[SOLVED] Packing Custom Content
I'm having a lot of difficulty packing custom content for a map on the Workshop. I open Pakrat, open the BSP, hit "Add", select the containing folders for the custom materials, and then hit Save. Then, I use p2map_publish to upload to the Workshop. However, when a friend tries the map, the custom materials show up as blank white and the cubemaps are broken. Did I do anything wrong while packing?
EDIT: Turns out the person downloading it from the Workshop wasn't redownloading every iteration. I tried it with someone else and it worked.

I would use the auto button first and then add in any other files manually that didn't appear through the auto.
You might have missed the texture - therefore ask for a screenshot from your friend to where missing textures are.
EDIT: also always make sure to say yes when it asks to fix up the name.
I know this isn't what your problem is, but when you add a custom vscript (.nut) it won't ask you to change the fixup path either, so you have to manually do that. I learnt that the hard way. 
As for the cubemaps, did you save the bsp with a different name, perhaps? That might be a problem, so you have to rebuild cubemaps. I'd just save over the non-packed one though, as you can only break the bsp (which you can easily rebuild), and it does make a back-up bsp file.
Strange, that never works for me it seems. I always add my files in manually.

Quick question, what happens if you don't pack something that has a custom model, custom animation, and custom particles? Specifically what I'm asking is what happens if you don't pack HEPs in a BEEmod map and someone plays it without installing the BEE.
Think of all the things we learned
For the people who are still alive
If someone doesnt has the content, it just doesnt load.
For models a big red ERROR appears.
For sounds, nothing happens.
For textures, ugly visibility bugs can happen if they are on brushes. On models they just get replaced by a default texture.
Actually, Portal 2 changed some of those. The ugly ERROR is blue, missing sounds are replaced by some guy saying "Aw, fiddlesticks, what now?!", and particles become a huge spray of red X's.
Some guy? That's Dr. Isaac Kleiner!
Yes, it's still red for all old school mappers 
The only thing that doesn't auto add for me is scripts, materials for models and materials that aren't "lightmappedgeneric" - however all of them ask to fix up the path name.
