Ok, you must download VTFEdit here. This is the program you can use to edit the Valve Texture Files. So once you have installed this, run it. In the top left hand corner, click File and then Import. Select the picture file that you want to make a texture from and click open. Once it has opened, click Open and then Save As. Save it as a vtf from here. Now here's the confusing part...
On VTFEdit, Click File and then New. A text editor type thing will come up. Replace all the text with the following.
"LightmappedGeneric"
{
"$basetexture" "wood"
"$surfaceprop" "Wood_Furniture"
}
You can change the "wood_furniture" part to anything on the list here: http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Surfaceprop
This will change the type of material, gibs and bullet holes.
You have to change "wood" to the name of the vtf you saved in the first part of the tutorial without the extension (.vtf).
Now click File and then Save and save it as the same name and in the same place as the vtf file we made earlier.
Now move both files to C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\YourSteamName\counter-strike source\cstrike\materials\
You can replace "counter-strike source" and "cstrike" with whatever game your using the texture for.
when you open hammer next they should be at the top of the texture list.
