i'd rather not spread this into another thread, but since you ignored it in the other thread (and, in fact, went totally silent when everyone pointed out that the download archive does in fact have broken permissions, which is only the least reason why it doesn't work):
Az, if you sit in the sourceforts dir (i.e. the place you'd run ./scrds from) and do:
Code:
ls /hl2/materials/glass/ | grep -i combineglass001a.vmt
...what result do you get?
