Wad Files

[boyle_heights]

I have a few maps that use .wad files. I have them located in the main folder but when CS downloads the map from the server, I get a message saying it could not open the wad file. Should the wad file be located somewhere else?

Thanks.

you need to create a .res file for the map. this file simply tells the server what files to make the client download. Making a .res file is easy:
say the map is de_hoohoo.bsp and the wad file is de_hoohoo.wad
simply open up notepad and type de_hoohoo.wad on the first line, then save the file as de_hoohoo.res .
now upload the res file to the /maps folder and you are good to go.

also if the maps have anyother custom files, like sounds or what not, you define them in the res as well. make sure you include the path to the file, like:
souds/ambience/hoohoobackground.wav

I created the res file. The clients are downloading the files but still get the wad file not found message.

what does your line for the wad file look like?

should be just straight out

de_dust.wad or whatever the name is, no pre directories for it.

Mapname: de_aztec3_b1.bsp
Contents of de_ztec3_b1.res
de_aztec3.wad
828fire.wad


I have tried with the wad files being in the main cstrike folder and having them in the maps folder. Both failed. Thanks for your help.

Is the .res file name de_ztec3_b1.res? Or did you just mistype it here? If it is then you need to rename to to correct it.. its the only thing that looks wrong to me.

I just mistyped it there.

ah.. well I dunno my friend.. make sure you have the .wad files in the cstrike folder... thats all I can think of
