Trouble with normal map.....

I added a normal map for my gun skin but in the loadout menu and only there does the gun look weird like I did something wrong but in game it looks fine. I edited the vmt setting the phong thingy to "0" and even deleting the line completely so it definitely shows the normalmap but like I said the gun looks broken in the loadout menu. I used the Nvidia plug-in to make it!

Here's picture of what I'm talking about!

Let the ants die muhahahahahaha!

*ahem* On a serious note, this is common with custom installed textures that have custom normals. I believe (and this is my opinion based on no fact) that it depends on what program the normal map comes from. Some of my normal maps show in the menu, some make the players (player actually, my whole entire sniper's body is gone except for his head because of a skin I use) invisible, some don't. It's just a minor nuisance that you will ahve to live with unless you switch back the the default texture.
