Excellent idea, but it doesn't work in practice yet. I get this error:

Could not find material C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\SourceMods\Jailbreak\METAL\METALCOMBINE001.vmt

metalcombine001 is:

  1. A material that exists in the hl2 folder
  2. A material that exists in a GCF

Unless the error is wrong, the only way to get around it is to dump the entire material library of HL2 into my jailbreak mod folder!

Why do you look for the material files, anyway? The only data that makes it into the SMD is their name, and you already have that. --TomEdwards 13:30, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
