Spawnroom & Intel Room Detailing Mini-Contest - Q1 2016
- Thread starter Freyja
- Start date
My map apparently has packing and HDR problems. I did both tasks and I have no idea why it isn't working. Any ideas?

Once I had it messed up by repacking the map. Maybe it was that?
@Inqwel, it was fine for me.
So far the only maps with problems were:
The Siphon: No packing, no HDR cubemaps
Lotso: No packing (only one single error prop) no HDR cubemaps.
Sil: No HDR cubemaps
Rayere: No packing, no HDR cubemaps
Wilfire: No HDR cubemaps
Aeix: No packing
I lonly oaded them in HDR, so some of them might have working LDR cubemaps.
That quite a lot of messed up submissions actually, I hope I didn't screw something up either. Did I?

Might be cool to have some volunteers for the next contest who check the submissions for these kinds of problems.
I tested it by removing my customs folder. And if anything, LDR, not HDR cubemaps could be broken.
It's may be fault of compressing map. Some users won't load them for unknown reasons. Try unpacking map. If that doesn't help. Remove my map, BECAUSE I DON'T FUCKING CARE I'M OUT OF THIS BULLSHIT CONTEST
I seem to recall The Siphon's map working. I suspect this may have something to do with the fact I downloaded the BSP directly from Dropbox shortly after its release. Is it possible something went wrong when Freyja put them all in one zip folder and put it on Mediafire?

What about my map? I have heard nothing about my map so I assume it's working? I tested with some friends, and everything was fine for them.
@umbratile from voting thread...
Also, in my voting-notes, I have aeix with missing textures, captainclam with missing cubemaps, flowershopguy with maybe too many cubemaps, lotso as fullbright, rayeress with some missing textures, rtk with some black overlays, thesiphon with missing construction map stuff and cubemaps, wilfire with missing construction materials and nicktf as apparently working fine, if snowing inside. Any of these could have easily been my fault, somehow.
It's adobe, a type of dried earth building material common in the American southwest. I think they did use the ground texture, which makes sense. Example pic for the curious

ah, there is a custom adobe texture for download here. This map would have confused me much less if it used this one instead of the dirt texture.
EDIT: talking about this one: http://tf2maps.net/downloads/adobe.386/ @Tierra-Verde

Oh yeah, the first thing my mind went to when I saw that was "wait, this should obviously be wood/stone, did they accidentally replace the textures?" and then I just forgot adobe exists. That said, I don't think the regular dirt texture was effective as replacement for adobe, even if it was a neat idea. I should probably edit my post to reflect that.

Dang, I thought I built the cubemaps correctly... I guess that's what happens when you do a final compile at the last minute after not releasing any maps for over a year. Oh well, I was never really expecting to win. I'm just proud that I was actually able to finish something again.
Man thanks a lot for your videos. It took you 8 hours and the videos come to like 3 hours or something? Wow thats crazy. i just got finished watching them all and there's so much useful stuff in there. Actually I kind of wish I had put more effort and attention to detail into my entry now since you put so much into these breakdowns heh. Much appreciated!
