3 years ago Materials should be imported automatically if the game is configured correctly.
You can find the gameinfo.txt file inside the game directory to figure out how to correctly configure the game.
The file has multiple search paths, each one has a key and a value (a path). The search paths with "game" in the key are the ones you need to add to the configuration.
If the search path ends with .vpk, you add it as a vpk archive into the configuration. If the .vpk file it points to doesn't exist, you need to select the file with the same name that ends with _dir.vpk.
If the search path is a directory, add it as a game directory into the configuration. You also need to add pak01_dir.vpk inside the directory into the vpk archives configuration if it exists.
If the search path ends in a *, you should add it to the wildcard directories (without the *).
There search paths may contain |GameInfo_Path|, which means go to where gameinfo.txt is and follow the path from there. |All_Source_Engine_Paths| means the game installation directory.
I'm working on making this all automatic but it the meanwhile that should get the game configured correctly.
As for the incorrect uv issue, to calculate the uvs the texture dimensions must be known, so if the textures cannot be found you the uvs will be incorrect.

I successfully decompiled the BSP map into VMF file. Then open that VMF in hammer and is shows the textures. I then use: io_import_vmf To import into blender. It has all the objects, materials, lights, but no textures. In order to get the textures I have to retrieve the materials from the materials folder and convert the ttz/vmt file into a png. Then import that into blender. The only problem there is that the UV Maps for the objects are WAY TOO BIG and need to be scaled down to resemble the original UV size.
I've set it up to in a multitude of different configurations, selecting different subsects of the game directories, selecting all the VPK archives manually, setting the wildcard directory to the VPK folder and to every folder, but no importing method worked.
It seems like an awful lot of work to get all the textures into blender for every object in the scene. Did I miss a step in the importing process that automatically adds the textures I'm missing, and converts them into PNGs, and sets the UV sizes correctly?
