PROBLEM FIGURING OUT OUTPUT DIR FOR .... THIS IS THE WORST TOOL EVER MADE

takes like a rocket scientist, i already used it a whole bunch of times. everytime i go back to use it on something, i have to figure it out all over again. so pissed

Is this a question or a statement?—ts2do 22:28, 5 Apr 2006 (PDT)

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. --Andreasen 22:21, 21 Oct 2006 (PDT)

Have you tried any of the alternatives listed on the bottom of the VTF page? --Nem 13:04, 26 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.
