Texture - .RES File

Okay my map is near complete but i have one single custom texture that
works on Hammer and i know is in the correct place, buti dont know how
to make the ".res" file iv heard so little about to download the files
from the server.

So far i created a notepad document, saved it as aim_tropic.res (my
maps called aim_tropic) and stuck it with the map in the map folder,
the notepad contains the following:

--

"resources"

{

"materials/onmaps/aim_tropic.vmt" "file"

"materials/onmaps/aim_tropic.vtf" "file"

}

--

I had a guess at the above from putting bits together i have found on
the internet but i cannot find a full blown tutorial anywhere, or
anything of much help. If someone could please explain what i must do
OR tell me any commands that will include the texture files into the
.BSP, that would be amazing appriciated.

Please someone :sad: , i know someone knows this on here, surely :biggrin: ?

From looking through the GCFs quickly, you might be able to make a .lst file in your counter-strike/reslists dir, with just the filenames of resources that must be included; for example, Half-Life 2 single player:


"hl2\maps\d1_canals_07.bsp"
"hl2\maps\graphs\d1_canals_07.ain"
"hl2\materials\concrete\concretewall074b.vmt"

Try this out and let us know. Or, simply try listing these in your .RES file, instead of using "resources" { etc. to group them.

not "recourses" but recourses (no " 's)

Why not use bspzip to embed the texture in the bsp file? That way you won't need to specify a resource list.
