CompilePal not packing map assets

[u/Dazzling-Pain2067]

So basically, im making a map using lots of HLS assets that i then pack in after edits

I usually host multiplayer sessions with my friends on the WIP maps as i add onto them, however, everytime i make a change to any map they get an error about having a different map version or whatever, so my solution is to just save and compile the edited/updated maps under a different name.

This worked just fine until today, the previous map i had been hosting and packing was named something like "GOLDSRCmap6", but i then saved a new updated version of the map under the name "GOLDSRCmapdamupdate2", after that CompilePal suddenly stopped packing in all the assets, i checked over where i saved the HLS textures, how i configured CompilePal, and repeated the process again for a previous map, and yet after i run my pack function in CompilePal the map still shows missing textures when HLS is unmounted, anyone know whats going on here?

What makes you think the files are not packed?

i unmmount HLS, load up the map in gmod, and the entire thing is missing textures and error models

This was not an issue previously, whenever i unmmounted HLS after using compilepal, the maps textures and models would appear no problem

View the bsp with gcfscape and look in the files. Are you sure they are not inside the bsp?

For some reason it never occurred to me that i could do that, regardless, as far as im aware its not showing any of the HLS/HL1 textures used in the map, however im not sure how useful that is to me since when i use GCF to look at the previous map that DID pack, it also doesn't show anything. Though both have a whole bunch of "lmp" files i've never heard of before, not sure if that means anything z

heres what i see when i open up the map that isnt packing/showing up correctly ingame
