Whenever using cogs other then ones from Res2.gob, add them into your project directory.

1 more thing, use one of my cogs.

Hm... NeonSign... APP1/2... That won't work! NeonSign will only work on the Neon Sign MATs. The NeonSign COG plays all apart from the first 2 frames. When you damage this surface it will freeze on the first frame (broken). Use 00_surfanim.cog!

Both of them work. I even rechecked for the 100th time (thats an approx number, but true) both of the cogs work. You must be doing something wrong. And all cogs work in both reg and debug modes execpt ones with a special verb and flag combo. BTW - recopy them, they had some debugging text in them, looks bad.
