[IDEA] Nodraw
Since almost all of you are Hammer mappers in this forum, I want to talk about nodraw.
The nodraw, as we all know, is yellow, or green if we use a portalable one (useless).
It isn't healthy to ALWAYS see one color, if anyone is a designer and can make it, create colorful versions of nodraw?
It may sound funny (it is lol), but think about this for a second.
Thanks, TreasureGhost.
Check the attachment. Place the 2 files under your /materials/tools folder (create it if it doesn't exist). Check for "nodraw" or "toolsnodraw_red" or "red" in your Hammer's texture browser, and it should be there. Use it and compile a map to see if it actually works!

Aye, Jose, aye.
Thanks for the collaboration, now I can finally have my eyes see red.
The textures are included below. To install them, just extract the zip and place the nodraw_dev folder in your materials folder.
(I do recommend replacing them with the generic nodraw before shipping the map, otherwise when you run pakrat to embed resources, these textures will get packed too, which wastes space.)

Having a few different nodraw textures can be quite helpful. I made a few of them myself and I use them for blocking out new areas or labelling different parts of a complicated map. Mine have grids with sizes sizes 16, 32, 64, 128 and 256 and each has its own background colour.The textures are included below.

Ok, thanks.
