After an engineer selects his building, but before he actually builds it, he is presented with a white-outline blueprint preview. This shows the angle, how far a sentry gun can see. allows him to rotate it, etc. I'm talking about this:
I'm making this one silly map, using it to teach myself Hammer Editor basics in TF2. Whenever I'm the engy and I bring out a "blueprint" in this map, the game crashes to desktop with no error message. Therefore, I cannot build buildings.
Strangely enough, this only happens when the blueprint is exposed to the sky. If I'm in the RED base (it has a roof) and I bring out a blueprint, the game doesn't crash and I can build my sentry/dispenser/teleporter. But, if my blueprint has sight of the doorway leading out to the open, it will be exposed to the sky, and the game will crash.
I ran my compile message through Interloper's tool. It reported:
"can't load skybox file skybox/sky_trainyard_01 to build the default cubemap!"
I hear that this is a generic message that everyone gets, and so I may ignore it.
The compile:
