Question about .wads Created 20 years ago2004-05-20 23:43:03 UTC by Griffin

ok if u have ur own server if some of the maps u put on it have custome textures will they be downloaded with the map if a player doesnt have them?

yes, I think. but this stinks those people who have 56k.

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.

England and most of great britain havent got b-band right?
Here, it's as common as a tv.

britain? where are u guys located? i was just assuming most people were in the US (speaking english in all) that usally just what i think

You offend me.
Sweden, the northrend of the world!

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...

but hey does it really matter what part of the world we live in? We are all fellow mappers here together in this small community working together and helping eachother

No, most of the UK has ADSL coverage now.

but hey does it really matter what part of the world we live in?

I don't think it really matters. Whe only can't visit each other to hold a mapping-party...

im all for it

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.

steals international waters there, set

how about lan party on cruise???

Hey I'm an Australian, don't dare call me American! (Even though at this rate were gonna be the latest state of America...)

You are? Try living here.

hehe good point

Im going to Australia for Christmas this year...

Come to Finland - We have polar bears (Really, we don't, people just think that)
