Lots of Missing Textures
So, after I downloaded the map at first, I got missing textures everywhere.

A lot of it.

After I managed to get what I believed I needed, I still got missing textures after I loaded up the map. A tried a few other solutions, but the map still have a massive amount of missing textures (the roads, every building I see, etc).

I seriously need help.

There's nothing you need, as mentioned in the description. Everything is either included with GMod or packed into the addon. For every update that I release, I try to ensure that the map works properly on a fresh GMod install.

You most likely have other addons that are causing things to get overridden with faulty/incomplete content. Try temporarily disabling all other addons, restarting the game and then running the map. If everything works then, re-enable the addons in small groups so you can find out which one causes it.

I got did what you said, and disabled all of my addons excluding gm_fork, but the moment I loaded the map up, there is still the dreaded purple and black checkers.

I dunno what is going on with my Garry's Mod.

Did you also make sure to restart the game after disabling the addons?

Many of the textures in the map are from HL2, which are included with GMod even when you don't own the game or have it installed/mounted. Those textures are used by almost everyone, so I would expect the same issue to occur in other maps, too. If that's the case, you should verify the integrity of GMod's game cache as described here: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335

If it's not the case and the issue only occurs in this map, then I'm not sure what could be causing it. Maybe GMod is bugging out somehow because your PC isn't powerful enough, but I've never heard of that happening before.

Gmod's game cache is a-okay, and I did restarted after disabling addons. I have the same issues on another map, as well. The tornadohighway_2014 map also has missing textures and error models. Really, this is what gm_fork looks like in my game:

Hmm, all of those are definitely HL2 textures. I just thought of another possibility: You might have some faulty content in your GarrysMod\garrysmod\materials directory. Those can override the default content even when addons are disabled. See if you can find a VMT and/or VTF file named concretefloor037b in a subdirectory called concrete. Delete the file(s), restart the game and see if that fixes the road texture.

If it does, you'll have to do the same for the other textures. You can probably afford to just delete the contents of the entire materials directory, since it likely only contains files that were automatically downloaded upon joining servers. But you might want to back it up just in case.

Hm, okay man, I'll see if that'll work.

Oddly enough, when I accessed the materials files, all I found was spawnicons, temp, and vgui. There was no concrete subdirectory, nor there was any other subdirectories.

What are the specs of your computer? Most importantly, which GPU and how much memory do you have? Like I said earlier, it might be a hardware-related issue somehow, as the map is quite resource-intensive. That's the only possibility I can think of at this point.

As a last resort, you can try uninstalling the game, deleting the GarrysMod folder from your steamapps\common directory and then reinstalling. Steam will remember which addons and other workshop content you've subscribed to, but you might lose some other stuff, so do this at your own risk.
