	// PLAYER COLOR CUSTOMIZATION
	// ------------------------------------------------------------------------

	// The following chain of proxies is to modulate phong tint (and rimlight,
	// by extension) according to your chosen player color, but only within a
	// certain saturation range: 50%. This might be confusing, I tried my best
	// to comment it, e-mail [email protected] if you have any
	// questions regarding how player colourability is set up in VMTs. GLHF.

	"$blendtintbybasealpha" "1" // alpha channel of $basetexture: color mask.
 	"$blendtintcoloroverbase" "0" // blend mode. anything =/= 0 is ugly!

	// --- Test values. Comment the PlayerColor proxy to use one of these.
	// "$color2" "{0 0 0}" // Black
	// "$color2" "{255 0 0}" //Blue (default)
	// "$color2" "{59 121 160}" // Blue (TF2)
	// "$color2" "{180 52 41}" // Red (TF2)
	// "$color2" "{100 72 58}" // Brown
	// "$color2" "{140 208 112}" // Green
	// "$color2" "{248 166 202}" // Pink
	// "$color2" "{160 100 140}" // Purple
	// "$color2" "{242 168 96}" // Yellow (gold-ish)

	"$PhongBrightnessScalar" "0.5" // see below. "0.5" will get overwritten.
