Description
With the release of the Gun Mettle update, valve changed the model texture layouts for a handful of weapons including the medigun and the stickybomb launcher, and because of this all of the textures needed to be re-baked from the old version of the model layout to the new version. However, Valve has baked the texture for the australium Medi Gun and Stickybomb Launcher incorrectly. The current alpha channels for these 2 weapons don't match the versions from before the Gun Mettle update released, causing parts of the model that weren't gold to shine as if they were gold. This fix attempts to correct these textures to be as close as they can to the versions from before the Gun Mettle update.

A thing that I can't fix is the texture for the medigun itself. With the new texture valve had baked over, they changed the saturation levels of the non-gold bits to be greyscale. Since I don't have the original textures, I can't bring it back to how it looked before. So that is something Valve will need to address.

Included with this submission is the VTFs for the Australium medi gun and stickybomb launcher for cross reference on what should be fixed on the existing texture sheets.
