The Yaucht's windows appear as purple and black boxes for me and I have the Counter Strike Source, the content downloaded for HL2 episodes 1 and 2, and the HL2 content. I do not know what is wrong at this point. I have verified the CSS files to make sure they are not corrupt and I do not know what else to do. I checked with singleplayer and all of the yacht's textures work completely normal but when I go onto the HRP server, the yacht's textures (specifically the windows, glass-like textures, and some rectangular shapes on the wooden deck) only show as checkered. The rest of the yacht is fine. I have re-installed Gmod and re-installed all of my addon content as well as the server content.
P.S. One of the icons in the vehicle salesman's menu is checkered.
here are some screenshots of the yacht for reference:

I hope this helps!

Are they all mounted on Garry's Mod?
-
Yes, they are all mounted on Gmod and the content addons are in the addons folder and they work for the other missing textures I had on the HRP server.
-
Are you in the Steampipe Beta for all applicable Source games?
-
if by steampipe beta you mean steam client beta then no, i have it set to opt out of all beta participations. I know nothing of steampipe beta though.

is there any way to directly download the yacht's textures from an addon?
-
Not that I know of. I'm not even entirely sure from which game the textures are from.
-
maybe re-installing it will help?
-
I don't think so. I'd wait and see what the others suggest.
-
everything i have tried has not work so i could give it a try and wait a couple hours

I mean, when i was looking for the HRP server for the fisrt time, i may have downloaded a few unwanted maps and that may have conflicted with a few server files.
-
Are the windows themselves pink and blank or is it just the reflection? If you're not sure, a screenshot would work
-
When I look at the yacht from the outsied the windows and those little rectangular boxes and the wooden deck of the boat are checkered, but when i am inside i can see out of the windows just fine. The rectangles mentioned to be on the wooden deck are still checkered regardless of my location relative to the boat.
-
What he means is if the windows are completely unable to see through, or if they are still partly transparant but have a purpleblack checkered reflection in them?
Can you make a screenshot of the boat and post it here? Then we can tell what it is.
Ps: did you try downloading the workshop item of the yacht?
-
can you send me a link to that please?

thanks i will check it as soon as possible

When I joined for the first time on my laptop, I had the same problem, as well as icons in the reclamation menu being missing textures. This issue isn't isolated.

Everything you just described is my exact problem!

When I spawn the yacht in single player it works fine. So why is it messing up on the server?
-
You could just start over with a completely fresh install of Gmod, along with all your other source games.
Its also possible an addon is conflicting with the windows, if that specific texture has been altered or moved.
-
Are the windows themselves pink and blank or is it just the reflection? If you're not sure, a screenshot would work
It may be the reflection due to the windows onyl being pink and black when outside of the boat; but the glass gyroscopic compass on the dashboard of the yacht is pink and black as well.

It may be the reflection due to the windows only being pink and black when outside of the boat; but the glass gyroscopic compass on the dashboard of the yacht is pink and black as well.
The railings are showing the cubemap reflections properly though. If it's the reflections, you'll see the pink and back textures move about on the boat as you move. If its just the window texture, they'll stay in one spot on the boat. The gyroscope uses the same window texture as the windows though so It's probably the window texture missing.
The windows are clear inside the boat because the creator didn't apply a glass texture to the inside for the simple reason of, reflections on inside windows reflect the ground, making it hard to see. You'll notice that in the H500.
-
If its the missing textures then what else do I need to get? I have HL2 ep 1 and 2 content and CS:S and L4D2 all enabled. Do you have anything else that may help?

My laptop has all the games mounted. Its not on your end. Developers need to look into this issue.
-
try mat_specular 0 in console to see if it's just the reflections
-
If it was the bumpmap texture, you would see squares on the window but still look like glass. If it was the envmapmask, you would see reflections in a checker pattern but still see through the glass. Seeing how the rails on the boat are reflective, it's not any of those or a cubemap issue at all. The presence of the purple black checkers indicates a missing texture. That's the issue. Him, me, possibly other new players are missing materials/models/yacht/window.vtf (hypothetical, idk the real name) and that needs to be resolved.
I'll poke around for it later today.
-
I'm convinced that you can easily solve it by getting the workshop item I told you to get earlier in this thread... I checked my own Garrysmod directory and that workshop addon is the ONLY thing I have in there that is even close to anything related to that Yacht, and it works just fine for me. Both my root material and model directories are completely empty.
But if you can't download the workshop item for some reason, I extracted it for you: https://db.tt/LfYJl9b3
Just dump that in your root folder (aka just addons -> addons) and you SHOULD be good to go.

Bump
This bug still exists.
Wiped my downloaded content to save HDD spcae and rejoined HRP. Yea....

Ok, the textures are still missing and i have every hl2 game, tf2, CS:S, and l4d2 all games have been played at least once and are all mounted on gmod.
-
The only other thing that comes to mind is a hardware issue or an issue with DirectX. Of course, I know next to nothing when it comes to this sort of thing so take my words with a grain of salt until someone knowledgeable confirms it.
-
Oh
My
God
This bug is confirmed a content issue. Fix it!

All of the materials for the boat are on fastdl.

Download that and put the larsaboat folder into garrysmod/garrysmod/download/materials. Replace any file it asks you to.
