it's a lengthy process at first but it works as advertised error-free

A quicker way without going through the decompiling/recompiling process is to extract the model files and textures from the GCF then hexedit the paths inside the .mdl and change the paths in the vmt.

As long as the length of the new path is the same as the old it works great and you have an exact duplicate of the old model but with a new name all ready to edit.

ie: /props_c17/blah/blah/ -> /props_new/blah/blah/ (same length)

Alternatively, here's one I made earlier just change the textures however you want them.

Thank you guys!

nice..

exactly what i searched
i´ll post the result, when finished.

thx n regards

you can also search the web for free use pictures of textures and then make them into a scalable texture and convert them to a VTF file in photoshop. Not that hard to do really, Ive made some custom textures from photos I have found on the web and pictures Ive taken myself. If you do a seach for making textures in photoshop, you can probably find a tutorial
