How to Port Half-Life 2 Beta Maps with Textures to Half-Life 2

I had opened another thread, however, this seems easier.
I was wondering how to port the maps and textures over to Source?
I am able to get the maps to load, without textures.

How do I add the textures?

I tried it but it did not work, as I am porting maps from the early 2000s Era

Just Copy and Paste the Materials Folder in hl2/ep2/episodic folder, and with BSPSource decompile the maps, and open the vmf file with hammer/hammer++, this is all!
