I made a blue and a red texture for
my map, to make the bases of the two teams. WHen someone joins my
server they download the map but not the texture, and they see the
infamous purple checkered thing instead of the blue/red. Is there any
way to include custom textures with the download for them?

You probably just need a .res file, but you might try this program. It will include your textures with the .bsp.

Well, I guess it's a good thing I downloaded it when I still could!

Be warned that, despite what I say in the documentation of pakrat,
custom models don't seem to work when embedded into bsp files. I don't
know why, and I suspect the reason is hidden somewhere inside HL2/steam
where I can't get at it.

Custom textures work fine, though. Be sure to add both the .vmt and .vtf files.

I fixed the link in that post, btw. Seems to work now.

(Edit: D'oh! .vmf changed to .vmt :smile: )
