Custom assets help

That's the plan

So I'm relatively new, and with that being said, how exactly do I put/download custom assets into a map? I'm just trying to get some of the invasion update assets/models to work right, but I don't know where to start.

Any help would be appreciated.

For custom assets, usually putting the assets into your custom folder would be enough. I'm assuming you know how to get there, but just in case:

1. Enter Steam
2. Right click on TF2
3. Click properties
4. Go to the 'Local Files' tab
5. click browse local files
6. Click tf
7. Click custom

Installation of props:

So, once you are in the custom folder, you want to be very careful to put ONLY THE FOLDER WITH THE ASSETS! Putting a folder containing folders will cause hammer to break.
Once you have the folder there, save and close hammer(if it is open), and re open hammer. You should have all the assets installed.

Let me know if this helps!

Thanks for the reply. I was also wondering, how do you pack them into the map so that other people just don't see missing textures or something?
