RP Maps Failing to Load?
Hello, I have come across an issue that's fairly recent, over the past few weeks I've experienced a number of downloaded RP maps failing to load, I will try to launch the map in single player only for it to revert back to the main menu after a few minutes or seconds depending on the map. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, disabling and reenabling in the addons menu, and reinstalling the maps affected but to no avail, any explanations as to why this issue occurs and any suggestions for solutions are greatly appreciated, thank you.

EDIT: 27/12/19: RESOLVED. I forgot this discussion existed, I discovered that the extended paint tool was causing decal issues and would cause maps to be unable to load, sending me back to the menu. As to why this only occured on Roleplay maps is beyond me.

Try loading a basic map that isn't RP, and type in console "map (name of any RP map you have here)". If it works, use this way to load RP maps, and if it sends you to the menu, load the basic map that isn't RP again, and check the console for any errors while map was loading.

I tried out your suggestion, map once again failed to launch. Got this message in console:

'Warning: Table decalprecache is full, can't add decals/bills04a

Host_Error: CVEngineServer::PrecacheDecal: 'decals/bills04a' overflow, too many decals'

Not sure what to look for in regards to the console, just read the last paragraphs. Thoughts?

It can be and surely is about the decals limit. You can paint decals by using the Paint tool, but there is a limit for that. And the maps may have passed that limit.

I see, any way to fix that?
I think you can somehow change the decals limit by using the console.

I have the same problem, however some RP maps are unaffected and some regular sandbox ones are.
