This console variable lists every texture currently loaded. This includes menu textures like the tiles in Portal 2, so the amount of textures may surprise you.
Bug:In Portal 2, this menu has an undetermined issue that causes frequent crashing. Doing mat_texture_list_all 1 and setting host_timescale to a low decimal seem to help with this a lot. [todo tested in ?]Interface
- F (Frame): Amount of texture memory used every frame.
- T (Total): Amount of memory the engine currently has cached.
- S (Shown): Amount of memory used by the textures shown in the list.
- View textures thumbnails: Show the textures and their details with a thumbnail, similar to the Hammer material browser, or without, similar to a file browser.
- Alpha: Show the alpha channels of textures separately in the same thumbnail square. This option disappears if View textures thumbnails is off.
- Show ALL textures: Show all textures in the map and some from the game menu as opposed to just ones currently in the player view.
mat_texture_list_all 1is the same thing. - Hide Mipped: Hide textures that use mipping. Does not include anything that can be mipped.
- Filter: Optional substring filtering for texture filepaths. (eap would display all weapon textures.)
- Reload All Materials: Reloads every texture. Comes in handy with some of the options below.
- Commit Changes: Saves all changes to material content files.
Click the small square in the top left corner to toggle between the expanded and collapsed menus. The expanded menu has some more options and values, in addition to the ones above:
- Render Targets and Special Textures: Shows some more game-critical textures, like the screen and water reflections. This also shows render targets, like the camera screens from Nova Prospekt.
- Show Memory Usage on HUD: Shows the F (Frame) and T (Total) values on the main screen, so that the user can see how much memory is used at once without having to constantly check back on the list panel.
- Warns: Show warnings on texture thumbnails. Like Alpha, this option disappears when View textures thumbnails is off.
- Resolve Full Texture Path: When viewing textures with thumbnails off, this displays the full filepath of the vtf in the Path column.
Select one of the desired options.
