I'll be sure to try and download the maps beforehand this time.

Missing textures, the map maker neglected to embed them into the map. You'll see that time-to-time.

Actually the purple is something different


For a reflective surface, there is a base texture, say a shiny black floor, there is the base flat black, then the "shiny" part that goes over is it a cube map.

Imagine you have a camera that takes a 360 degree picture of everything around it, this picture is a cube map, its a special kind of texture that is then applied to reflective surfaces.

So when you map in hammer, fixing the purple thing is as simple as putting ONE FUCKING ENV_CUBE object in the map, because when the map compiles the textures for anything reflective, it looks for the nearest env_cube object to apply a texture for a reflective surface.

Ideally you'll have several, one near each reflective surface you have, but at a bare minimum any map needs at least one.
