Hello, there!

I've created Map Retexturizer for players to play around, for server owners to make unique outdoors / advertisement / maps and for filmmakers to reinvent their scenes more freely.

It's important to note that changing materials of a map doesn't change the original files on the disk, they're always intact. What I do is manipulate the materials in RAM and backup files, having everything managed by custom saving, loading and synchronizing systems.

That's it, and it took me a LOT of work to get to where we are!

Thank you very much for being here and I hope you have a good experience with the tool.

• Copy, paste and restore materials;
  
• Manipulate materials of brushes, models and decals;
  
• Change many material properties;
  
• Tool gun and undo support for almost everything;
  
• Works with any mounted game and manually installed vmt/vtf files;
  
• Fully prepared for singleplayer, listen servers and dedicated servers;
  
• Full support for GMod saves;
  
• Save / Autosave / Load / Autoload;
  
• Change all map materials at once (but water and models);
  
• Full cleanup by categories;
  
• Preview mode;
  
• Material Browser;
  
• Console commands.

Here are our commands:



You can apply any material on the skybox using the tool gun.

If you want to use a 6-sided sky, install it and write the name in the skybox path, omitting the suffix. For example, on sigleplayer:


Result:


Note: Check the documentation if you want to create your own sky materials
Note 2: If the map has a customizable skybox like the one in gm_construct, changing it has a small impact on performance, otherwise the impact is null.


You can use your own materials by correctly creating[gamebanana.com] and placing them in the folder:


In the above path, change "mystuff" as desired.

Requirements:


The save files are organized per map and located in the folder:


You can zip everything up and send the file to others, that's it.

Note: in multiplayer, save files are kept only with the server owner, that is, clients don't receive copies of them (only a list of names).


I added some custom server hooks:


ply is nil if the load is being done by the tool itself.

You can initiate a load directly by calling this function in the server scope:


ply = The player who is starting the load. You can use MR.SV.Ply:GetFakeHostPly() so we'll consider the tool is applying the save;
loadName = The name of the load file.

Check this file[github.com] to see how I call the main functions.

Unfortunately the code isn't properly documented.


Here is a list of the things that I'm struggling to do or I can't get to work:

• Change many of the brushes material properties, including but not limited to color and bumpmap;
  
• Get displacement texture paths easily with Lua[web.archive.org] (I read them from the .bsp);
  
• remove and copy decals (+undo +toolgun) (We can't[github.com])
  
• Change map models (They are identified as **studio**)
  
• The material preview requires a current applied map material to work, so I it's kind of "disconnected" and it affects missing textures.

People are having some weird errors because of graphics cards configurations optimizing the materials storage, and for some reason it's only affecting dedicated servers.

If you are copying materials with the right mouse button and they aren't rendering correctly in the preview window, you are being affected by this.
