[SOLVED] Bright custom test chamber sign

I have a really bright custom test chamber sign, and it only returns to normal when I get real close to it. I used Omnicoder's Test Chamber Sign Maker, not scripts for the sign.

Here are some infos of my sign:
-Its a func_brush and it contains three stages of flickering. Disabling and enabling through a relay.
-There isn't any light infront of the lightboard
-The lightboard name .vmt & .vtf doesn't have any spaces (and capital letters), and it still doesn't work.

Any ideas? :-?

EDIT:
Solution:
In .vmt file, turn
$selfillum to 0
and lower minimum light level of the func_brush to 0.25

it looks like a self illuminating texture. What you could try is edit the vmt; set $self_illuminating to 0. Make the thing a func_brush and set its minimum light level to 0.9 or something.

Another (probably better) idea is to put in a pti instance for the scoreboard. If you upload your map to the workshop it'll show up with correct information :D

Did you use the Alpha Mask option in the signmaker? If you did you should have $selfillum 1. Otherwise $selfillum needs to be 0, or the glow looks like in that picture.

Falsi sumus crusto!

Thanks Lp and Felix! It worked but it stills self-illuminating, but not that intense compared to the previous one. The minimum light level is 0.9. Should I tweak it abit?

Hmm, well, that idea is good but the giant chamber number and the progress number will mess up :(

Try lowering the minimum level to 0.75 or lower; that'll make it less glowy.
