I'm trying to have a client download a .txt file from the server, but whenver I add it to the .res file for that map, it skips any .txt files in the list. I'm certain all the files are there and the names match.

Can hlds only send certain types of file extensions?

untrue, my hlds sends text files, im going to ASSUME that your res file only contains a couple files, but just incase, post your res file for the map with the txt file your having problems with in CODE tags

Yup, they're all in place, all named correctly, no typos. I tried renaming the .txt files to random names, I can't get the server to send me any .txt files from any directory under any name. I tried chaning the size and data thats in the text files. I know the .res files are working, I can have it download other stuff.

what about the cvars:
sv_allowdownload
sv_allowupload

are those both set to 1 on client and server?

Yup, it downloads other types of files just fine... such as .wad, .tga, .bsp, .res etc...

Ok nvm I can get them to download from every folder EXCEPT resource. For some reason it won't allow you to download any .txt file from the resource folder.

I was about to say that but I was confused from your previous post that you couldn't get it from any folder. It's a VERY GOOD thing that you can't touch the resource folder :).

Is there a way around it?

not exactly a way around it.. you can always have the text file elsewhere, but then the map wont download it..

thats the best thing I know of.. even though its not really what u want..
