Title: [ Tutorial ] Creating your own texture category in radiant
Post by: Tim Smith on January 06, 2016, 05:24:52 pm
Hi, I've been messing around in radiant and when I convert images I always mix where they are . So I found this (it's my tut I found it) to create your own category for textures , ok let's start :

Step 1 : go to your root folder and go the folder called (deffiles) and locate a file named (material.gdf) right click on it and hit "Edit with notepad++" .

Step 2 : don't do anything yet ! when you open the file hit (ctrl + g) to go to the line 89 you will find this ("sign",) hit enter after that and copy the sign thingy to the new line , after that replace the "sign" with what name your category is going to be for me I made it "tim" save and close the file .

Step 3 : In the same folder go to the (materials) folder inside it & scroll down to the bottom to find a file called (usage.txt) right click and edit with notepad++ again

Step 4 : when you open it go to the line 40 you will find (sign) hit enter after that and type your category name don't MISSPELL it !! save and close the file .

And you're done , congrats lol now when you got to ASSMAN Or RADIANT you will find your new category like this :

Nice, much cleaner. Can't wait to try it. Can you do this after using textures, and do you have to convert images again?

you have to re-convert them to the new category or if your images in a one category you can find what is the category named and change it through the same method above (change not make a new one) ex : if you textures in box category change the box name to what you want and you're done .

lol i learned that the hard way. Before i was always converting all untill one day all my assets got deleted lol. I was like ok what just happen ? Gg tim :facepalm2:. I'm always adviseing ppl to use tom's converter fix after they run the converter for the first time. So they don't loss their assets.
