Help about editing weapon textures/skins

I want to add my flag and my nickname on (for example) my rocket launcher (for movies, not to play). I installed GCFScape and open my “tf2_textures_dir.vpk” file with it. And after I found the “v_rocketlauncher01” file, I extracted it to a new folder and I edited it with Adobe Photoshop CS3 as I want. Untill this situation everything was okay but I can’t replace this vtf file (v_rocketlauncher01) with the old one in GCFScape program in tf2_textures_dir.vpk. It just lets me to extract the file, not to do other things like editing the file.

Anyone knows how to do this edit, can help me?

I watched all of this videos ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1tlShnI9qA&index=16&list=PL5FA4D17F823C06B3) to learn this but I think problem is about steampipe that I should know for replacing the new files.

I am pretty sure you can no longer add anything custom in sv_pure 2 servers/even demos.

Yep.

I remember playing on the esea config, and it worked fine.

Is openplugin still a thing? Couldn’t you install it just for offline stuff or something like that? I wouldn’t do it on a main account but some kind of plugin would surely work right?

I tried it again. It doesn’t work on first person view demos, servers but It works with STV demos. Interesting…
