This happened before when people ran fy_iceworld. Are you running fy_iceworld?

Try deleting it and see if that fixes the problem. We used to have it in the default installation but we took it out for exactly this reason.

Why would it require you dl the file unless you have .res file saying you need it?

only thing i can think of is the de_vegas.wad, its a texture file that is used for map making, but you usually dont have to download it unless the map builder compiled incorrectly

Iceworld requires it and Valve did not inluded it thier steam release(s). Usually people have issues dling de_vagas wad which you just need to create a .res file, not the other way around.

its not fy_iceworld its HLGuard if you run

// Filescans
//hlg_uafilelist addons/hlguard/config/%M/hlg_filelist_net.uafile //

in your addons/hlguard/config/hlg_net.cfg file

i had the same issues with my server and i remove that line and it stop i may be wrong but thats what i did when deleteing fy_iceworld didnt work

It looks like that line looks for a list of file that needs to be installed or it check the map for dependent maps. If its the former then editing the file to exclude de_vegas.wad whould do the trick, if its the latter remove iceworld from the server.

I have never seen this behavior before. If you can get us the ip so we can look into this and test it and may be develop a work around.

When the map was made, (fy_iceworld) the author used the de_vegas.wad as a texture source, and when he compiled the map he did not use the "nowad" command meaning that the map will reqire that the wad file exist on any sustem wishing to run the map. It has little or nothing to do with the res file and has everything to do with the way the hl engine checks for needed resources ie the de_vegas.wad.

If you want to run this map on your server then you will have to have the de_vegas.wad file uploaded into the root dir of your game server. (remember that this means that everyone joining will have to download it from you) it's best just to not use the map and maybe even upload an alternative map that does not use a wad file.
