How to reload textures?

[Tornol]

Is there a way to reload externally modified vtf textures without re-opening SFM?

[Zappy]

mat_reloadtextures

[EmperorFaiz.wav]

type it on the console BTW.

Thank you.

mat_reloadallmaterials

there is also a script in the workshop that will add a selection in the script menu at the top of the screen where you just click it instead of typing it into the console.

While mat_reloadmaterial, last time I checked, does reload used textures of the reloaded material, mat_reloadallmaterials, last time I checked, does not reload all textures.

mat_reloadmaterial reloads textures in the specified material as well as the material itself.
mat_reloadallmaterials reloads all loaded materials, but not any textures.
mat_reloadtextures reloads all loaded textures (what the thread creator wants/wanted), but not any materials.

i say again,

You said "mat_reloadallmaterials" when someone asked how to reload textures.

Why not both?

[Zappy]

Because it takes time to reload all loaded materials, and the thread creator only stated VTF textures, no VMT materials.

if i change a vtf or vmt i do mat_reloadallmaterials

simple as that. always worked for me, no problem.

[Zappy]

Never worked for me regarding textures.

[raptornx01]

also, to 99% of the people that come here or even use sfm. materials and textures are the same thing.

maybe yours is glitched. but works fine for me
