Vmt not loading for custom texture.

[Tango]

Custom texture working in hammer, packed with VIDE

But when ever I boot up my map with sv_pure 2 the texture is invisible and from the console it reads:

CMaterial::PrecacheVars: error loading vmt file for mapping content/bitext

Any known suggestions?

Are the files stored in your custom folder? VIDE has a problem packing files in the custom folder.

Yes, and they were packed manually.

Probably due to having spaces in the directory

Even when renamed the files to have no spaces, and then readded the texture and recompiled the error still occurred.

Try making sure their packed directory isn't a /custom one.

Alternatively just move them into the /tf/ folder structure, custom should be used for clientside mods, not map content.
