    Omg it worked and my portal gun is now filled with memes, I'll be going around and I'll just see the scout head from tf2 with pitch white eyes and a mixture of Michael Jackson and Bart Simpson looking at me, I love it and amazing tutorial, it didn't work at first because I had my game open the entire time but after restarting the game it worked amazingly. I subbed

    Some problems could be your texture file is the same, and you're just putting it in and you don't know it. Another could be all the files aren't the exact name, in which case you would have to change them because source can be really specific on that stuff.
