- Back when making animated textures worked for me, all I did was drag the .txt file to the vtex.exe that's in the "Program Files\Steam\steamapps\***EMAIL***\sourcesdk\bin\ep1". So I had two windows. One with the .tga and the .txt files in it, and the other with the vtex.exe in it. I never did anything special to the .exe or make a shortcut to it.
- The .txt file should be like this: Say you have 4 .tga files for the 4 frames of your animated texture. The TGAs are saved like so: image000, image001, image002, image003. So, all that needs to be in the .txt is:
startframe "0"
endframe "3"
And the .txt must be named the same as the above TGA images, only without the three numbers at the end.
- The path should be as follows: you'll have the main materials folder in your cstrike/materials directory. That will have a specific name, in my case: absurdtextures. Then, i'll need another "absurdtextures" folder in the
Program Files\Steam\steamapps\***EMAIL***\sourcesdk_content\cstrike\materialsrc
directory, which is where your TGA images and the .txt must be stored before dragging it to the vtex.exe.
That should be it. I have no idea why it's not working for me. I have a suspicion that it has something to do with the recent split of engine-specific tools in the seperate folders. It used to work just fine before then.
There used to be a signature here, but it's gone now.
And yeah, the Noob Cube room is exactly as I intended it.
