This is what you do. You have to go to the custom folder in the tf file and make a new sub-folder names custom_things, or at least that's what I did. After that, you make 5 files: Maps, Materials, Models, Resource, and Scripts. For any file that isn't vpk, move to the respective folder (I.E. trade_celshade_r2 goes into the Maps folder in tf/custom/custom_things/Maps). For any vpk files, you move them to the custom folder (tf/custom) and then drop it down. Any further downloads will be put into those folders I've specified.

Didn't work...at all. No matter what I do, it says it ran out of space on a lot of maps, like Death Run Hell Horrors.

Well that's where they go. If they're not working something's wrong with your game.

Well, should I install it again?

Maps go in tf/download/maps. Only personal mods go in custom. All server based mods and stuff goes in download.

They already go in there, they just don't work in there. That's why I made the post.

Making a folder called custom2 in the tf folder won't do much for you. It looks in the custom folder for any map that you may have downloaded.

The servers are updated to use SteamPipe, so the map should work as soon as you download them from the server.

The folder takes one file type while I'm giving another completely different map type.

Make a file in common/Team Fortress 2/tf named custom. Make a folder named maps in the custom folder, and put maps there.

There was already a folder named custom, I made mine custom2, put the map there, and tried to play. It just downloaded the map again and put it into downloads. Should I delete the custom folder already there?

How do I get Saxton Hell's custom maps to work for SteamPipe? I looked around and I didn't see much help on it.

Are you still unable to connect to servers? It should have allowed you by now.

If not, validate the game files by right clicking tf2 in your Steam library, going to properties, clicking on the local files tab, and clicking the "verify integrity of game cache" button.

Thank you, it worked. I was worried for a second. Thanks!

It has to do with how valve is releasing updates post steampipe update. Valve releases the server files first, so clients can't connect to updated servers. In this case they released the client update shortly after so that issue should be fixed.

Well I just recently downloaded the client, I took a break from Steam and just came back not too long ago. Did I gitch Steam by not being logged on?!?

Did you try validating the files?

No, I don't think I have. How should I do that?

Okay, I don't know what's going on. It says the servers are running a newer version of TF2, but I have everything updated. It happened after the Death Run server restarted, I assume the problem occurs on all the servers, but I've only tried to connect to Death Run Hell and Trading Hell. If anyone knows what's going on and how to fix this, please let me know. I don't want to be shut out of Saxton Hell.
