Question

How can I replace the default black and grey thumbnail in the Map List Server Browser for a coloured map pic?

Answer

You will need to install a map specific *.vtf and *.vmt file in order to see the map thumbnail. Hopefully, mappers will start including the *.vtf and *.vmt files in their map releases. These files do not "pakrat" into the *.bsp . Either the mappers or servers ops will also need to include a *.res file for in game downloads. SunLit Games has thumbnail packs of the relevant files for previously released custom DODS and TF2 maps. DODS thumbnails DODS Orange and Prodod thumbnails TF2 thumbnails
