Trouble importing MVM maps into SFM.

Monathin · 08-17-2012, 07:23 PM

Using GCF, I attempted to extract the mvm_mannworks map so that I could work with it for some SFM ideas. Imagine my surprise when it was chock full of errors!

...Actually, it's not that surprising, but I'm still trying to figure out how exactly I'm supposed to correct extract this map. I've got the map itself, and I think that props_mvm is in the right place, but it clearly isn't registering since every time I load up there are errors everywhere.

Really, I just want to play around with Mannworks in preparation for the Saxxys, but I'm having way too much trouble with this.

If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it. I imagine it's something incredibly dumb I've overlooked.

If you've got time, extract your entire GCF folder into your SFM>TF folder. It won't add that much data considering VALVe already put a lot from TF into SFM for us.

Tried that, no luck - in fact, it's a bit worse! The import seems to be causing a crash to desktop with this error:

"CSceneFileCache: Bad scene image file scenes/scenes.image"
