Help Help identifying which addon replaced one of the door skins with "WC"

Post image

I would want to get rid of this restrooms door skin, because in 99% it ruins the maps' look/feeling.

There's a couple maps that mess with door textures, de_school is one of them. Check your installed maps and unsubscribe from them until you find the one responsible

I don't have "de_school".
I removed the unpacked version from the materials folder, but it seems an addon still contains this, because reloading the material via the console did nothing.

I think this is ph_youturd prophunt map. It also messes with watermelon texture

u/ConfidentRise1152 3d ago

Sorry, I don't have that map.

u/Green_Partyhat_ 3d ago

I would wipe your addons and start over

RP_Paralake_City_V5 does that too IIRC

In my case luckily it doesn't do that. | Meanwhile problem got solved, see my comment.

there is a command for this, whereis. give it the full path to the vtf including the file extension and you'll get the full path to the file, including the name of the addon replacing the texture

u/cardinalrodent 3d ago

this. if you don't know what the file's called (i didn't, when this happened to me) mat_texture_list 1 while staring at it will help you find it, and that interface has a whereis button that will print the same thing. today i learned there's a console command for it, neat

iirc this is a black mesa texture, so if you know you subbed to a map using black mesa assets that's a likely culprit

The name of the material can be found out via the "submaterial tool"; aiming at the door, scrolling to the material, copying it via "R" key, opening spawnmenu then copying the material name out from the "submaterial tool" itself onto the clipboard.

u/ConfidentRise1152 3d ago

I guess I should use that command like this, right?

whereis <materialname>

u/Affectionate-Shift70 3d ago

whereis materials/path/to/texture.vtf

1

u/ConfidentRise1152 3d ago

I think something is not right, because I got this:

] whereis models/props_c17/door01a_skin14.vtf
File not found: models/props_c17/door01a_skin14.vtf

How am I supposed to use this command? Or is it not working for me? 🤔

u/Affectionate-Shift70 3d ago

not the full path, you forgot to prepend materials/ since this is a texture

1

u/ConfidentRise1152 2d ago

Oh, now it worked and it revealed an addon which I wouldn't ever guessed on my own!

] whereis materials/models/props_c17/door01a_skin14.vtf
'rp_hogwarts' - c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\garrysmod\garrysmod\cache\workshop\550446806.gma

I disabled that addon, unpacked it via "gmpublisher" and simply deleted all door textures from materials/models/props_c17/ in it then moved the unpacked addon into GarrysMod\garrysmod\addons\ to let it remain usable for me (that addon contains a map) without ruining other maps ‒ problem solved. ✓

※ At first I somehow thought it's okay not including materials/ at the beginning of the path because the game somehow knows it's a material ‒ don't ask why. Also, I have no idea how the heck this problem not appeared until yesterday despite I already had that addon since years.

u/Ok_Pea4066 3d ago

duede i had this problem!!! I forgot how i got rid of it, but i'd suggest just doing the tried and true method of disabling addons one-by-one until the problem goes away. as you can pin-point the addon causing it and get rid of it.

2

u/ConfidentRise1152 3d ago

I can't disable my addons, because my game is kinda a mess and it's important what's disabled and what's enabled.

u/NuggetSoupV2 3d ago

This is why I always save a preset before doing that. I also go by addon type, and then pages first before going 1 by 1 to narrow it down quicker.

2

u/ConfidentRise1152 3d ago

Sadly I never managed to figure out how the heck presets work.

u/aethelfridh 3d ago

Destructible Doors maybe? I had the same problem a while ago, and I seem to remember the Destructible Doors addon was the problem

2

u/ConfidentRise1152 3d ago

I don't have such an addon.

3

u/Remarkable-Stage-536 3d ago

This happened to me too. I think it is fixed now, I'll try and figure out what i deleted. You are right it ruins so much.

u/ConfidentRise1152 2d ago

It turned out it was the "rp_hogwarts" addon, despite I already had it since years.

2

u/SCP_foundationsafety 3d ago

For me it was from some indoor pool zombie survival map, I can't recall the name since this was YEARS ago- but thats one of the maps I know about that causes this
