    I have basic knowledge of making a 2d rpg on Eclipse IDE Java, thought using a game engine like this is totally new to me. Can someone offer any resources to help make a 2.5D game on S&box? 

    Right now I am trying to figure out how to add a 16bit tile to a terrain and having little luck. I get as far as making the png into a vmat in the materials folder, but cant seem to figure out how to fix the blurryness, much less add it to the terrain after.

    Sorry for such a basic question(s) and thank you for any help you may offer.

    code 13
    Use:
    •  Flat meshes (planes or quads) 
    •  Materials with textures (your 16-bit sprites) 
    •  Grid placement via code 
    This is your closest equivalent to tilemaps, I wouldn't just straight in to mesh terrain.
