/>How to add a custom texture to your map.bsp?
/>
/>
/>
/>STEP 1
)
/>
/>First at all you need a map, in my example i made a little box with just a info_player_start in it.
/>
/>
/>
/>
/>
/>STEP 2
)
/>
/>Now you need a custom texture in your map, in my example i use the smiley and replaced one wall in my box with it.
/>
/>
/>
/>
/>
/>STEP 3
)
/>
/>You can compile your map now and test it and you will see the custom texture.
.
.
/>
/>
/>
/>
/>
/>STEP 4
)
/>
/>
.
.
.
BUT if you want to share your map with other players only you can see it, all the others will see this.
/>
/>
/>
/>
/>
/>STEP 5
)
/>
/>You need Pakrat to put your custom texture into the
.bsp so other player can see the texture too.
Download Pakrat here:
!DOWNLOAD!/>Unzip it in any folder you want and open the pakrat.jar
(You need Java to start Pakrat, read the README for more informations)
/>
/>
/>
/>
/>
/>STEP 6
)
/>
/>Pakrat will automatically open the browser, if not use File/Load BSP.
Now search for your map
[1], in my example it's cg_howto01.bsp and open it.
[2]/>
/>
/>
/>
/>
/>STEP 7
)
/>
/>On a normal map without any custom stuff should be only 2 files
(cubemapdefault)
.
Press AUTO now.
/>
/>
/>
/>
/>
/>STEP 8
)
/>
/>In my example the Auto Scan found 3 files.
Press YES.
/>
/>
/>
/>
/>
/>STEP 9.1
)
/>
/>You will see now the smiley.vmt and smiley.vtf in the list, the
.ain file is an automatically generated file.
You can now save your BSP with File/Save BSP.
/>
(Info:
If you have much more custom stuff you should maybe press Auto again and save again so long until the scan find nothing anymore)
/>
/>
/>
/>
/>
/>STEP 9.2
)
/>
/>Save
(overwrite)
your
.bsp! Now your map is ready for multiplayer and all player can see your custom texture.
/>
(Pakrat will not only add textures to your map, it's also for sounds, models, soundscapes and all the other things what you can use in a map)/>
