I am looking for a good railroad texture. I found this one:

but I can't find it in my texture list. I've got VTFEdit, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. anybody know what its called? its from the first level of HL2.

try narrowing the search options to "overlay" or "decal"

thanks, I found it. wasn't under one of those, but I didn't think to try different filters :rolleyes: . finally found it when I filtered for gravel. actually found another good one under track as well.

quick question. I put a blended texture on my displacement, then used the alpha brush and it looks great...in hammer. the alpha doesn't show up in game. am I missing a step?

well, in case anyone else has this problem, you have to run vis in order for blended textures to show up...ie, add a light.
