I downloaded the new flat textures (that keeps an outline on textures unlike the old one which is sick) but the sv_pure 2 look bugs me, I was wondering if I could change something in vpk that can restricts sv_pure 2 from reading it at all and still keep sv_pure 0-1 working.

Pretty sure you can force a reload of materials by changing mat_phong while on the server. It's not quick or automatic but afaik it should work.

JarateKingPretty sure you can force a reload of materials by changing mat_phong while on the server. It's not quick or automatic but afaik it should work.
so basically I join a sv_pure 2 server, and change mat_phong while in it? I'll try it out soon.

Is mat_reloadallmaterials a command that requires sv_cheats? I honestly don't know but I use it in SFM all the time for this exact reason
edit: mat_reloadallmaterials only reloads the material files (vmt), not the texture files (vtf). if the texture pack doesn't use special vmt files and only uses vtf files, then it probably won't work.

It is sv_cheats only. mat_reloadtextures reloads vtf's, but is also sv_cheats only.
There's probably more, but afaik mat_phong is the only command to reload materials/textures ingame without sv_cheats.

Sounds about right.
Does mat_picmip reload textures? I think it'd be faster than mat_phong.

What if I enable cheats on a reserved server and use the command ? would that work ?

You'd need to try but I doubt it. If mat_phong doesn't work, mat_reloadmaterials and mat_reloadtextures probably won't either since they're basically doing the same thing. And materials get unloaded after leaving a server and loaded again when joining, so I don't think something you do on one server will persist after.
I don't know for sure, I haven't done it, but that's what I'd guess.
