Quick question. What would be the way to insert the custom models and textures that you packaged? Do I have to extract them to the correct folders or just drag the entire folder into my .../team fortress 2/tf folder?

just paste them in your sdk_content/tf2 folder or team fortress 2/tf2 folder

I'm not sure what you're asking. Models which were already "packaged"?
If you mean, into a .bsp that you plan to distribute to other people or upload to the server? BspZip, or PackBSP, or Pakrat.
If you're just trying to test things out, put your files in the right place under your "Team Fortress 2/tf/" folder. ex: "c:\program files\Steam\steamapps\steam_logon_name\Team Fortress 2\tf\models\weatherballoon.mdl".

tell us, tell us
Amen
We don't have enough comp players around here so I'm sure posting some comments on the contest maps will get you revered as a god in a few days :O
EDIT: Apologies YM if I make you write this again, so models are ok as long as they are available in the download section for anyone to use and aren't map specific (so they would ONLY work in your map or an identical situation FROM your map that no one else could replicate or would be allowed to replicate)

Yes, don't know, and contest only, I think.
Chill out in the chat some, Flame seems to be on top of things regarding pugs on contest maps. Or at least that's what it LOOKS like he's doing. Might just be disguising other suspicious activities. Other than the lobby that is. ANYWAY.
Doing a low key impromptu would probably get you a 6vs6 game going. Bottom line is, ask and you should receive. Failing that, Donate, and then receive

You are correct. Also, custom models/textures can be specific to your map if you, the map author, are the one creating them.
Yes probably lots of it, can't say when, will definitely be organised for contest maps, you might have to organise them yourselves for non-contest maps.

As long as both teams have a chance to score with no limits on the number of captures, it is alright.
If teams are earning points for anything other than capturing a flag then no.
If you're awarding them points for holding the flag for x amount of time, that is not capture the flag but king of the hill.
That is quite incorrect, Teams must be capturing flags to earn their points, points awarded for any other reason like simply carrying a flag for x seconds or carrying a flag whilst the timer hits a specific time on the clock are not allowed even if both teams have equal opportunity to capture.

Please consult the CP contest for any inquiries regarding custom content. Does anybody here know of a good place where one can get some demos, or what I'd really like to see would be a location heatmap, to find out where competitive players not only fight the most, but go the most.
