Exporting HL2 textures.

[DJ_Dooms_Day]

I want to edit a few of HL2's texture to my needs but their all in this *.vtf and *.vmf format. Is there any way i can convert then to TGA or something for editing?

I dont know about this, though it would be important to know huh? Maybe check the SDK documentation or emailing a valve rep. Did you try finding stuff with teh GCF viewer?

Nar i found a vcf -> tga decompiler. It works fine except that i only have the diffuse of each texture. Where are the normal/specular maps?

[OL]

send me that ^^^^^^

[DJ_Dooms_Day]

and how am i ment to sent it to you?

[von*ferret]

not everything has normal and specular maps I dont think. Please post the program or email it to one of us who can post it.

vtf2tga comes with the SDK, but it seems only to work when the tvtf you want to decompile is in the bins folder where the vtf2tga.exe is located.
