I've been getting error's where my lights.rad are missing, and materials that I've used before claim they're missing.Also whenever I compile it says the map can't be found.I'm creating maps on a different steam account because my other one is undergoing "maintenance".I transferred all the steam files from my old to the new so files should be the same.I've run it through the interlopers error checker,gave me what I know. "Check for Problems" gives me nothing, as well as the valve developers things.I've uninstalled the game and re-installed (kept my saves so not to lose them).Not sure what else is left to do.Here's the compile Process:

It's for a hollow cube mind you

Trying uninstalling STEAM then reinstalling TF2 and Source SDK. Hoping this will fix the problem.

If your lights.rad is missing or corrupted, try verifying your cache.
