Hi. Is there anyway I can "Imbed" my map decription into the .bsp? I want people to be able to read the description when they download it when they join the server. When there is a custom map you don't have the .txt unless you have downloaded it officaly.
Thank you for your help.

You can use a .RES file, as explained on Counter-Map. It's not possible to embed it properly, sadly.

what are you saying ? it is, you just have to create a custom texture with your description on, assign it to a face players won't ever, and focus a camera on : if it's the only one of the level, CS will start the game with using the cam view, and won't unstick from it as long as the user doesn't select a team. after it's only a matter of wadinclude or not ...

You can use some game_text entities to display some text at the start of the round maybe?

One could, but that tends to annoy players. The txt file will appear when the player is at the team selection screen at the start, instead.
The easiest way is going to just include that txt file and a res file.

Well what if the person joins my server and doesn't have the map? They will download the .bsp and the .wads but not the .txt. And that is what I want them to have, the .txt.

Um, just define another thing in the RES for the txt file? The RES file is used when someone doesn't have a map - It tells the person what files to download. Read up on that link Seventh posted.

Wow.. ok I have it but it seems to me that this resgen thing is used for .wads and stuff required for the map to run. How do I work it (what do I put where and type in) and will it put the .txt with it?

Well, try it with WADs, and then look at the resulting file. It's just plain text.

Hmmm... so is there any totorials on how to use it? It is very confusing. What do I do? And where do I put the file when it's outputted?

This is a typical res file - just opened in notepad.
For example, I used aim_glock18.res, in my cstrike/maps dir;
maps/aim_glock18.res
maps/aim_glock18.txt
aim_glock18.wad
overviews/aim_glock18.bmp
overviews/aim_glock18.txt
It simply just says what to include - you want a res file named:
your_map.res
which contains:
maps/your_map.res
maps/your_map.bsp
maps/your_map.txt
And save it in your steamappscounter-strikecstrikemaps dir.
For example, I used aim_glock18.res, in my cstrike/maps dir;
maps/aim_glock18.res
maps/aim_glock18.txt
aim_glock18.wad
overviews/aim_glock18.bmp
overviews/aim_glock18.txt
It simply just says what to include - you want a res file named:
your_map.res

It mightn't've included the .txt.
