so im trying to get custom control point icons to work for my custom hud. so far, ive follow what was said here : https://www.teamfortress.tv/19073/hud-editing-short-questions-quick-answers/?page=171
and follow the hierarchy in mkhud. i also copy + pasted the controlpointicon.res, controlpointprogressbar.res and controlpointcountdown.res from mkhud. i believe i saved all of my vmt's as transparent, and follow the instructions as to the dot as i can. however, when i load up into an empty server my control points look like this: https://imgur.com/a/YHWhSTb
most of the time they just show up as black or phasing in and out of it. however, if i stand in a certain position looking a certain way, they randomly work, such as like this:
https://imgur.com/a/FTXqWCG
i do not know what i did wrong. im thinking maybe its cuz i didnt save it as translucent in photoshop, but it did not prompt me with an option to do so. i saved it as a png, for reference. feel free to comment for my hierarchy/file setup and ill gladly link it.
any help is appreciated.

WeShallFallendid you followsolly6EDIT 2: Fixed it by setting the shader to UnlitGeneric
if yes you may need to preload the materials into mainmenuoverride.res to bypass sv_pure if you're using it, though this shouldn't cause them to appear black

THANK YOU. i hadnt read down that far. they work now. thanks so much.
