Hi,
when i connect to my server there is some maps i got error "Can Not Continue Without maps/map_name" and then i saw in my fast download url that there is no res file...
Is res File Important For Fast DL?
secondly when i have that error i put this command in server sv_allowdownload 1 and then file download from server...
Why there is error in fast dl?

Thanks,

[Torge]

I belive .res files aren't important. As far as I know, clients just downloading maps and the required stuff.

If your map requires models, sounds or sprites other than the map, .res file need to be downloaded, so sometimes, it is important.

without it, the server will crash if: required models, sprites or .wad files aren't downloadable.

1. it don't needs to be downloaded (but highly recommended. by adding its name in the file itself), it's needed to download required files.
2. it's always important, by forcing the engine to precache files (no need to amxx). some people make plugins for this, but it's like to give powdered milk to a baby, knowing that the mother's milk is the best.

• read this:Warning: couldnt open czde_aztec.wad.

edit: I meant that's important to download specific map files, which aren't automatically loaded by the engine.
it's recommended (imo) to download it, because a lot of people copy past some maps from their local games to their servers, making them crashing.

- thanks for correcting me, sometimes I translate my ideas wrongly .

Incorrect.

Resources files (.res) are used for external/generic resources which are not processed/precached by the engine.

- .wav, .mdl and .spr : The engine precaches automatically these resources found from the parsing of the entities list included in the map and includes them to the global list of resources the client will have to download.
- .wad : External textures file is a special case where the engine precaches the textures but since you can have several references in several wad file, admin has to tell the engine what files the client needs to download.

Therefore :

- .res file MUST contain .wad (if needs). Client/server requires such files.
- Everything else are OPTIONAL and doesn't need to be included, like .mp3, .wav, .tga, .txt, etc.
- .res file itself DOESN'T NEED to be downloaded. It's completely useless client-side.
- DO NOT include .wav/.mdl/.spr ; such files are already sent BEFORE the .res file is parsed, and could result unexpected loading problem.

If you have a map with external textures (.wad), you MUST use a .res file for that. That's all.

i dont know if anyone else have this problem but i can not download some of the maps while connecting to server
My cl_allowdownload is 1 allowupload is also 1 still can't...

[ANTICHRISTUS]

cvars starting by cl_ are for client side, maybe you configured it wrongly. check your installation here:sv_downloadurl Tutorial.

ps. I corrected error in my precedent post.

That isn't help full for me because all things already have been done correctly
my server settings
sv_allowdownload 0
sv_downloadurl "http://top-secrete/my_cstrike/"

My cs settings

And H0W your supposed to download files if sv_allowdownload is 0

Also, remove antijos, it's useless now, just update your server, and wola, it gets fixed. ....
