RVMAT changes not applying with non-original versions

[Brennie Boi 1]

Hey there! 

So I'm trying to extend an existing mod (ParagonGearReduced) so that I can add another item to the list. If say I retexture the blade part, and even copying the original RVMAT file completely will not allow it to be modified. Thing is this script in particular uses 2 parts of RVMAT in the original script, so I feel like it could be conflicting there. 

		class DamageSystem
    	{
    	    class GlobalHealth
    	    {
    	        class Health
    	        {
    	            hitpoints=6969;
    	            healthLevels[]={{1, {"ParagonGearREDUCED\Karambit\data\Karambit.rvmat", "ParagonGearREDUCED\Karambit\data\Karambit_Blade.rvmat"}}, {0.7, {"ParagonGearREDUCED\Karambit\data\Karambit.rvmat", "ParagonGearREDUCED\Karambit\data\Karambit_Blade.rvmat"}}, {0.51, {"ParagonGearREDUCED\Karambit\data\Karambit_damage.rvmat", "ParagonGearREDUCED\Karambit\data\Karambit_Blade_damage.rvmat"}}, {0.3, {"ParagonGearREDUCED\Karambit\data\Karambit_damage.rvmat", "ParagonGearREDUCED\Karambit\data\Karambit_Blade_damage.rvmat"}}, {0.01, {"ParagonGearREDUCED\Karambit\data\Karambit_destruct.rvmat", "ParagonGearREDUCED\Karambit\data\Karambit_Blade_destruct.rvmat"}}};
    	        };
			};
		};

This is how the original format for the RVMAT's look, and is implied in my script and will function properly. If I change it to mine, it'll break the RVMAT's completely, and cause the blade to never take on an RVMAT. Not getting any errors in appdata so I gotta learn how to set up a server for debugging. Would appreciate if anybody could simulate the same thing on their end. 

Here's an example of my RVMAT
