Ok guys... its me again... ive been very busy making this map.. and i am very close to having it done. Heres my problem... i wanted to beta test it with a few of my buddies and when i go to the cs source dedicated server put the map in the maps folder under source dedicated.... everything works.. until i load the map on the server... then it gives me errors saying it cant find the textures....sound files... u name it it says it cant find it..
so my question is how to include textures and everything into the bsp file? im a noobie when it comes to coding. so a step by step answer would be awesome! Thanks a lot in advance..

Ok maybe ur not understanding the issue properly... the sounds work fine in a LAN game.. they dont work fine when i load the map on a server... so i doubt that has anything to do with path names... and if it does how can i fix this? .....
I dont know what u want me to say orpheus.. u clearly "ripped" on me for making a typo in my post... (again i was extremely tired when i wrote it)
Sorry if i misunderstood, but from my perspective it looked like u didnt care what my problem was u just wanted to make fun of my typo.

let's assume for the moment that your not a prick, and i might have a point shall we.
sound issues fail for a finite amount of reasons, most of which are "PATH Typo's"
other causes are things like improper formats and the failure of a server admin installing the sounds correctly. another cause could be your zip paths were not set up correctly.
but lets concentrate on my suggestion. assuming you and the server admin left the paths "default" you both will have the exact same path. but what if one of you took out the "program files" part of the path, would the sounds still play? i dunno, but its possible they would not.
you being tired may account for the typo's, your being tired may account for your first misunderstanding but i am not buying that you are still tired and accusing me of being rude. if i were rude you wouldn't need to guess.
my first comment was valid, my second explained it as such since i had a vaguely similar experience.
the last thing i need to ask is this. did you run the LAN game on the same PC you made this map on? if so, it would have the exact same paths.
if my suggestion is incorrect, please mark it as such and leave me be. :/

Well i can assure u i am not a prick... lol im just a frustrated mapper trying to finish the last parts of his map...
as far as the sound goes...i believe you are correct on some issues.. for example..i think my counter-strike source and all that runs from the STEAM folder. which is under the C drive.... perhaps other people have it in a different location.. so when the map tries to load the sound file.. it searches for it the same location as my computer but cant find it.. so it doesnt play...
So in response to that.. is there a simple way i can include the sound files....and texture files into one bsp format map file for server usage?
Thank you for your patience...
