I spoke to mudkip to see if he had the same issue and he did not. The difference between our set-ups, as he pointed out, is that he "patched" Matuka's Aerowalk textures when they were first released (before Matuka packed them all into a pk3). This means that he had these textures already loaded into his data directory and thus loaded by the game. I'l willing to bet that most people won't have the aerowalk textures set up like this and will face the same issue as me.

I tested it out by simply placing aerowalk(hub3aeroq3a_nex_r4) into my data directory and re-loading the game. After doing this, I was able to see all the textures. I'm not an expert or a mapper, but I do believe that all textures that don't come with the game should be placed in the map's .pk3 file. Take a look at another map to see the structure if you're unaware of it; as I'm no mapper, just a guy trying to be helpful, and thus I have no idea how a pk3 is supposed to be structured.

Aside from this, my initial run-around of the map was fun and I look forward to seeing how it plays out in actual matches.

first of course the jump pads are placeholder checkerboards for me at least.

second I find the design, the always same textures and the quite limited color pallet something that could use some enhancement, add some decoration, some color, some banners if anything, its really a boring map to look at atm. really you are not the only one, xonotic quite often lacks in the looks of the maps.

Very solid layout, a lot of vertical action, mega armour room is great, this little window between tele-destination and MH is also pretty cool.
At first i thought the distance between MA and electro is too big, but now i think it's ok, you just need to make this laser jump properly

with some neat detailing this might be a great map, also for 2v2, as it seems big enough to handle 4 players.
it is indeed a maze at first, but quite a logical maze i must say, and navigating around isn't that hard after some minutes.

i will take a closer look on your map, especially item placement, someday soon, but first impressions are definitely positive.

I don't have time to give much input now.
