Texture watching tool for CSGO

[tomm]

So I thought some of you may find this thing useful, it's a small script to make getting textures into csgo less painful.

It's easy to get it running, you just drag and drop a directory on the executable, fill in your map name and you're good to go.

quick example:

my current directory structure is like so

+---textures
|   \---decals
|       \---wooden_beam_stains.psd

I drag and drop the textures directory on the executable and after I modify wooden_beam_stains.psd it will get converted to vmt/vtf.

Script takes into consideration your directory structure, so this example would output into:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\materials\de_havana\decals\wooden_beam_stains.vtf

 

Known issues:

• Saving out a blank psd will count as a change and will automatically be converted to vmt/vtf.
• Texturing models is tailored to my current bad workflow, meaning it ignores your directory structure and just dumps the textures into your materials\models\de_yourmap\ directory.

Lots of scary disclaimers. If you set this up nice and properly it should just work™ just like the black magic in the video. Thank you for gluing together scripts to make my life in the source engine easier.

Just tried it today and it's not working on my side.

What I did : 

• Dragged my materials folder (containing the .PSD files) on the .exe.
• Inputted Link as my mapname
• Created/Saved something in photoshop (Folder : Materials/projector_screen/FILE.PSD)
• No change in my materials/link/ folder

Am I missing something?

That's strange, you're doing everything correctly, did it log anything in the command line window after you saved/created your psd?

probably best if you add me on steam.
