A cubemap is a set of textures that are stored on the sides of a cube. They are commonly used for static reflections in Source engine games, such as TF2.

Missing cubemaps

Maps that are in development may have missing cubemaps. This causes the familiar effect of all reflections either reflecting the skybox or the magenta/black missing texture fallback texture.

Cubemaps must manually be captured by the map author using the buildcubemaps console command. Note that this changes the BSP file for the map, meaning that the map will differ from the version on the server.
