Well, the easiest method is to give the texture files you made for your map, and used when compiling in Hammer, and give them to the people with a file structure, which explains where to put the file so everything will work.
Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

The hard part is, to tell the people where to put the files of the textures :wink:

(atleast for me :razz: )

you need to give people the vmt AND the vmf, and they need to have them in the same place that you have them.

is there no way that the game puts the custom textures into your
materlais file i thought it did this when they were being downloaded
from the server eg downloading resources
yourmap/materials/randomtexture.vmt

I'm assuming you have the map on a server and people are only able to
download the BSP and none of the resources (ie custom textures,
models). If this is the case then what you have to do is make a .res
file pointing to the resources, as explained
here.

Just open up notepad and make a file like this:

<div class="code">Code:<pre>"Resources"
{
"materials/customdirectory/texture01.vtf" "file"
"materials/customdirectory/texture01.vmt" "file"
}
[/pre]

And save it as mapname.res in the cstrike/maps folder, where mapname is
the same as the bsp's name. You don't need to include the bsp, txt, nav
or ain files, those are downloaded automatically.

Edited to fix 'code' block

Using winbsp nowadays tends not to work because the compile tools
generate v20 maps instead of v19, and winbsp still expects v19. So, I
used Pakrat to do the job. It even can scan the map for custom
resources that need to be included (though personally I pick it by
hand).

To test if it worked, you could move the custom content to another
folder and play the map. Saves you some hassle sending it to others.
