VIDE and Pakrat not working

[Mr. Kabanos]

Hi , I have map with custom models/materials (Frontline Model Pack) and I want to all people see them correctly. I used VIDE and Pakrat but they are not working properly. Can you help me out? Please.

Define "not working properly"

I assume the definition is improperly packed.

When I am uploading map to Steam Workshop everyone who don't have models installed see Errors and pink and black texture on roofs etc.

Run us though what you are doing step by step for both Vide and Pakrat, particularly if you are following any guides/instructions for them.

 

[Mr. Kabanos]

ok I am using this tutorial for Vide http://tf2maps.net/threads/vide-a-how-to.21661/ and packing manually form my folder

Are you actually saving the BSP after going through the steps?

I've had recent issues with VIDE not packing stuff (you can test it on your own by starting TF2, opening the console and typing sv_pure 2. If the game shows missing content or outright crashes, congratulations you have unpacked content). I switched to CompilePal (which I already use for compiling anyway), checked the Pack function, and it worked first time. I'm using that from now on, because it works.

Try using CompilePal instead of Vide. Don't even bother with Pakrat, it's outdated as balls.

Yeah

What is the size of the .bsp file before and after packing? It should go up once the content is packed in. If it does not go up, it has not been saved.

Size of .bsp go up a lot.

here's a Q, is the .bsp you're uploading the tf/maps file or the file hammer creates in the same folder as the. vmf?

Are you uploading that version of the map?

 

[Mr. Kabanos]

Are you uploading that version of the map?

Yep.

I will check it

Actually , yes when I saw this I compiled a map and packed everythink again and upload it to the workshop. Still got errors

Maybe try packing with BspZip, and instead of uploading to the workshop load the map on a local server with sv_pure 1
