The $detail VMT parameter specifies the VTF texture to use for adding detail to the material surface.

Greyscale image usually used (in conjunction with "$detailscale") to add higher resolution detail to the $basetexture.

"$detail" "Path/DetailmapA"

where Path is the filepath relative to the game_directory/materials folder.
where DetailmapA is the filename; ie DetailmapA.vtf.

"$detailscale" float

"$detailframe"

"$detail_alpha_mask_base_texture"

dx9
TO DO ... something to do with masking by the alpha channel of either $basetexture or $detail?

 * where '''<code>Path</code>''' is the filepath relative to the <code>game_directory/materials</code> folder.
 * where '''<code>DetailmapA</code>''' is the filename; ie <code>DetailmapA.vtf</code>.
-* where '''<code>float</code>''' is the scale factor
 * Notice the <code>.vtf</code> file extension is not used in VMT texture references.
