Decals not working, gray background all of them

Yeah, this bug is related to swapping materials in a very specific way, and I was never able to fully figure it out.

sometimes when i change a texture it gets stuck as that texture and i cant remove it
and the only thing
i have found that works is restarting my game : (

half life 3 here i come!

I'd use the submaterial tool to copy and apply the skin on another model, then mapret would be able to also use it. I never fully implemented models suppport because it's not the real focus.

is there a way to copy a texture of a skin or scroll through the textures for them?

how do I make certain map textures invisible?

Oh, I see. It's ok, ty 4 letting me know.

also hey, I'm dumb as hell. it was a spawn menu addon. I fixed it by uninstalling it lol. I think it was one of those derma skins.

Hello. Name of the map, please. Were you playing singleplayer or multiplayer?

for some reason the UI doesnt come up in the options menu when i click it. just gives me this error

Lmao tell me more. Which map and material is causing you trouble? Do you think you have a bug? Why do you hate my dear mr missing? I barely see them tbh

I HATE MR MISSING

You don't.

where do i find the Materials! folder in file explorer :(

I fixed the tool failing to warn users about how to change displacements.

@khronos_inadvert
On which map? I can change gm_construct skybox with no issues.

@dell spencer TF2 (dispenser)
Nice

@Artanimatorman
Which materials?

You need to use the "Displacements" section to change gm_construct grass, but I noticed the tool is buggy - trying to apply the material on the displacement instead of giving the expected warning.

@Azure
Change the alpha channel. It's a bar near the material preview.

If there's a way to make map textures render transparent / invisible it would be very appreciated to know about

also it doesnt let me change the grass and sand textures in construct

how do i use materials from the material tool? so its not just the map materials

my brain is burning

it just keeps telling me to change the skybox in the tool menu no matter what i do

@rinasinaga Even after rewriting this tool I left the models support on a very basic state because it's supposed to only change map materials. Try the submaterial tool for this purpose.

If I recall correctly it's a checkbox in the save dialog. Just click on the save button.

Does anyone know how to disable auto saving?? (at least the text that appears in the game chat)

When You Duplicate a Retexturized Object Then For Some Reason Everything ut That Reverts To Its Normal Texutre. Why Does This Happen?

Been experimenting with recreating locations from games; don't know how well it'll work for my purposes. Nevertheless, this is a fantastic mod. :)

yay now i can make gm_flatsand grass instead

How do I make the textures stop glowing?

cool

Ok, I'll look into it.

I have the certain deathrun maps that appear to not allow those materials to appear in the list in Gm construct or anywhere else

well there happens to be like this one https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2780906821&searchtext=ancient+memes ancient memes, It doesn't list those memes

Uhmm, I can consider it a bug. Can you give me the name of one of these maps?

okay, I was just sad that some materials from certain maps aren't in the list and I wanted to go crazy with certain images that happen to be meme stuff and stuff that i just want to keep and save and put all over different maps and not say " material unknown"

oh, okay, new features won't be done?

Hi. I stopped adding new features a while ago, I just want this addon working as it should.

could you make a feature in this addon where you can save packs of files of materials from Different maps?

I'm not sure if I fixed the huge material loads, but I certainly improved the quality of the tool. If you load a huge save, save it again, and when you load it again you still get the "loading forever error", let me know!


Versions 2.0.3 and 2.0.4:

- Change: useless material undos are now removed from the game;
- Change: blocked cleaning map materials during a load;
- Change: saves now allow storing no changes (so we can reset files);
- Change: refactored skybox management with improved performance;
- Fix: saves were storing the materials change history and creating huge files;
- Fix: the forced materials cleanup was failing.

Xalalau, I sent you a friend request to send screenshots, saving, and additional information.

Hi. I still want the map materials save file to reproduce this issue. It'd be nice if someone cooperate with me as I work for free here. But I'm travelling right now, so I only be able to help you in 6 days.

I am having the same exact problem. The more I save the same map file, it keeps doubling the amount of textures it has to load in, When it reaches about 7,000 that's when it takes an unbearable amount of time to load. This is one of the best addons and very crucial to my animation work I do in it. Would really appreciate any help or a fix.

Could you send me your save? It's in data/mapret/mapname.

The mod is broken, now after loading the save, 7000 textures begin to load, although there are only 10 of them on the map.

v2.0.2

- Fix: GMod saves support got broken after the tool rewrite

are you going to fix it soon?

yeah i noted that saves arent loading any textures this is so sad damn i was gonna test something

Note 2: loading saves is currently broken. I'm going to fix it soon.

Note: it's still buggy, but much more stable than the old version. I'm looking forward to make it really usable.

Released v2.0.0
- Add a button to copy displacement properties to the preview window
- Add a new decal system (The older one was disabled by default. When I realized, I had already deleted everything from the previous code)
- Fix an INSANE amount of bugs (I have no idea how many or which ones exactly, but some of them were pretty bad)
- Change the versioning number to a proper one
- Change how the tool works internally (deep refactoring and rewriting)

I'll fix the errors as they get automatically reported:

Enjoy. (finally)
