At the moment… yes, basically.
I’m thinking of adding an option for automatically finding a normal chain parameter and populating it, but I’m still looking at how normal textures are named. Would probably need an editable list of things at the end of actual normal texture file names (_n, _normal, _s, what have you, since nobody seems to agree on what to name them) so I can find them.

I think that this is a good idea and you should do it (for spec maps too - maybe just in a way that works for arbitrary “texture ending x goes in x material parameter”), but I also think that the best way to do Source engine ones would be actually look in the .VMTs and build the material instance from that info - it’s all kinda there, and I can make a master material that does everything the Source mats do and has a good set of parameters to automate.

We said this already between ourselves, I’m mostly just reiterating for the audience now

Since the steampipe update all Valve games use VPK’s and have their own Hammer in the BIN folder i.e Gmod HL2 +ep 1,2 and TF2, CSS

I guess either materials shared between Source games are the exception to this rule, or I just still have an old “source materials.gcf” for whatever reason.
