when i compile my map either in hammer or compilepal, when tf2 loads, it doesnt open my map. instead it just opens tf2 and thats all. and im sitting there, in the main menu. the main reason i trying to solve it is that probably because of it i think compilepal's nav process doesn't work. since to do nav process compilepal needs to open my map and generate it through a command. and since my tf2 doesnt open it, if i close tf2 the compilepal just crashes, or loads (i think) infinetly if i open the map myself.

Compile the map again and see what's being reported into console if the map fails to load automatically. Could be that the map file isn't being copied into the game's folder or, if compiling in Expert mode, the command for loading the map in-game isn't properly configured.

You've got models that should be used with prop_dynamic instead, and a model that doesn't even exit. However, I doubt that's the problem since, as you say, loading the map manually works. Please check whether the console reports something if it fails to load the map automatically.

i checked console reports and theres nothing that can interupt the map opening or is not stated in map's compile log. any more ideas why this happens or how to fix this?

Then it could be the other cause which is Hammer-related; make sure that both "Copy file" and "$game_exe" commands are checked, with their respective parameters being:

Code:
Copy file: $path\$file.bsp $bspdir\$file.bsp
$game_exe: -dev -console -allowdebug -game $gamedir +map $file
