The map needs to have a mapname.res file, wich is just a text file that stores the pathname and name of the files that are necessary for that map.

So if you have a map named killbox.bsp, wich uses killbox.wad and some custom sounds, cry1.wav and yell.wav, you'll have to create a file named killbox.res, wich should include the following lines:

killbox.wad
sound/ambience/cry1.wav
sound/ambience/yell.wav

Killbox.bsp is automatically downloaded, and whenever there's a .res file with the same name, it's downloaded too, as well as the files specified in it. You can make .res files easily with notepad, just give it the extension .res.

The people in this community are spread all across Europe and America. When someone speaks english that doesn't mean he lives in the US or UK. Although I would quickly think so too, I must admit... :nuts:

Someone should steal a yacht, set up 903 lan computers in it, go to un-territorial waters (no laws, yhey), and we could all meet there.
