I just sucked it up and wrote a .res file...
I'm kinda upset I couldn't get this to work, but my .res file works fine, just a little annoying to have tons of textures in a folder somewhere...

oh for crying out loud, now I made it too small and I can't edit it...
here's a pretty picture, if your site will post it, of what Pakrat looks like after I do a scan.
I love how your tutorial on this site will get the textures to work on my computer, but leaves no mention to how to make a map work on someone else's computer, I really think you need to revise that.
Thank you all for trying to help me out here...

Let me be more specific then:
I am trying to put the correct files into the .BSP
I have the Pakrat program you have suggested.
What I did, I ran the program, opened the .BSP, added the all the .vtfs and the .vmts. There is a check box under IN that is checked for all of these files. I saved the file.
When I give the .BSP to another person, the textures do not show up.
They show up fine on my pc.
I even went into counterstrikesource/cstrike/materials and removed all the custom textures I had there, and the textures still show up fine on my computer.
Let me ask a specific question: When my map runs, where is it looking for the textures?
thank you all for attempting to help me, I hope this problem is resolved, I'm a little frustrated because it makes no damned sense...

Greetings,
This is for CounterStrike Source
I have made a map, and have made a number of custom textures for it. I followed the tutorial on this site, and they worked, that is, when I run the map they show up and all my material stuff works like a charm.
The problem is, when I run the map on a local area network in order to test it out with multiple people, the textures do not show up on other machines, that is, while the .BSP is downloaded, the textures are just the purple checkerboard.
I assume that the texture data is not being put inside the .BSP, but I've never actually had to download textures for a custom map before...
I've tried using that packrat thing but the tutorials for it don't actually line up with what the program actually does, and it didn't work.
What do I do in order for the custom textures to work on another machine, and making a .res doesn't seem to be viable as I've never had to do it for any other custom map.
Thank you.
