So I'm trying to change the texture of a few items, and the first I started with was the Cool Breeze. Here's what I have for it in my custom foldier:

And here's what shows up in-game:

That boggy brown overlay is not supposed to be there, it should look like this:
https://gyazo.com/b1313b2a3a294c698a418d8cc1b2199a
Now if you look closely through the brown, you can still see the desired texture there. I just can't figure out how to get rid of the the brown. I don't think I'm missing any files in my custom directory. Please help?

yttriumhow are you editing these vtfs? can you pass me the original file and your new one?
I'm editing the VTFs as PNGs in Paint.NET then using VTFEdit to convert them from PNGs back to VTFs.
If you need to take a look at the original VTFs, I have the three of them right here:
BLU version
RED version
"Normal" file
And my retextured version is right here (I made two versions, one with the "demo_kilt_color" name and the other with the "demo_kilt_blue_color" name, although they are exactly the same version. I did not touch the original "demo_kilt_normal")

for the record there's a VTF plugin for Paint.NET that I honestly think works way better than VTFEdit
what I'd say is try taking the original files and then just re-saving them with the VTF plugin. from there we can narrow down whether it's your edits or your save method causing the issue. don't bother pulling them into VTFEdit, just use the VTF plugin directly, that way no information is lost in the transfer (this is what I think the issue is).
you're probably losing one of your channels that PNG doesn't support, which is used for paint color information.
