so I've been trying use a lightwarp for a video I'm working on but it's a .vtf file. I dont know where to put it so it shows up in demos. the only other lightwarps I have used were .vpk . do I have to change something or install it somewhere that I didn't try yet? I use lawena if that helps. thanks

Not sure the exact solution but perhaps try extracting the vpk file to see the directory structure. Should show you where you need to put the files.

/materials/models/lightwarps/file.vtf for weapons
/materials/models/player/pyro/file.vtf for characters

Rockz/materials/models/lightwarps/file.vtf for weapons
/materials/models/player/pyro/file.vtf for characters

tf/materials or tf/custom/customfolder/materials

I've tried both and neither seem to work :/

or should I make another materials folder in tf/custom

this one, also note that those vtf's must be specifically named

eg in models -> hand_lightwarp.vtf; mirv_lightwarp.vtf; weapon_lightwarp.vtf
player/pyro -> pyro_lightwarp

now i don't know if vmt's are needed, but those are easily generated in vtfedit, just be careful with specifying the destination in them
