I've had quite a lot of trouble setting this up but now, it finally works! Thanks so much.

Hello again, i'm trying to make a breakable door for Contagion.

The way the doors break are in several stages (like in L4D2) here is to see what I mean : http://imgur.com/a/XSBU7

This is what i'm modeling in 3DS max (not finished) : http://i.imgur.com/EkjHx8V.png

I've done a simple breakable teapot and that worked, but how do I do it so the doors transition to the next stages once broken ?

I've extracted the QC of the doors from the game :


This is for the base unbroken door :

// Created by Crowbar 0.24.0.0

$modelname "props_door\door06.mdl"

$bodygroup "studio"
{
studio "door06_reference.smd"
}


$opaque

$cdmaterials "models\props_door\"

$surfaceprop "wood"

$contents "solid"


// NOTE: The following commented-out $definebone lines might be needed, as is often the case for view models. When needed, simply remove the two slashes '//' from the start of each line.
// $definebone "Object002" "" 24.000919 0.961767 -44.019051 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

This is for the first damage stage :

Hey! Me again!

I'm follwing the "Wall Worm Displacements 2013" tutorial, but after creating the displacement the textures are all distorted ( right) :



I thought I alleviated the problem by clicking on Planar mapping and setting it to "Box" ( left ) but I read after that I should "never change the mapping type to anything other than Planar!"
I've looked and found nothing about this problem.

What to do ?

One question is where this material came from? When opened, it's pretty mal-formed . I think we can get it to not fail, but I'm still curious of its origin?

From a game called Contagion http://store.steampowered.com/app/238430

I don't know how it got mal formed, i'm not on the dev team.

Here is the VMT you asked for.

Alright it works!  ;D


This is what I did :

The VTF loader was not set up correctly so I went and set it up, then tried loading a VTF bitmap. That worked; but when I tried to create the materials with the root set at the base of the material folder, there would a popup saying :

"No VMTs found in the specified directories... no material library generated".

All I had to do then was enable recursive.


As for the bad VMT, I found out that opening it with VTFEdit didn't work either : "Error loading VMT texture: Error parsing material on line 53 (expected end of file)." It also didn't show up corretly in hammer. Do you still want the VMF ?

Thanks for the help!

Hello, i'm trying to follow along this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsNY-xzQs-8

I've managed to use the material generator but the materials show up as gray :

I've seen no documentation of this error from what I've searched & i'm using Wallworm Pro

Please help!
