The Steps

First, Load a Rocket Launcher

As You Can see, It Is the Default Rocket Launcher Without any sheens.

Second, Navigate To The Weapon's Material Files.

It Should be in materials\models\weapons\w_rocketlauncher

Third, Open The VMT One.

Then Copy All of This to the VMT But leave the $basetexture

What To Copy ?

"VertexlitGeneric" { "$baseTexture" "Add The Weapon's $BaseTexture Here " //"$bumpmap" "Add The Weapon's $Bumpmap Here " "$phong" "0" "$phongexponent" "30" "$phongboost" "4" // "$lightwarptexture" "models/player/pyro/pyro_lightwarp" "$phongfresnelranges" "[.25 .55 3]" "$halflambert" "0" // "$basemapalphaphongmask" "1" "$rimlight" "1" "$rimlightexponent" "3" "$rimlightboost" ".2" "$rimmask" "1" "$glowcolor" "1" // Cloaking "$cloakPassEnabled" "1" "$sheenPassEnabled" "1" "$envmap" "cubemaps\cubemap_sheen001" "$envmapmask" "Effects\AnimatedSheen\animatedsheen0" "$envmaptint" "[0 0 0]" "$envmapmaskframe" "60" "$envindex" "1" "Proxies" { "AnimatedTexture" { "animatedtexturevar" "$envmapmask" "animatedtextureframenumvar" "$envmapmaskframe" "animatedtextureframerate" "40" } "invis" { } "ModelGlowColor" { "resultVar" "$glowcolor" } "Equals" { "srcVar1" "$glowcolor" "resultVar" "$selfillumtint" } "Equals" { "srcVar1" "$glowcolor" "resultVar" "$color2" } } }

After Copying You should have something like this.

Replace The Top $basetexture with the lower one and remove the $bumpmap.

So, You should have something like this.

Now, Save and time to go to sfm again.

Go To Sfm's Console and Type mat_reloadallmaterials , To Refresh the material we just saved.

Then Right click on the Rocket Launcher Model and Click AddOverrideMaterials

Then Right Click Agian And choose Show i Element Viewer Then Click Model.

Expand The Yellow Materials Word.

And Expand the w_rocketlauncher01 And Copy The Mtlname.

Then Right Click On the Yellow materials Text, and click Import Element, Then Navigate To The Weapon Proxy.

It should look like this.

Right Click on the Weapon Sheen Proxy, And Click Make Root.

Then Paste The Mtlname you Copied Before To the place where it says "Place Material Here"

Finally, Change The Color Of The White Box To any color you want.
