how can i ONLY look at the dod mats and not the hl2 ones? its a pain in the ass for me to be looking for a nice ww2 mat and have to go through all thats combine:donrluvs::donrluvs::donrluvs::donrluvs: :-/

Let me say this once again.

You don't have the DoD specific SDK yet so you have all the dod material extracted to HL2/CSS material structure. It's not meant to be used like that.

I'd suggest you to wait till the SDK is released.

Well using texture filtering helps, I couldn't immagine looking for a texture without :P
I dont think you can take away the hl2 textures alltogether.

then how is everyone else making those uber nice maps without having it? i just wanna know how there doing it, im not trying to be rude or anything

There is a Shared Source Materials gcf file which everyone has, and which contains materials which are used through out the different valve games. Those are the ones you will always see, even with the dod source sdk. Same thing with models.

Like Travis said, you can filter textures in material browser. Type in words like 'donner', 'anzio', 'flash' etc and you'll find some dod specific ones.

Hope it helps!

You can always exclude stuff from material browser :)

but is there any way to filter those out, i know in the old hammer there was that pull down menu where youcould select to ONLY look at a certain WAD file. is there anything like thatthat i can do?


EDIT: posted this at the same tim,e you posted

Tools > Options > Materials > Material exclusion list

thank you!!! thats all i wanted to know :-P

Just as a side note I'm pretty sure that DoD:S uses a lot of HL2 textures, there are a lot of nice ones that fit in perfectly. I mean grass is still grass, even after 60 years.

If you want to look at only the DoD:S textures then just type in 'dod' in the keyword-field (right underneath Filter in the texture browser). This will sort through all the loaded textures and only display the ones who has the correct keyword written in the .vtm file.
