Couldnt Open Wad Files

[Mr. White]

Only reason im posting here is because i have searched steam, day of defeat, nfo forum and have failed to find an answer.

Im uploading custom maps onto my server, again im having problems with these wad files. I have created res files for maps in ex. dod_dream.res

In my res files i include all the files that come with the map. I have created a dodmaps directory on my site to support sv_downloadurl. In my server, config i have sv_downloadurl 1 "http//mysite/dodmaps"

However, i cant open the wad file. I have put the wad file into the main directory, no work. I have put it in a sub directory, no work. I also tried putting it into the map directory still no luck. I keep the res files in the map folder correct?

I have tried many variations and havent any luck and wondering if any others are having simliar problem or could you tell me what i might be doing wrong.

Thank you for your time,

ahh yes this is what for a dod_dream.res

dod_dream.wad
maps/dod_dream.txt
models/mapmodels/flo_grass.mdl
models/mapmodels/w_gfolder.mdl
overviews/dod_dream.bmp
overviews/dod_dream.txt
sprites/obj_icons/dod_dream/icon_obj_custom1_allies.spr
sprites/obj_icons/dod_dream/icon_obj_custom1_axis.spr
sprites/obj_icons/dod_dream/icon_obj_custom1_neutral.spr
dod_dream.cfg

This is what i have now and works perfectly now, i dont know why the space makes the differnce between the wad and other files, but it does.

dod_dream.wad

maps/dod_dream.txt
models/mapmodels/flo_grass.mdl
models/mapmodels/w_gfolder.mdl
overviews/dod_dream.bmp
overviews/dod_dream.txt
sprites/obj_icons/dod_dream/icon_obj_custom1_allies.spr
sprites/obj_icons/dod_dream/icon_obj_custom1_axis.spr
sprites/obj_icons/dod_dream/icon_obj_custom1_neutral.spr
dod_dream.cfg

Works like a charm, sorry to disturb ya.

I have the same problem with the wad files.

I have created a dodmaps directory on my site to support sv_downloadurl. In my server, config i have sv_downloadurl 1 "http//mysite/dodmaps"

How do you created res file?

[Nick|NFo]

take a look at our tutorial on creating .res files here

[Fyrmn472]

I created the following .res file for dod_advance. Here's link to download: http://www.addictedtodod.com/downloads/ ... dvance.exe.

Code: Select all

dod_advance.wad

maps/dod_advance.txt
maps/dod_advance.bmp
maps/dod_advance_detail.txt

I left the space after the .wad file line, but I still get .wad error after downloading. Any suggestions?
