## Errors⤶
⤶
If you are getting the error "(map path) is outside of the directory required for game content:" your map is not classed as an addon, which means you either haven't created a map addon or in some cases your vmap does not match the name of the addon package ident.⤶
⤶
If you are getting a "You were disconnected from the server. CLIENT_NO_MAP Reason:(map name)" It means the package ident does not match the vmap/vpk you uploaded.
