    İ need a partner to help me do texturing and modeling.

    I've created a lot of maps, but I feel that one of them has reached the stage where it needs to transition to art passing. It turns out that someone who has never properly art passed a map struggles with the process. This is why I need someone to teach me about texturing, modeling, and...

Essentially, on regular control point cap, payload cart's direction is overridden with an alternate path node, which diverts to a DIFFERENT checkpoint which later converges with the main path to the next. I got the...

    Hammer doesn't like it when I use HDR skyboxes.

    I get this specific error every time I use a skybox that has HDR properties like sky_gravel_01 (the one I want to use) according to the sky list on the developer wiki. I don't get this error when I use a non HDR skybox like sky_badlands_01 (the one I've been using to avoid the error thus far)...

    Hammer isn't recognizing any of the skyboxes I use and the game doesn't launch when i try to run the map

    I've looked on the valve dev wiki and used the skybox list there but nothing works, even the default skybox (sky_tf2_04) doesn't work. Also the game isn't launching for whatever reason I don't know if it's bad optimization on the map itself or my computer not being able to handle it maybe even...
