I had the same problem just now, but it went away when I simply went into the ''Source SDK'' menu, and simply clicked on the ''Current Game'' drop-down list (after having deleted that environment value in that list described under ''Troubleshooting'', but that alone didn't fix things). Now I just have to have to make it interpret my texture as not being ''bogus''. This is not a working tool. --[[User:Andreasen|Andreasen]] 22:21, 21 Oct 2006 (PDT)

If you have Photoshop, just install the VTF plugin. You can edit your texture or decal or whatever, and save it directly as a VTF file without the lame targa middleman stage. soooooo much easier than that stupid vtex tool. {{unsigned|Boddah}}

:Good point. That should probably be put into some sort of material creation page as a note. --[[User:Daedalus|Daedalus]] 02:51, 23 Mar 2007 (PDT)
