rope material for move_rope entities

[swiss_cheese9797]

yo, I've been trying to change the material of the keyframe_rope entities from the default cable.vmt to the rope.vmt but when I try the map the material doesnt look like rope, but is always all black. any Idea what I could be doing wrong? Thanks.

Whats the difference between those two anyway?

well the rope material looks like actual corded rope (at least it does in the material browser in hammer.) I also tried making my own keyframe_rope material mirroring the specifications that the cable material uses for its setup, but that was all black in the map too.

to me they all seem black:S

I have no fix.

I don't know much about ropes in Hammer but the swing in the playground seen in d1_trainstation_02 using this rope material. Perhaps looking at how it's setup may help.
