Source 2 Map Import Does not import materials Properly (5.5.2)

[VCSoldier]

When using the Source 2 map import feature, some textures will not import at all. not even a basic "single base texture on principled bsdf/diffuse"

i assume this is the aforementioned "some shaders do not import properly" but i have a feeling it's a possible regression as i can remember being able to import most of the materials that are missing in this specific import without issue (only skins werent importing properly and would default to skin 1)

Blender View after importing models/geometry.

HLA Hammer View

if needed i can provide the VMAP and Compiled VPK/VMAP_C

Another issue i have noticed is that light entities import at the incorrect angle, (usually a 90 degree offset from their original angle in hammer)

[VCSoldier]

Update: turns out the materials import but they do not connect to the Principled BSDF, no idea how i missed this, i assume i mustve unintentionally clicked on a mesh that had no material setup and assumed that the textures were not importing

[VCSoldier]

proof of issue, some materials will also not import with any principled bsdf/material output but will import with textures.

Unconnected materials = unsupported materials.

Unconnected materials = unsupported materials.

could i possibly show you a nodetree that is the correct way to set them up? would that help at all? most of the "unsupported materials" seem to just be because they use tint and or texture mixing which in blender is easy to setup

[REDxEYE]

Ye, shader examples would be helpful. Tint support is not an issue, i just never got back to HLA to port CS2 shader code with tint support

[VCSoldier]

alright, ill get some images of how the shaders should be setup. if i find any more ill update this issue page with them.

setup i did for blend textures, using seperated principled BSDF because its cleaner and scalable to 4 way blending (and is also the intended way of doing this kind of texture blending in blender from what i can recall)

although i had to add my own BLEND color attribute, as the "TINT" attribute doesnt contain any of the blending information, although that could be caused by me not baking subdivisions when i was making the map.

I'm also not 100% certain on the blending mode to use, none of them look correct enough even though the texture being classed as a "tintmask" in this situation is actually the heightmask for the blend textures

[VCSoldier]

this was one of the fully black materials without any principled bsdf/material output, seems to be almost identical to vr_simple_blend but with a unneeded extra, fully green tintmask texture that was 16x16

i assume all of the full black materials in this map are the same thing, no idea if this applies everywhere else though, would need more testing

[VCSoldier]

Probable setup for tintable props. not 100% certain on this one, has yet another seemingly useless 16x16 mask but i assumed it could be used for the normal detail,

EDIT: Ignore this one, setup should be roughly the same as this for girders that imported correctly, no idea if these translate differently

[REDxEYE]

2/4 way blends use special vertex colors to blend, mask is used to modulate i believe. Check with Source2Viewer how these parts look or with hammer

[VCSoldier]

if needed i can send a blend file of this map, i feel like im approaching these node setups incorrectly now that im looking at some of the ones that imported properly.
