Material Editor Tool

Description
What is it?

A tool that allows you to copy materials directly from the map and apply them to props. It features many options to control the appearance of your material.

Why do I care?

Because unlike the default material tool, this tool allows you to use any texture. It also allows you to stretch and translate the material coordinates to fit your needs.

It also automatically applies bumpmaps to your materials, if one is available.

How do I use it?

Find it next to the original Material tool, the tool is called "Advanced Material"

You have several options, now.
A.) Find a texture on the map you like, right click with the tool out, and SHABAM, you can start applying it to stuff.
B.) Use the original material tool to select a texture you want in the menu, then open up the console and type:
material_override
and then click the option that pops up, and copy the material path.

The tool menu options are fairly straightforward.
Magnification options control sizing, and translation options will scroll the texture a certain direction.

Caveats

None that I know of.

Advanced materials aren't saved when saving a map.

WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning! Once there was a little girl called Clarissa, she was ten-years-old and she lived in a mental hospital, because she killed her mom and her dad. She got so bad she went to kill all the staff in the hospital so the More- government decided that best idea was to get rid of her so they set up a special room to kill her, as humane as possible but it went wrong the machine they were using went wrong. And she sat there in agony for hours until she died. Now every week on the day of her death she returns to the person that reads this letter, on a monday night at 12:00a.m. She creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by cutting you and watching you bleed to death. Now send this to ten other profiles on this one site, and she will haunt someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake. apparently, if u copy and paste this to ten comments in the next ten minutes u will have the best of your life. TIC TOC.'

is there a way to make it override the maps texture them save it? There is a texture in the map that map texturizer won't work with for some reason.

I wonder if it's possible for an addon to allow for creating custom materials in-game.
