    .vtf aka Valve Texture Format
    under Utilities you can find some usefull tools and plugins to handle this file format ;-)

    This thread serves as a "database" for quick lookup wich parts of the game need to be safed how.

    GUI icons like weapons/armor/engine
    compression format:

    BGRA8888
    flags:
    • No Mipmap (don't forget to uncheck Mipmap generation)
    • No LOD (isn't that already mipmap related?)
    • Eight Bit Alpha
    don't generate mipmaps nor normal maps!
    thumbnail can be generated, im not sure for what that is but think it makes no difference ingame!
    Version:
    7.3
    usual image size:
    128x64px
    usual file size:
    ~32,15kb

    ups - forgot it... xP
    well, at least theres much more to note down but i can't explain everything so that would be more a task for the graphic asset guys!^^
    but yea, maybe the wiki is the better place for this!

    wiki's hate me, especially their editors xP
    (kay, 1 part is myself, i hate the simplified wiki markup language - prefer clear formatting languages like xml - tough i hate html and know that xml isn't the best, yet alone because troubleshooting it is a nightmare!)
    but wikias have better editors, wich allows to ignore theire markup languages - tough because i'm not such a great writer i mostly just correct or add data! ;-)
