Custom assets not loading even after packing and repacking

[Doomguy]

I downloaded custom assets from this site for my map and followed the rules it states on custom content, I packed the Bsp file of the map in CompliePal and repacked it in-game, I then renamed my custom folder in tf, and restarted tf2, I loaded the map up and the model was an error. I do not get why it is still an error even after I followed all the steps.

Does anyone know any solutions to this problem?

Sometimes custom content gets missed. Idk why it happens but it does. You can manually pack things using VIDE. TopHattWaffle has a good tutorial on what to do:

Give that a go, you should be fine after that.

Occam's razor: did you copy the packed map to your map folder? CompilePal will give you an unpacked file alongside the final BSP, and at a glance you can tell which one is uncompressed. Example, the smaller sized file here was repacked:

CompilePal does a good job getting mostly everything (especially a model seen ingame), but in niche cases you can also manually include or exclude files. You go to Process (+)/Pack/ (which adds the pack process), then Parameters / Include / then the exact destination of the file you want packed. (ex: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\custom\mycustomstuff\sound\asoundhere.wav"

Also, you can use sv_pure 2 I believe to skip renaming your custom folder to check your map was correctly packed (which is always a good habit to have).
