TF2 keeps crashing when attempting to use a sound mod?

I've recently downloaded a mod that allows 3 of the TF2 character models and voices to be changed.

I've looked up on the wiki with my previous problem of making the voices work wile the models were working just fine.

My problem now is that whenever I activate the code sv_pure 1 and start a server, my game crashes and I don't know why.

If anyone can help me I'd be very grateful.

Best Answer

The code "sv_pure 1" makes your server [or game] not accept edited files. These include sound mods, graphical mods etc.

sv_pure 2 is no custom content at all.
sv_pure 1 is custom content allowed if it is whitelisted.

About the whitelist: It checks the pure_server_whitelist.txt file in server's hl2 directory

See here for the page about this on Valve Dev Wiki and here for the default whitelist file.

Note: Even if you whitelist it, you still won't be able to join sv_pure 1/2 servers except yours.
