+ My problem hasnt really got to do with the program itself (program is brilliant),
+ basically when i create a vtf and use it in cs:source the whole image gets placed to the right a bit. So
+ about 2% of the picture which should be on the right side appear on the left side. 
+ This dosnt happen with other vtf's which ive downloaded.
+ Is it the version (7.0, 7.1, 7.2) or is it the reflectivity. Otherwise everything is exactly the same + (in sense of properties) with the ones ive downloaded.
+ thx 4 the patience.

+ I have .NET Framework 1.1 and 2.0 and the updates all installed, however, once
+ downloaded VTFEdit it does not open and the error says that it is not configured properly and try
+ reinstalling. I saw a comment about the same problem and they were told to go get .NET framework. I have
+ already and still VTFEdit will not open can you please help me Nem. Do I need to get rid of all
+ frameworks prior to 2.0 and only keep 2.0 ? I also DLd the nVidia pack with the Lib file that was
+ recommended and still VTFEdit wont open, please help.

+ How can I edit an image that has the Eight Bit Alpha turned on? I can send you the
+ files to show what I'm talking about if you want. But when I look at the image in Vista's explorer bar,
+ It looks different from the one I see in Paint.Net after I convert it with VTFEdit.

+
+ Right, I received a problem .vtf file two weeks ago, but I forgot and haven't yet had
+ a chance to look at it. In Photoshop, you can edit the alpha channel by simply selecting it under the
+ Channels tab (bottom right corner).
I don't know if Vista previews the alpha channel, but in + VTFEdit, the Mask setting (View menu) lets you switch between the RGB channels and the RGB + channels blended with a checkered background via the alpha channel (for previews).

+
+ I was wondering if it's possible to use vtflib to convert a vtf file to a jpg. What
+ I'm looking for is something command-line that a php script could call then snarf up the jpg for display
+ on a web page.
You can find out what decal is being used by a person on your server from + within a sourcemod plugin, and the server saves it inside a .dat file. If you rename the .dat file to a + .vtf file, you can open it with your photoshop plugin. What I want to do is write a plugin for our + gameservers that will export a web page so that admins can see if any of the players are responsible for + spraying pornographic or racist decals without having to be present in-game.
EDIT: Nevermind. + I found the -exportformat option, finally :) missed it the first several times I looked through the cmd + screenshot on the about page. Works like a charm, and I'll look into making this all automated. Thanks + for an excellent toolset. :)

+ It sounds like the file is not a Valve Texture Format file. Not all files of
+ the same extension share the same format. There is no fix for this.

+ At first i want to tell you VTFEdit is absolutly awesome, i use it since a while now
+ and it really makes live (or at least converting textures for source) a lot easier.
+
+ But now i have a little problem:
+
+ I tried to create a spheremap (for reflection on a prop).
+ As far as i know, i would need to save it as a enviroment map, but no matter what i do, i cannot make it + checking the flag for enviroment map.
+
+ The vtf plugin for Photoshop doesn't support enviroment maps, so maybe it's not working in VTFEdit, + too.
+
+ Can you please tell me if it's possible to create enviroment maps (in that case a spheremap) with + VTFEdit and if it is, how to do it?

+
+ Sphere map support in the Source engine is deprecated. Sphere maps were only included
+ as a fallback for older versions of DirectX. You can still create them with VTFEdit, however. To do so:
+
+ -
+
- Press the Input button. +
- Select six images that make up the cube map. +
- Select Generate Sphere Map to generate a sphere map from the six images. +
- Press OK. +
