texture extraction

#1 · January 18, 2014, 3:06 am

I recently figured out to make my own textures, but now I want to make redesigns of the built-in portal 2 textures, but I cannot figure out how to access them. Either they are hiding in a folder I can't find or they're are compressed into something, I don't know.

Just when I think I understand the system, it changes on me.

Portal 2/portal2, there are .vpk files, (where all textures, sounds, models etc. are in).
And there is a file named "pak01_dir.vpk".
You can open this files with GCFScape, search the textures and extract them to somewhere.
