[CSGO sdk][SOLVED] My friends can't see anything on my map

[Pancakesandsyrup123]

Hey! Thanks so much for tuning in, because I really really need help. I've spent about a year on my map de_mall, and recently (today, November 26) I got this bug where none of my friends can see anything on my map, but I can!?
This is how I describe it:
When my friends join my map, the only thing they can see, is the ground or nearby walls, and surrounding them is a black box (actually multiple). It seems like there's a Grid of these black boxes, and it makes the map litterally unplayable . However for me, who has made the map, it seems totally fine.

I have packed the custom material multiple times, and tried to polish it as well as I ever could.

This bug has never happened to my maps before, and this is what I did between last update:

- I added hint brushes and areal portals, but I removed them again because I thought maybe that was the issue
- I kind of went ham on the func_details, trying to add as many as I could.
   I'm bringing this up, because on this https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Troubleshooting_Level_Design it says the following:
"Brush entities are black"
This can be caused by a corrupt entity. Recreate the entity by clicking Move To world, then Tie to entity in the Tools menu, or use the buttons on the New Objects toolbar.
The second cause, a common cause for map porting, is having the color keyvalue set to 0 0 0, which worked fine in Goldsource, but it shows for all rendermodes in Source.

Thanks for the attention, and I would be so grateful if anyone could help me out and this issue!
EDIT:

I linked a video showing the problem down below.

Also, this could very well be linked to the issue, so here's the deal: I didn't experience this before, but just noticed that for some reason when I look around in certain areas, parts of the level disapear and if I look another direction, it comes back again. All this started after I did the things listed above.

To me the most obvious possibility is that you’re not packing the map correctly.

Can your friends see any default assets at all?

I'll post a video so you can see

If you can see them but your friends cant then it's probably not func_detail or whatever, 

What software did you use to pack? I recommend VIDE since it finds most materials/models automatically.

EDIT:

Also, when you say "I have packed the custom material multiple times", do you mean you tried multiple times on the same version mid development? because you're supposed to pack just once once you compiled a finished build

Yes I use Vide, I simple scan the Counter-Strike:Global Offensive/csgo folder, and just apply it

EDIT:

Yes, what I mean by that is that everytime I wanted to playtest the map with my friends, I packed the custom files. When I added new one's I packed them all again, am I doing it wrong?

Yeah, the models aren't packed.

 

When using VIDE;

- Open the map in VIDE, press Scan.

- Make sure your directory is "common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo" (dont forget the start of your disk name, etc, etc)

- Press Scan, when done, press CNTRL + A, and press ADD (under file options)

- Now press Apply.

 

Update us if this helped.

Alright, thanks a lot guys! The map seems to be working now, both me and my bud see the textures without an issue so far. Thanks, it really means a lot to me, especially since the deadline for the contest is getting  closer  Thanks again
