custom rope texture problem

[swiss_cheese9797]

Hi, I'm trying to create my own "Crime Scene" tape and using them on hl2 rope entities. When I try them ingame I dont see the yellow tape or the words "crime scene". The rope is just all black. I used the cable.vmt to setup my texture's .vmt file so I dont think that's the problem. Anyone here know a solution? Thanks

make a simple model of crime scene tape just a thin cylinder.

well there are other options to create crime scene tape for the map but i really want to use ropes because I'd like to be able to break them and watch em dangle afterwards. thanks tho
