#Garrys mod textures download#
However, you will need to purchase and download (possibly) Counter Strike: Source and Team Fortress 2 for a lot of the textures and other game objects. When releasing your map you only need to include the VMT and VMF files in the garrysmod/garrysmod/materials/ mapname folder.Technically - you do not need to purchase anymore games. Because the files are all in a folder with the name of your map you should find it by searching the name.
If this is all correct start Source SDK and choose Garry’s Mod for the Current Game.* Launch Hammer and Browse for the name of your map.
įirst we need to import our Targa from the garrysmod/garrysmod/materials/mapname folder.Ĭlick Import and browse to the Targa file and open it. VTFEdit is better because there are more options to choose from.

Step 5: Using VTFEdit or picture editing software with a VTF plug-in turn the Targa into a VTF and put it in the garrysmod/garrysmod/materials/mapname folder. Step 4: Create a blank text file with the same name as your texture name and put it in the garrysmod/garrysmod/materials/mapname folder These are sizes accepted by Hammer and Valve in general.
Choose "24-bit" for the Bit Depth and un-check "Compress (RLE)." (If your texture has transparency or an Alpha-Channel you need to save it in "32-bit.") Before you save make sure you resize the image to 64圆4, 128x128, 256x256, 512x512, or 1024x1024. When you save the Targa you are prompted with a box like the one below. Photoshop or paint.NET can save an image as a Targa (I am using Paint.NET). Step 3: Put the texture you want in the garrysmod/garrysmod/materials/mapname folder in Targa format. Step 2: Create a folder named the same as the map you are making the texture for in the “ materials” folder. Step 1: Create a “materials” folder in your garrysmod/garrysmod folder, if it does not already exist. Improvement can be discussed on the talk page.
