custom textures in half life2 dm

i have made some custom textures for hl2dm...they show up in the texture browser for hammer...but they wont draw in hammer...they leave a blan wireframe behind after applying them to the brush.....i think i have missing settings in the vmt file but cant find what they are...here is my settings

"LightmappedGeneric"
{
"$basetexture" "materials/customtex/stone/brick080"
$surfaceprop    brick
}

what is the [pre]
"........ for ...what goes there

It should be customtex/stone/brick080 not materials/customtex/stone/brick080.

yes Aaron has pointed out that all paths in vmt's are relative to /materials. On top of that though i have no idea why you are having html tags in your vmt like that. here is standard custom one from my hl2dm folder:

"LightmappedGeneric"
{
    "$basetexture" "dm_pueblo/pueblo_stone1"
    "$surfaceprop" "rock"
}

where the absolute path is

D:/Steam/steamapps/accountname/half-life 2 deathmatch/hl2mp/materials/dm_pueblo/pueblo_stone1.vmt

thers no 'div' 'pre' or anything else there, is that something that happened in yr post?

Yeah I think the html tags is some snarkpit glitch.
