Team color?

I am making lightsabers for one of my maps ^_^
Someone has done it before, I wish I knew how.
I'm using oinkerwinkle's tools for this, just to let you know.

Anyway, what I'm doing: I'm making a "stick" that sharpens to a point, kind of like a lightsaber. When holding the lightsaber item, this stick will be attached to your hand.
Then I tried UV mapping it with some custom images, and it didn't seem to work - when I tried to make blue it made it red.

After tweaking a couple of things I found that it was red because the team color was, by default, set to red. When I changed the team color it changed the color of the saber. Anyone have an idea how to make it so that it stays the same no matter what team color I use?

I think it was by editing the materials. I will prolly know what to do if you show me the materials section of the model.

Please post the mdl code here.

From the start of Textures, to the end of Materials.

In the mdl you should have these lines:

Bitmap {
Image "",
ReplaceableId 2,
}
change them to

Bitmap {
Image "ReplaceableTextures\TeamGlow\TeamGlow01.blp",
}

O.O

It's been a while since I looked here.

Tim. has helped me out with the problem, thanks a lot. It turned out that there were quite a few problems, the first of which was that I wasn't using a valid filetype.

Thanks anyway, however :)
