help with modding a regular map

hey all! So since this game's activity is rather low I decided to make a map which would facilitate getting certain achievements. I've already made a map for farming zombie kills and added it on gamemaps but now I am struggling with cx type map since I don't know how exctraction game mode works.

So I came up with idea. I decided to take cx_barlowesquare and edit it in a way that there;s only one place with survivors and one extraction place where you gotta lead them. I managed to get the map and add required changes but now I don't know how to put it back in a vpk file.

I tried using vpk.exe in bin folder but the cmd screen just hangs for a bit and just closes without making a vpk file. What do I do? Maybe somebody wants to give a hand and make this map together?

You need to put the files in their respective sub-directories before packing into vpk.
In your case with the map BSP file, it should be my_modded_map_folder/maps/cx_your_modified_map.bsp. After you put stuff in the needed folders drag the parent folder (or my_modded_map_folder, from the example above) onto vpk.exe
