you know the correct path?

Edit: Never mind, I figured it out.

Further questions: Did you use only textures that you made yourselves and from Half-life 2 or do you have additional textures to that?

And where can I view prop-textures? There are some in the hl2 materials folder but there must be more.

Open up your SteamApps folder , then use GCFScape to open the "Source Materials" GCF . Once in there find materials/models or materials/props . Lots of props and things in there.
