Imported Props Are Purple

[XFunc_CaRteR]

Hey guys, I'm making an Alien Swarm campaign, and I've imported some props from other Valve maps. However, the props are coming through purple.

I already built my cubemaps for both LDR and HDR, but no matter: the props are still purple.

Anyone know what's going on?

You probably didn't import the textures as well.

Actually, I had imported the materials.

But the .vmt file had these phong effects. I just commented them out from the vmt file (see below) and then the prop worked fine. Sure, it didn't have the phong effects, but that was okay.

{
	"$basetexture" "models\props_construction\excavator"
	"$surfaceprop" "metal"

//Carter commented out all this stuff below...
	//"$basemapalphaphongmask" "1"
	//"$phong" "1"
	//"$phongexponent" "10"
	//"$phongboost" ".5"
	//"$phongfresnelranges"	"[1 9 12]"
