Research direction

Start at lua/outfitter/cl_util.lua:665, where GMABlacklist parses the materials/models/8163/clothing.vtf texture, and trace the call from lua/outfitter/ui.lua:815. Reproduce with the linked Steam Workshop playermodel and verify that non-power-of-two textures no longer produce the parse error during autowear.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Addon errors when a playermodel uses non-power-of-two textures. Source can actually handle them, although stock tools don't produce them. See VTFEdit Reloaded and its fork VTFEdit++.
