made .vpk files, what now?

Question

So i used vpk.exe to make the folders in this texture mod .vpk files so that i could add it into the game. I thought this would work since this ambassador fix made by the same person and the triple barrel loch n load fix were both .vpk files. I thought that if i turned the folders for each weapon into .vpk folders, they would work in casual like these 2 mods do, but after turning them into .vpk files, they are still not working in casual. I use this autoloader. if anyone could help me figure this out, it would be appreciated

Valve's Casual servers and certain community servers run the command "sv_pure 1", which the value of 1 makes the server read from a list of what certain files can be loaded (i.e: Texture replacements, Animation Replacements, and certain Model replacements) to be loaded back to stock TF2 assets.Recently there's been a work around with how Valve makes certain folder load custom assets, the Vgui folder is unprotected by sv_pure for custom HUDSs, thus allowing people to make custom textures load under the right circumstances. I highly suggest reading this tutorial /hub on how to casual fix any mods, or search on the site for pre-existing fixes.
