Having Trouble Getting TF2 (SDK Build) To Apply The Files Inside The "download" folder

[CuriousTommy]

Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to reproduce the following bug in the SDK build of TF2: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Source-1-Games/issues/3633

However, I am having issues with the game not detecting the files I added to the download folder. On normal TF2, my pop file gets detected without issue.

Putting the files in the mod_tf folder works, but it won't help me reproduce the issue since the files have to be in the download folder for the issue to occur.

Here is the layout of the download folder:

~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/sourcemods/mod_tf/download
├── materials
│   └── hud
│       ├── leaderboard_class_frog_classicon_flaticon_mihimihi.vmt
│       └── leaderboard_class_frog_classicon_flaticon_mihimihi.vtf
└── scripts
    └── population
        └── mvm_mannworks_linuxclassiconbug.pop
