Properly setting spawn? Having problems with "my_first_map"

I'm following the following 2 guides (first one doesn't have proper detail and second one isn't for TF2):

In following them I've set up "info_player_start" inside of my room, however whenever I start it, I start OUTSIDE of the room, and two walls aren't shown. I'm familiar with 3d editing somewhat so I know that the walls are properly placed, and I'm 100% sure that my spawn area is within the room (I've triple checked!)

Is there anything else I could be doing wrong? Did something change and it's NOT info_player_start?

:s
Or is there just a better guide? I got to these two by checking the 'compilation of guides' of sorts here. o.o

Probably a wrong entity, because tf2 doesn't use info_player_start, but info_team_spawn.
Also, a recommendation from me is to place the spawnpoint a few inches above the ground (sometimes you spawn underground I've noticed).

EDIT: The reason you were spawning outside the room is because without the proper spawn, the game spawns you at the map origin point, or some similar case.

Thanks both of you. The only other weird thing I noticed was that the origin point was indeed inside of the room as well, I'll retry it using the proper entity though :]

Oh and it turned out working perfectly fine.
