aim_ak_colt_mix: cannot open WAD Created 18 years ago2006-04-01 01:53:34 UTC by bUrdeN

Hey guys,
This is my first map and I am new to mapping. I edited aim_ak_colt with the help of you wonderful tutorials. I compiled my map with Zoners and put the bsp in my maps folder in steam. When I made my server and ran my map I got an error saying:

WARNING: cannot open cstri.wad

does any on know what I sould do?
here is my map: http://

If anyone could help me get my map running then that will be very apritiative
TY

when you hit f-9, turn hit the smart edit button.
In the paraneters tab, locate the csg line, then input"-wadinclude cstri.wad"
make sure the wad is in the same folder as all the others.

should work

That's only if you're actually using the WAD's textures in the map. If you're not, remove the WAD from Hammer's "Textures" list in the Options dialog and re-compile. Do that for all the WADs you're not using in the map in question.

Hey
Thanks Ill be sure to try that out.
Can you guys see if it works on your comp?
Thanks

1) Post in the correct forums

2) maps like aim_ak_colt_lol_duts_remake7_lol_2k6 are generally shit. get an original idea.

3) until you remove the .wad or -wadinclude, it will not work on our computers.

thats quite rude... :

yeah it is, but i figured i'd post that so that J.C doesnt have to write a 300 word post on why aim maps are awful...

Agreed.
aim_ak_colt is already a complete piece of crap and creating a remake of a piece of crap isn't very smart.

Imo - most remakes ruin the gameplay/feeling of other maps (forget the feeling - it's ak_colt). ak_colt is shit, so theres no reason to make it even more like shit. The only stuff you could addto such a piece of shit would be:

An underground area (useless, since there are no sniper weapons in the map)

An AWP, hidden somewhere, that won't even be noticed, since most players will only care to pull the trigger first, rather than to run to the AWP, which would be suicide.

Some ladders, to get on top of the walls (ruins the gameplay)

Some extra crap, that's generally useless.

So my advice is: Don't waste your precious time, trying to make gold out of shit.

I agree. Better think of something new and unique. And make a map yourself.

Does anyone read what I wrote? please say no...

lol thanks guys
