Attempting to pack a material into your map whose VMT is written in one line or is missing like breaks, which is valid and works in-game, said material will not be packed correctly into the map, leading to a missing texture.
Add said material or asset using the material to any map.
Compile said map with the PACK process enabled.
In-game, set sv_pure to 2 and load your map.
Expected behavior
The material or model should be properly packed into the map, since the VMT is fully functional despite its unorthodox structure and thus displays correctly when the asset is contained in your tf/custom folder and sv_pure isn't 2.
