Yes, you need a .res file to get the client to download custom models. The res file is always the map name with an extension of .RES. Note that .res files are only associated with the map, and specify the files (including custom models) that download when the client either joins the server running the map, or when the client is already in the server and the server changes to the map. There is one of my .res files, notice the last two lines - they cause the client to download two custom models, greyrat, and bubbles. So, when the server runs this map, all of these file download except the ones that are already on the server. Stock half-life stuff is already there, so in the followin example, the tga files don't download, and drips.wav does not download because they are part of stock valve files.

Hello all, I have a fairly simple question I'm sure someone here knows the answer but I have been unable to find it online. I know that .res files need to be created for custom maps when using the sv_download or web redirect but do I need to create some kind of .res file to make the connected gamer download custom models as well ? If so what would the .res file name be for the custom models ? I know say if I have a custom map I would make a .res file named de_superdust.res but what for a custom model file called superduper.mdl ? superduper.res ? (those aren't real file names of course in example) I need to know about custom model files and .res file names or if .res are even needed for custom model files. Please let me know and thanks much for your help, LB ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for earth-friendly autos?
