specular maps and tf2?

tex_cookiedough · Jul 2010

okay so from what i've read specular maps in tf2 are contained in the alpha layer of the diffuse map,

so i have set it up just that way..

then in the .vmt it should say "$basemapalphaphongmask 1" somewhere if i am not mistaken.. im obviously doing something wrong because its not working..

anybody got a solution?

anyone..

If it's phong, you need to specify an exponent (gloss) value or texture.

You also have to turn phong on with a boolean;

$phong 1

$phongexponent 5 // use either this one for a flat value 0-255
$phongexponenttexture <texture> // or this one for a greyscale gloss texture

$phongboost 1.0
$phongfresnelranges "[0 0.5 1]"
