Opacity and illumination for source textures?

[HeadCrabeD]

Are these possible in source? If so, can anyone show me a way to write them in vmts? Any help is appreciated.

Sorry for the double post, but I am having some problems and need halp…
The Self illumination map isn’t working …
This is my vmt:

“VertexlitGeneric”
{
“$basetexture” “Screen_hall/screen_Hall”
“$normalmap” “Screen_hall/Screen_hall Normal”
“$selfillum” 1
“$selfillumtexture” “Screen_hall/Screen_hall Illumination”

}

And here’s my self-illumination map, white is where it lights up… right…?

And this here is the outcome… No illumination at all…

Yeah… Feel free to laugh at me like crazy If I did something utterly wrong.

And yet another thread that didn’t have to be posted if they had read the SDK wiki.

Please, dude, sticky a link to it already.

I find it more fun to steal vmts and see if they work with my textures.

This is how I got my Tron gloves working.

You shouldn’t have quotation marks around each shader parameter, you shouldn’t be using vertexlitgeneric unless it’s a model, you shouldn’t have spaces in your file names, and your selfillumination mask should be in your basetexture’s alpha channel.

Your .vmt should probably look like this:LightmappedGeneric { $basetexture screen_hall/screen_hall $normalmap screen_hall/screen_hall_normal $selfillum 1 }

Does it make a difference if it’s a prop?

Because It is a huge prop D:

@Raminator

If it’s a prop, you should be using VertexLitGeneric. I wasn’t sure if it was a prop or not, I couldn’t tell from the screenshot and your .vmt was halfway between a model and world texture.

I somehow managed to get it to work, the process includes an incredibly embarrasing discovery that I would rather keep to my self… Anyways, thanks for the help. :awesome:
