Hello, I'm new to mapping, and while making my first map, I've noticed that these lanterns that you see in the provided screenshots become black when facing a direction, what could be a possible fix for this? (for reference, I think it might be a lighting glitch as my light ent is situated right...

Hey, It's me again, so ever since I made this thread (Which by the way thank you so much to the people who tried to help me it really meant a lot) I've been trying to figure out what exactly was that I was doing wrong and came to the (non-confirmed actual) conclusion that I've may have screwed...

Hi everyone! My friends and I played daily on a map we found on a random server around 2012. I remember spending all summer playing on the same server who always hosted the same map. The server was shut down some time later. I would love to revive that experience again after all this time but...

Hi, I have a map with custom models, but when I compile the map and test in on a different computer, the custom models are not there, instead the missing model texture is loaded (the error thing). When I open the map file, I've notice there's not custom models (neither custom .wav files). How...

I'm making an attack/defend map and I have a team_round_timer entity already but during setup time the BLU spawn doors don't lock themselves. I have all of the required things for functioning spawn doors but they don't close during setup.

i've had this scenario on multiple occasions and i have researched tons of sites and lost countless hours troubleshooting it. basically, if i place a light entity it will almost certainly leak if exposed to the skybox. the thing that drives me insane is the fact the pointfile red line draws a...

Hello, I'm making a map that requires fast spinning objects but they keep hitting the angle limit. I have been told there are ways to bypass the angle limit but I work best with tutorials and can't find any. If anyone has any good tutorials for bypassing the angle limit please post them here...

The map in question: https://tf2maps.net/downloads/downstream.15574/ Recently I tested this version of the map and got some complaints related to framerates dropping massively when approaching the central area from spawn. I knew this could become an issue eventually, but I never realised the...

Hello, seasoned mapper here. I've decided to finally try making an MVM map and have done everything needed. The whole checklist is ticked. However, when I go to load a .pop file on my map it doesn't load. No errors show up or anything either, quite strange. I've successfully loaded pop files on...

Morning, So. I have two gates in my MvM map and seems that there's an issue with teleporting robots to other spawn areas. At first, it does work and robots get teleported to gate01 spawns but it spits out these errors. I have addressed this by putting infoteamspawns with the associated...
