Hi! I'm a TF2 fan and I'm trying to develop my first TF2 map. I tried to open my map in the game to do a little test playing, but for some reason the game won't open it. I used the "Run Map" function in the Hammer workshop, set all the options to "Normal", checked the boxes labeled "HDR" and "Don't run the game after compiling", and filled the Additional Game Parameters with "-dxlevel 98 -windowed -w 2560 -h 1080 -console -novid". All this I got from the map development page on Steam. Any suggestions?

OK, so I checked the compilation file, and it said my skybox file isn't valid. I tried fixing it, but it still doesn't seem to allow it.

To clarify, you are checking the box that says "don't run the game after compiling"? This would stop the game from automatically starting and loading up your map.

You can also manually load the game and type "map <your map name>" into the console to load it yourself, it should have still put it in the maps folder.

Your compile log is showing a leak that you should also try to fix. The skybox file one can be ignored.

You are also getting something about your onedrive folder causing some hang ups, this is possibly causing issues but it looks like it's still compiling. I'd experiment with putting the vmf in a different folder as a test.
