[Solved] [TF2] CMaterial::PrecacheVars: error loading vmt file for sprites/flare6

This problem similar to https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=212651

While trying to use env_funnel, I had to copy the flare6 sprite over from hl2mp as TF2 was missing it.

However, the texture only works when the server first boots up, after a map change, it stops working.

In the console I receive the following:

Code:

CMaterial::PrecacheVars: error loading vmt file for sprites/flare6

This is my code for precaching it.

PHP Code:


			
public void OnMapStart() {

    AddFileToDownloadsTable("materials/sprites/flare6.vmt");

    AddFileToDownloadsTable("materials/sprites/flare6.vtf");



    PrecacheModel("materials/sprites/flare6.vmt", true);

}

Solved, it appears to be the sv_pure value that was causing the problem. Duh.

Added the assets to the whitelist and seems to be working now.

Derp!
