All the TF2 maps that come with SFM have HDR, are you trying to load some custom maps or something?

[cp_steel enjoyer]

no but i read what it stood again and it said that HDR was disabled and i needed to use vrad or the hammer tool to get HDR for the map

Some of the earlier maps and most of the Custom Maps (ie Snipers Ridge, sn_2 Fort, etc) were created without HDR. I am in the process of trying to convert some CS:S maps and have found that they weren't created with HDR. There is a big learning curve on decompiling, editing and recompiling maps so that they use HDR.
Jimmer Linds has a YouTube Tip of the Day on converting HL2 Maps so that they use HDR. I believe it is TOD #10.
