It's hard to explain but here is a picture: map doesn't compile as well (when using this texture)

Everytime I try to load my map my TF2 crashes, I already deleted hammer, TF2, and I reseted the hammer configurations with source sdk. It still crashes everytime I try to load the map in TF2. So I looked in dumps (steam\dumps) I didn't make a new save file every time I saved, can I fix this...

(I haven't been mapping for quite a while, so I forgot how to fix this xP) I got this problem with the models when I go away from them, they just turn into colored blocks after I've gone so and so far away from them and I don't remember how to fix it.

I am trying to making it so bullets can't go through but players can. I've looked and can't find any guides for it. As soon as I make the block bullet texture a func brush with no solidity it removes the block bullets effect. I'm trying to do this to help prevent spawn camping from messing with...

So right now i'm trying to make a remake of harvest with a frontline and mann vs machine theme, but i have an issue. I can't really use the decompiled version of harvest, because it automaticly causes bugs and leaks when you alter it, so how do you remake it then? I know, that other people, that...
