When I went to edit the vmt I found that I actually didnt copy the mask files :^). Thanks for pointing me into this direction I wouldn't have figured this out in a milion years.

.vmt from the texture I used from the tutorial


mask.vmt


EDIT: it may be this mask fucking up because the mask is supposed to be white stripes but I dont see them. Will try without the mask. You would expect a tutorial to use the simplest things...

this is without -staticproplighting

no fullbright

fullbright

now with fullbright a notextures and no without... I dont know anymore.

Ok the problem is not with the physics model. I took a closer look at the notextures texture and it is stretched rotated and cropped like the UV map of the cork.smd model and with fullbright it dissappears..
My map consists of a simple box with skybox ceiling, light_environment and an env_cubemap but that doesnt seem to work.

This is all with -staticproplightning.

might be useful to post my .qc file

So I have followed this tutorial[forums.solidsurf.info] to make a surf ramp model. When I export as .smd I get the warning: 1536 faces did not have a material or texture assigned. The tutorial calls to ignore warnings but when I load it up in hammer in the preview I see a notexture sheen and in game as well. Here is a screen from the ingame view .
Under the notexture you can see the texture it has supposed to have.
I tried to give the physics mesh a material in blender and make it transparant. I didnt try to actually texture it because that would kinda defeat the purpose of a seperate physics model?
How can I fix this?
