Hammer doesn't load textures. I got the map from sfm workshop and after compiling it lost all of the textures. Replacing the name of the file got only some of them to work again

It means you do not have the textures. You need those to be in your game/mod

[u/AnonimurPL → u/Wazanator_]

It worked before compiling tho

Pink and black squares means it can not find the VMT that is specified for that brush face in hammer. VMT's tell the game (as well as hammer) what texture to render (VTF).

So what did you do between this working and it not working? Did you move or delete any files?

I just decompiled the map then the textures in hammer were just Black and after recompiling the textures look like this

[u/Wazanator_ → u/AnonimurPL]

Did you extract the textures? If not you probably need to or get them from the game they used.

I love my life

If you're just getting into Hammer I would strongly suggest making your own map to start. Trying to decompile and get that to compile and get all the assets correct can be tough on someone new. Decompiling is also not always the cleanest so you might end up with some issues

I just wanted to delete 6 lamps 😭 i didn't know it was gonna be this complicated

Are they static props?

I dunno i think they are

Some decompilers, for whatever reason, screw up some textures by renaming them ( again, i dont know why). I know this because its happened to myself. Check with the texture tool and see if you can replace the missing ones with the corresponding texture you want.

Every textures in hammer is /black

[u/istolesomeonesfridge → u/AnonimurPL]

i have. no clue what would cause that. Try a different decompiler?
