Hi, over the past month and a half or so I've been working on my first map. I planned to be done with it last night, however I've run into a number of problems towards the end of the mapping process. I'll put my log at the end but I'll present my problems first. I'd also like to add I've spent several hours trying to fix these issues and I've used various guides and "error" detectors as well. So if anyone can help me I'd appreciate it.
1. The map is a gravel pit 3 CP style map. As of now I cannot for the life of me get the final point to work. It doesn't even seem to interact with the players (as in if I'm red I don't get a message saying "this point is already owned" and I can't cap it on blue even once I capture the previous 2 points). I have the correct setup, I've followed multiple guides and they should be setup right but it still won't work. They have the same group index, different individual indexes, the final point has the first 2 points as prerequisites, and points A and B both have themselves as prerequisites. This is probably the most important problem to solve as its essential to game play that I have the points working.
2. In the past I was able to build my cubemaps with the mat_specular 0 etc. However my last couple compiles have left me with a "queued material systems: disabled" error which forces tf2 to shut down. There are no leaks in my map, I've checked several times, put my compile data into a few error detectors and physically searched my map for leaks. It has the standard purple checked appearance. I have tried to do this on multiple resolutions and it's always the same thing. There is quite a bit of water on my map so its fairly important that I'm able to fix this error.
3. Overlays do not show up. I'm not sure if this has to do with not being able to build cubemaps but even when I could build cubemaps I was not able to see them. Not sure really what else to say about that, other than I have signs and such that are overlays and so it's probably a good idea that I find out what's causing the overlays to not appear.
And now my compile log:

Thanks to anyone that can answer my questions. I've looked through as many threads as I can and searched multiple sites for answers. I've fixed most of the errors I've encountered on my own but the fix to these few is eluding me. So if any can help that'd be fantastic.
1. The map is a gravel pit 3 CP style map. As of now I cannot for the life of me get the final point to work. It doesn't even seem to interact with the players (as in if I'm red I don't get a message saying "this point is already owned" and I can't cap it on blue even once I capture the previous 2 points). I have the correct setup, I've followed multiple guides and they should be setup right but it still won't work. They have the same group index, different individual indexes, the final point has the first 2 points as prerequisites, and points A and B both have themselves as prerequisites. This is probably the most important problem to solve as its essential to game play that I have the points working.
2. In the past I was able to build my cubemaps with the mat_specular 0 etc. However my last couple compiles have left me with a "queued material systems: disabled" error which forces tf2 to shut down. There are no leaks in my map, I've checked several times, put my compile data into a few error detectors and physically searched my map for leaks. It has the standard purple checked appearance. I have tried to do this on multiple resolutions and it's always the same thing. There is quite a bit of water on my map so its fairly important that I'm able to fix this error.
3. Overlays do not show up. I'm not sure if this has to do with not being able to build cubemaps but even when I could build cubemaps I was not able to see them. Not sure really what else to say about that, other than I have signs and such that are overlays and so it's probably a good idea that I find out what's causing the overlays to not appear.
And now my compile log:

Thanks to anyone that can answer my questions. I've looked through as many threads as I can and searched multiple sites for answers. I've fixed most of the errors I've encountered on my own but the fix to these few is eluding me. So if any can help that'd be fantastic.
