Hammer settings to get another materials folder

zE · 12-07-2009, 09:44 PM

Anyone know how to change in Hammer options, to get the materials from other folder, instead of fortressforever/materials.

The reason for this is because i trow custom textures into my ff/materials folder, so i can use them in hammer, and sometimes it copy over ff stuff and it sucks a bit having this textures missing ingame and etc cuse it copyed over.

Put them in a subfolder, like materials\zE. You will have to edit the vmt files so that it can work, though.

Or put your custom textures in HL2's materials folder. They will then work in ff.

I have 2 different Material folders. When i'm mapping i use my own material map folder. When i'm playing FF i use the default one.
zE, just copypaste your material folder in the same FF directory. Just change the name of one of them like, Materials1 and Materials
when youre mapping you change the name etc etc..

Good luck,

Cheers
