A Head Full of Hot Air (aka invasion_a_head_full_of_hot_air) Material VTF Fix

This download ONLY includes the VTFs to fix the paintable areas of the Misc Item. If you find that the helmet is invisible, (as it was in my case using a AMD RadeonHD Grafics Card) go to your

game\gamecacheModFolder\materials\models\workshop\player\items\pyro\invasion_a_head_full_of_hot_air
Folder and comment out the

$alphatest 1
statements in both of the

invasion_a_head_full_of_hot_air_1 VMT
Files, then issue the console command

mat_reloadallmaterials and move the playhead.

SOMETIMES the actual $alphatest will come back if you uncomment it after the scene build and you'll get the helmet looking like it does in game. However this only works for still image renders. When making an animated clip and the $alphatest 1 is uncommented, the helmet may disappear again.

This is the material only. It will install to your Workshop folder and will not replace the original material unless you have given the workshop folder a higher priority than your TF folder in the Gameinfo.txt file.

If you're still having problems, see this guide. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=511040608 . I provides 3 methods on how to get these Materials fixes working in SFM.
