'''How can I stop the SFM from crashing when I use custom-made or imported models and maps?'''
'''How can I get my custom models and maps to work with the SFM?'''


If your models or maps are causing the SFM to crash, try recompiling them.  For information about compiling models, see [https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Compiling_Models https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Compiling_Models].  For information about compiling maps, see [https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Saving_and_Compiling https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Saving_and_Compiling].
If you want to use custom models or maps with the SFM, recompile them first.  For information about compiling models, see [https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Compiling_Models https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Compiling_Models].  For information about compiling maps, see [https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Saving_and_Compiling https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Saving_and_Compiling].
