Pink and Black Texture Problem

[FishyUberMuffin]

My map is mostly black and pink textures were the textures from the Autumnal Content Pack. I have repacked my map. https://tf2maps.net/threads/repacking-your-maps.24822/

Are they cubemap textures? Did you build the cubemaps yet?

 

[FishyUberMuffin]

There cubemaps in the map

Ok..... So did you build them?

 

[FishyUberMuffin]

Yes. If you want to. I can give you screen shot of the cubemaps.

That might help.

The thread you have linked is for repacking maps, not packing maps.

Packing maps refers to packing the custom assets into a bsp so they show up in game, while repacking maps refers to compressing them in order to reduce the overall filesize of the map (repacking doesnt pack the assets into the bsp)

In order to pack the assets into your map I would recommend a tool such as compilepal or VIDE

I downloaded Compilepal. Do you repack first or compilepal first?

Placing cubemaps in the level is not all you need to do. As others have stated, you need to actually build the reflections.
The pictures are now missing, but the guide is still accurate. - https://tf2maps.net/threads/cubemaps-what-and-how.4530/

That said, you never actually said if it was due to missing reflections. Can you tell us the names of the textures your using, and provide screenshots of them in game please?

Pack a map, either with compilepal, VIDE, BspZip or something else. Once all the content has been packed (and tested by running it on a computer that doesn't have any of the custom content saved), then you repack it (aka compress the file)

What I always do, to avoid this sort of mishap, is save cubemaps until the map is fully detailed. If there are absolutely zero env_cubemap entities in the map, you won't get an annoying purple cubemap when you don't build them. The cubemaps will still be broken, but it will be far less noticeable without the checkerboard everywhere.

Here is another good tutorial on building cubemaps too.

I recommend skipping to the last post in that thread though. That method has never failed me.
