I've been doing some small edits of the default v_k98_scoped for personal use. Just darkening up the wood. I am aware of the reflection on the scope. When I try to edit the vmt file of the default, it says:

Error parsing material on line 6 (expected newline).

At the moment, I'm using vtfedit, and can't edit any reflections. Got any suggestions?

Post your VMT?

That's the problem, I can't even access it. It comes up with the error. And this is the default vmt file.

Maybe I shouldn't have posted yet... I'll try to learn a bit more, and post back if I run into the same problem.

You cant access by notepad?:confused:

Woops, forgot that notepad is a very versatile tool. :rolleyes: Sorry about that.

"$basealphaenvmapmask" 1

"$model" 1
}

Stupid question, have you actually hit return after the last "}" ?

I guess it shouldn't technically matter but it depends on the parsing routine that Source/VTFEdit is using. Sometimes they specifically look for a newline (\n) after a character when reading lines from a file and if it's missing, it may fail to spot the end of the curly brace pair and fall over, thinking that the file is incomplete.

Hey guys, I made the stupid mistake. I could have used notepad to edit things, but I automatically assumed that things were wrong because it didn't open in vtfedit. And the reason is because of the missing quotation marks around the values. :p
