The error is caused by the lack of an aas file. This file is only needed for sp bots and will not cause any problems if you dont have any bots. (I dont think, I map for mp) As for the dreaded grey boxes, a few things could cause that. Most often it is caused by using a nonworking texture...not all of them work. Try a different one.

The reason is that the sp and mp parts of the game were made by two different developers. Some things work in sp but not mp and vis versa. Lazyness accually, some things have been fixed with patches but it seems to have been done for splash damage not the community.
Lets hope they wake up
