[h1][b]---- Troubleshooting:

IMPORTANT: If something isn't working in-game, chances are the fix for it is below. If you have a problem, scroll down and try the fixes before starting a discussion.[/b][/h1]

-- Broken Cubemaps (Shiny purple reflections) --

This is the most common problem, but luckily it's quite easy to fix.

Open up the console, and enter the command "mat_specular 0" without quotations.

If you don't know how to open the console, here's how: http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Console#Enabling_the_console

Then enter the command "reload", and wait for the map to load.

-- Mounting TF2 EP2 L4D2 Content --

Short answer is you click the little controller icon on the Gmod menu screen, and tick the required games.

The longer and more step-by-step answer is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T2-tOfWJw0

Keep in mind you need legitimate copies of the games installed on Steam to mount them.

-- Missing Content (ERROR models everywhere) --

Purple textures and red error models everywhere mean the required games haven't been mounted correctly.

The only fix is to have legitimate copies of the required games installed on Steam and mounted in Gmod. If missing content persists, the fault is on your end and out of my control.

-- Unlocking the door behind the boxes (spooky warning) --

Remove the planks with the E key. Breaking them with a crowbar won't do it, and will make it impossible to go through without noclipping. (This was my dumb fault, I need to update this map)
