CS:GO Pls help with a glass texture

Remove the refractamount line. My guess is that refract is an expensive shader, thus is only available in high video settings.

If you really want your glass to be refractive (I don't think that's the case since there is no normalmap) you can put it in a LightmappedGeneric_DX9 clause or something. I'm not sure how that's actually done in CS:GO. Something like

"LightmappedGeneric_DX9" { "$refractamount" ".5" }

Should work. If it doesn't, try to find an expensive material that has a similar looking clause.

Have you tried increasing the $alpha value? 0.04 is 96% transparent.

1st option

Make a func_brush with this material:

Quote

Quote "Refract"

{

"$surfaceprop" "glass" "%tooltexture" "mamorex/glass/glass_d" //texture in Hammer

"$normalmap" "mamorex/glass/glass_n" "$refracttinttexture" "mamorex/glass/glass_d" "$refractamount" "0.02" //"$bluramount" "1" - use if you want a blur effect

}

2nd option

Just use this material:

Quote

Quote "LightmappedGeneric"

{

"$surfaceprop" "glass"

"$basetexture" "mamorex/glass/glass_d" "$alpha" "0.25"

//for high shader setting

"$bumpmap" "mamorex/glass/glass_n" "$envmap" "env_cubemap" "$envmaptint" "[0 0 0]" //3x0 for Phong only, higher for Phong and cubemap reflections

"$phong" "1"

"$phongexponent" "150" "$phongamount" "[10 10 10 1.0]" }

All values must be changed for your map lighting and setup.

The shaders you want are disabled on low settings, that's just the way things are in CSGO, the middle ground here is to have a desaturated, slightly transparent texture. I know, it doesn't look realistic, but players must be able to identify the glass on all settings, so as to not create any unfair advantage.

The problem with refract is that it distorts, so imo not a very good choice for two way windows in a competitive environment.

Did you built the mip-map in the VTF? Have you built the cubemap? In any case this is to be expected from a texture with a 0.04 alpha value, 0.04 is legit super translucent. Showing screens and telling us exactly what you want might help us resolve your issue. We still don't know if you want refraction or not?

The thing you see might simply be the reflection, not the texture. Reflections tends to disappear at an oblique angle.

Also I would avoid using the $alpha parameter altogether, unless there are several versions of this texture. You can tweak the alpha channel of your VTF to match the translucency.

Insertion has glass like this. Anyway, that is related to gameplay and not at all a technical issue
