Well, they're ok.

I just made a quick plugin to precache all the my wavs and mp3. So it's all being downloaded at fast speed!

Thanks for helping me. ^^

Ehm.. another one:

It works all fine for me, till.. my CS wants to download WAD Files. It sais "Could not open ...wad" and crashes. I dont know whats happening here - i could download my wads from the webserver - after inserting in my cs client theres no problem..

i tried a Download url with a /cstrike folder. It seems, that the Server dont even tries to send the wad file. Could it be a missing Res-File?

I had this problem when I made the res files in notepad, if I used resgen then the wads get sent.

No idea why this is as the notepad version was identical but hey it worked so I just use that now.

In fact the HL engine is pretty good at knowing what files need sending (sprites/models etc) and a res file is generally not needed until you have a map that has a wad file, then the only way to get it to upload to clients is a res file and for me the only way to get the res file to work properly was to let resgen make it for me.

Thanx, will try!

hm.. a friend of mine said, that he couldnt get the wad.
CS told him "could not open as_tundra.wad" and closes.

All maps have res-files.

Colster · 02-09-2006, 09:47 AM

Did you use ResGEN to make them though, give that a try

02-09-2006, 09:51 AM

Yes, i had..

02-09-2006, 09:52 AM

Cannot edit? Hm..
anyway - The content of the ResFile for CS_India is:
gfx/env/indiaup.tga
gfx/env/indiadn.tga
gfx/env/indiaft.tga
gfx/env/indialf.tga
gfx/env/indiart.tga
gfx/env/indiabk.tga
maps/cs_india.txt
maps/cs_india.bsp
sound/cs_india/song01.wav
sound/cs_india/song02.wav
sound/cs_india/GameCfg.wc

There´s no WAD..
How could i tell ResGen to add this entry´s?

02-09-2006, 09:54 AM

I see - in cs_bikini.res f.e. it has a wad-file.. hm..

Colster · 02-09-2006, 11:21 AM

Yeh typically if ResGEN doesnt add a wad then the map doesnt have/need one.

02-12-2006, 10:39 AM

has any one got the banner.gif to work as yet? I see we got the connection host gif back but my banner.gif is still not working i did work before steam messed it all up.

Colster · 02-12-2006, 11:57 AM

It won't work, probably ever... steam/valve have turned it off and have no plans to re-enable it

Colster · 02-12-2006, 11:58 AM

Update on the wad issue, I used ResGEN to make a res file for dod_skyline_b3 and it didnt add the wad.

I had to add it manually but it only worked if the wad was the first entry in the list.

hi all.. does anyone know a good freeweb where i could upload my files??

cuz my server is getting popular and i have lots of files, maybe i could upload some to the web and leave some for the default server download

thanx

02-19-2006, 09:58 PM

freeweb?? not possible especially for fast download for maps it uses alot of bandwidth so if you did go with a free host you would max ur bandwidth out on it within a day probabally...just rest some webspace cost ya $15 american or $10 canadian.
