Did you edit the texture to make it gold?

Make sure the material is typed right, dont add .vtf or .vmt or whatever in the end of the material file name.

find the .mdl file and open it in wordpad or notepad++

go down the the bottom and you'll see a really long line.

at the end of the line you'll see something like "models\Tera\Yuanti\" and that will be your material directory. the vmt and vtf should be in there. to the left of that you might see "YuantiPirateRaider2_diff" which is the vmt it's looking for.

so you'd have "models\Tera\Yuanti\YuantiPirateRaider2_diff.vmt"

if it's already there, then open up the vmt. You'll see something like

"VertexlitGeneric"
{
	"$basetexture" "models/tera/yuanti/YuantiPirateRaider2_diff"
}

That line says your vtf should be in "materials/models/tera/yuanti" and be called "YuantiPirateRaider2_diff.vtf"

Now I am probably wrong so be free to vote this "dumb" but isn't that in a way like resource.AddFile ( "dir" ) on server? I only work with server side and I was a bit curious.
