What Portal 2 Textures to Use?
89 Posts
Posted May 01, 2011
Hey, a question for those of you who have decompiled some official P2 BSPs... What are some of the 'standard' textures that are used? Most are pretty obvious and easy to find, but I'm having trouble with a couple specific textures.. so:
- What's the texture for the slime water? I've tried a couple, but none of them appear in my map... (yes, I have lights and even a water_lod thinger)- What's the texture for the refractive glass in front of the overlook offices? I've tried a couple here as well but none of them are transparent in-game
Thanks for any replies!
Have a nice day,
~Sidneys1

I hear glass and water and such doesn't behave properly unless you add an env_cubemap to your level, I have no idea what that does though, or how it works and with what keyvalues.

Yes, I should have mentioned that I have a few "env_cubemap"s as well.

What cubemaps are and how to use them. Seriously, elementary stuff.

If you had read the third post you would noticed that I mentioned I already have env_cubemaps, and I have run "buildcubemaps" then reloaded the level.. All to naught. The refractive glass is still opaque and the water fails to show up at all. Are the textures I'm using the right ones? I know people here have the answers, as I have seen multiple P2 custom maps with working 'slime water'. It's a simple question, I just want a simple answer.
Have a nice day,

EDIT: however, I will not I have no real way of knowing if my cube maps are working, since "impulse 81" doesn't seem to work in P2...

Your post doesn't mention that you already built them. You just say you placed them, which is not the same thing. Unbuilt cubemaps do nothing.
It looks like your map has lighting. Does your map have leaks? Post your compile log.

Maybe I'm confused, but why are you running vbsp again at the end? It should be the first process that runs. But it looks like it runs again, after vrad runs.

No clue, and thanks for pointing that out.. I've disabled it from running at the end, and it still compiles fine (and a lot faster) so i guess that's solved.
Also, I seem to have inadvertantly solved my water-not-showing-up problem! Somehow or other my water solid got tied to a func_water_analog.. No idea what that is or how it got tied, but I removed it and water seems to work now! Now for that glass...

Are you placing the glass texture on a brush face? What is the name of glass texture that you are using?

Yes, and glass/glasswindow_refract01.
