Can't you just add $selfillum 1 to the VMT of a green texture surely that would do it (though I think you may need a mask or something, but if its the whole texture i don't see why you would). Have a look [url=http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/$selfillum]here[/url].

I must be doing something wrong, it appears as black and purple checkers, in the VMT i put

LightmappedGeneric
{
$basetexture C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\-MY USERNAME-\half-life 2\hl2\materials\neon_green
$selfillum 1
$surfaceprop glass
}

yea you need just this:

"LightmappedGeneric"
{
$basetexture "neon_green"
$selfillum 1
$surfaceprop "glass"
} 

Not the whole path. (Theres also some other stuff i've fixed there that might have caused problems, but likely wouldn't, but best to be sure).

I'm also assuming your texture is in VTF format, as if its not it must be converted to it to work.

I did a [url=http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?p=17921322#post17921322]tutorial on basic texturing[/url] yesterday if your interested :)
