Packing a BSP does absolutely zip for me (using VIDE, Pakrat, BSPZIP (GUI)).
It's giving me a LOT of headaches.
For the 2014 Detailing contest I've resized a standard model to 1/16th size for the skybox, so it needs to be included into the BSP or everybody will see a ginormous error sign. I do as told by the internet for both VIDE, Pakrat, BSPZip (with a GUI), and the BSP actually grows in size, indicating the model and everything related to it is included in the BSP. I then remove the actual model from the tf/models folder to simulate a stock TF2 install without the custom model to see if the packing actually worked. I compiled 2 BSP files: one with and one without the model packed. Of course, the unpacked BSP shows a big error sign because the model isn't there. However, the bigger, packed version also shows a big error sign, which doesn't make any sense since the BSP is packed and the model is in the BSP (if I open it with Notepad ++ I can see the associated files in the BSP). There is nothing wrong with the model since it shows up fine if I have it installed in my tf/models folder. It also shows up when I open the BSP with GCFScape.
Any help would be greately appreciated.
