Water console spam

It's a VMT error. I believe removing the variables from the VMT would fix it. They're probably deprecated/unused variables that were left in the VMTs or something.

is that the origin of the water brush or something?

have you tried just changing water_sawmill then reapplying the texture and seeing what the console says - worth a shot in my opinion

"maps/koth_bagel_b3a/water/water_sawmill_0_-4352_28" looks like a material that's been generated for reflectivity purposes. For example, here are all of the .vmt files in Byre's pakfile lump right after compile:



Presumably this is how the engine tells which faces to associate with which cubemaps, by generating a new .vmt for each distinct material that associates with a different cubemap (to be generated by buildcubemaps). I guess somehow this .vmt that's being generated for your water doesn't retain the fog properties?

If you can still see fog in your water, you can probably ignore the error. It might go away after building cubemaps but I don't really know.
