These are the custom symbols I made for my map "White Room (reMiX by josepezdj)".

I thought some mappers could like them and maybe want to use them in their maps

They are not all the symbols that Portal2 uses, but since I have them all in layers in a PDN file, I can make any of the rest if someone needs it. Just say here and I'll go posting those that ppl need!

Default location

By default I haave them into my folder materials/josepezdj/signage_wasted, so create a folder like this so your hammer editor load them on the fly. If you prefer any of your folders, just edit the .VMTs changing the line for the $basetexture... for example:

- "$basetexture" "josepezdj/signage_wasted/jose_wasted_signage_box_button"

by:

- "$basetexture" "mysignage/jose_wasted_signage_box_button"

Or you can even change the name of the .VTFs themselves and put their new name there in the $basetexture line... Any doubt about this or any help anyone need just let me know!

Thanks Due to the fact that you liked it, I'm attaching to this post the clean version for you

And if someone needs any other custom symbol for anything in his map, just let me know, I like doing this stuff!

Damn, this looks real neat. I'm gonna smack 'em into the map I'm working on now. Thanks jose

It's signage_wasted not wasted_signage.

I spent forever trying to figure out why Hammer wasn't loading any of the images.

You're right! Description fixed, thanks for pointing out Funny thing is that in the example below the path is correct >.<

The reason Valve didn't make textures like this is probably because the unlit generic makes it glow in the dark, but this is intresting. (And I'm going to be using the gear sign A LOT in my maps).

UnlitGeneric? I made them using the LightmappedGeneric shader. And they glow in the dark intentionally, but this is because of the parameter $selfillum 1 and the alpha mask I made for each texture (with this you control how much they glow)... However if you don't like them to glow, just edit the .VMTs and set $selfillum 0 instead.

No, maybe I was mistaken.
