custom textures that download

Hi, I am creating a Half Life 2 deathmatch level, however it includes custom textures, I need to be able to have those textures download when a player joins the game. Now I get stuck easaly so if someone could explain it to me point by point it would help.

if your textures are not embedded in the bsp, your task is impossible.. at least to my knowledge.

Might want to check a few topics down. :smile:

That should start you off on the right track. Personally I don't know much about it, but it's something to do with bspzip.

In future, check the forums properly before posting a new question. I
know that there wasn't an answer to the other post, but posting a new
topic won't get the other one answered any faster!

You should be able to find bspzip in C:Program
FilesSteamSteamApps[yoursteamusername]sourcesdkbin although I'm
not sure how it's used. Google around a bit and there should be a tut
somehwere, although Valve have a pretty comprehensive one
here.
Hope this helps.

[EDIT] Damn! Orph got there before me!

I saw that but its complicated, I need someone to explain it to me

Also, how do I know if a texture is included in half life 2 by default so I know when making my levels that it will work for everyone?
