Hello there im new here
Im also new at hl mapping but its kinda easy though the Tutorials here are the best. but i have a problem I made a relly cool map and cant upload it its like 10 megs because i used my own textures and stuff. and at freewebs they will not let me upload it to my website does anyone know a good web host for free? because freewebs is crappy

how come its like that big even zipped!?

Thats like, wooooooww....

Well the map is only around 1meg but the darn wad file i made is 9.06mb is their a way to make it smaller? i used wally to make it.

You could get rid of textures you didn't use

Yeah, that's the only way.

try -nowadtextures and see if that makes it smaller.

Im just going to make a bunch of smaller wad files i guess will that work? and were do i use -nowadtextures at?

Quote from our very own Custom textures tutorial:

Including the Textures

...-wadinclude, but this one only works with Zoner's tools (Version 253). Instead of putting all of the textures used in the map into the BSP, it only includes the ones from the WAD(s) you specify. In other words, you can tell it to include only the custom textures that you created. To use it put -wadinclude wadname as your CSG parameter, where wadname is the name of the file. You don't need the extension or path (these will be taken from WorldCraft). So your Parameters box should say something like this:

$path$file -wadinclude mytextures

To add more than one wad file to your .bsp, all you need to do is add another -wadinclude command

$path$file -wadinclude mytextures -wadinclude mytextures2> and so on...

Yes, you have to use the -wadinclude prefix for every new wad that you want included.

Did not atom make that one?

I just made a real small wad file.
It took like 3 hours for it to comply. but it works
And when i play over lan the other computers dont download the wad file how do i get them to?
I uploaded it but it said my screen shot didnt upload. everything should be in the zip its name is the lost tower

You need to make a .RES file. It's far better to -wadinclude though. Google for RESGEN if you care.

I found resgen on united admins. thx
