@Minitiv Are you using integrated Intel graphics? Found a bug that causes it to fallback to oldest OpenGL version. Can you try this version and see if it's fixed: http://gortnar.com/vmt/VMT_Editor.exe

 

Won't work

Thanks for the release! Love the new changes.

I have been running 1.3.7 so far, but when I use "Check for updates" it says that 1.3.7 is the most current one. When using the new version instead of updating the old one, all my links to textures (for 1-click conversion) are broken. Is there a way to either force 1.3.7 to update or transfer all the linked textures to the new version?

[Yanzl]

Yeah you just download the zip and overwrite the old files with new or just the VMT_Editor.exe. The settings are stored in separate files that are not included in the zip so you don't lose anything (settings.ini and paths.ini).

I've created some official documentation for VMT Editor and Substance shaders. 

VMT EDITOR USER GUIDE

Hopefully you'll find this useful and discover some new features.

@Yanzl I was trying to figure out my issue when I was using this to help create VMTs for SFM Hammer. Every texture I was creating ended up appearing invisible. It turns out I needed to change it to RGBA8888 or RGBA16161616 and not DXT1. I think that the "Convert to VTF" configuration menu would need a template for SFM textures that has RGB888 for non-alpha and RGBA8888 for alpha. An 8 bit and a 16-bit version would help. Something like SFM Low and SFM High.

[Yanzl]

The Uncompressed template sets the textures to be BGR888 or BGRA8888. Though DXT compressed textures not working in SFM seems weird, since all the default models/maps use DXT compressed textures, sure there's not an issue somewhere else? Also I believe 16 bit textures are not really supported by VTFCmd, utility that we use to convert the textures, so no point in using that.
