Flashlight mod preview conflicting with other flashlight previews
I've gone through the steps of making a vpk (my first flashlight mod) and it works just fine in game. The problem I have is when I go to Extras>Add-Ons the preview for my flashlight shows up as the preview for all of the flashlight mods. Is this a random glitch in the game or do I need to do some folder/path editing within my own vpk to keep from conflicting with the other mods? I've tried changing the folder and file names but it just breaks the preview along with all of the other flashlight mod previews. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

most likely something wrong with your materials\vgui, in your addon info document make sure the addon image "name of vmt" matches with that name of vtf and vmt file in your materials\vgui folder.

It does. I tried naming it something different to see if that would fix the conflict with the other mods (and changed it in the addon info) but that just breaks the preview.

are you testing it out directly or packing and testing the vpk?.

How do you test it directly? I've got all the files on my desktop and any time I make a change I repack them into a vpk using Contagion's vpk.exe. Then I copy the vpk to the addon directory and reload the game.

I figured out where the problem was. There was extra text in the addon info. I had copied the layout from another flashlight mod. I looked at a different flashlight mod and the text was cleaner/simpler. I cleaned up the crud and no more conflict!
