so recently i made a joke map with custom textures that i made for it. first i finished the textures and used vtfedit to turn them to texture files and then copied those files to tf2s materials folder along with a txt file for making those textures to work in game
"Lightmappedgeneric"
{
"$basetexture" "filenamehere/texturenamehere"
"$surfaceprop" "surfacetypehere"
}
i finally aplied them to my map and loaded the game to succes, the custom textures were working just fine.
then i wanted to pack the texture files to the map file so people downloading it wouldnt have to download the textures separately and put them to the materials folder like i did. so i downloaded pakrat and VIDE, first i tried with pakrat and succesfully packed the textures with the bsp (the map file size increased about 2 mb so it was obvious they were packed) then i deleted the texture from my materials to test it, loaded up the map and saw that none of the textures worked. so i tried with VIDE and got the same result, even though they were packed succesfully none of the custom textures would work. so have i done something wrong or missed something in the process of packing the files or the packing programs are broken ?
