Cant play my maps .. [wierd textures]

[kiwii]

why oh why do I get purple/black textures when I try playing my own maps?

if i download a map its fine, but when i load up one i made and compiled it gets messed up. even the water is a purple/black pattern ..

the compile process dosent give me any errors either ... what am I doing wrong here...?

make sure all your textures are in the /materials folder of hl2 or cs.

ok if you have black overlay textures try adding a sun in the sky. You would need to use a point based entity called "light_env" and set its setting until it works.

If you have a purple water, add another point-based entity called "env_cubemap" and leave its setting at the default.

I think that should fix it all up.
