custom model texture is not working

i followed this tutorial and copied every file he had in the video description and of course changed the names and the paths accordingly, but somehow my model in the model viewer is completly black (although the model viewer doesnt show any error messages) and inside the map it switches bewteen completly black and black/white dotted

I have not a single clue why this is and could use some help..

$modelname de_eldorado/torch.mdl $model "Body" "torch.smd"

$staticprop $cdmaterials "models/de_eldorado/" $surfaceprop "torch"

$sequence "idle" "torch.smd" $collisionmodel "torch.smd" { $concave }
