Here is something, probably navigable, let me know if not...

Edit moves:
- cleaned useless data;
- deleted invisible Flames from void;
- deleted SlimeZones from void;
- culled unused Textures;
- adjusted some Teleporters for being static during network Play in clients, and added new adjusted ones connecting isolated areas (I hope I did not miss something there...);
- added PathNodes.
Current navigation was executed by Editor without any specific errors (let me know if whatever paths are causing movement bugs).

Bit of an odd take:
https://alt-fire.com/playground/maps/6440

Can you remove all traces of oldskool from this map?

I use a different version of it that's not compatible and I prefer my version to that, so I can't even open that map in editor.

Also, are there CreatureFactories on that? If so, leave them there but remove whatever monster is assigned....in case it's an oldskool required monster.

I cannot download it, I'll look for another download link.
The start is already funny - "final6" - perhaps the word "final" has another meaning which I don't understand.

Well, "funny" can be explained as it's a Kaal map.

It's got potential but he did some weird things with it I think we can fix.

I might be able to drop out junks only I would find this map - for me that download button doesn't do anything. I'm not interested to subscribe everywhere for downloading a "magic" final6 map.

Weird, works easy for me when I click it.

Howabout you let me find it elsewhere and you take a look at something else in the meantime?

Large but simple map, CTFM prefix, some infiltration stuff. Assess.

All right, I went to another device with another browser for downloading that "final6" (Assault LOL) - all I have to do now is to send map into my working computer. I'll try to figure which actors/objects are based on "OldSkool" assets (as I recall there were some weapons in previous versions...).

Back to the "final6" Town.
Map has monsters which are using OLWeapons whatever. Another stuff is SevenB also using certain effects from there.
I removed Monster using direct assets but not everything, several inventories are usable normally.
I adjusted useless settings (such as Event added to SpecialEvent, etc.).
Pathing subject:
- I deleted misery from the start spot and leaving PlayerStart actors out of navigation data but only linked in chain - they are not important, spot is already over-crowded causing a lot of useless paths into map and not linked to nodes;

- I did removals and adds of PathNodes for unlocking Bot coverage;
- I relocated QueenDest types for preventing dumb Queens to telefrag monsters and they are excepted from loading useless paths;
- All network is granting access normally to End and is under 1000 Nodes - it won't go over boundaries during routing process.
Let me know if all "foreign" assets must be "punished" here...

If leaving the ship can do issues, let me know. I can reduce the number of paths from that place.

There is a problem on your end. I did not see this here and neither in original map.
But you can try removing all those SevenB things using effects from Olweapons/OldSkool. I tested map using original stock D3D render and I finished it two times without a single problem - I cannot say the same about some CTF-Coret edit. You might have a bugged old version of certain file or you have to disable oldskool and all olweapons related assets by moving out their INT files. Clearly message shows that a class in missing from your packages - Which packages ? - is the question.
