The file will only be recreated if you delete it and another client requests the same resource.

It wasn't until after that email that I discovered all the other "resident" ztmp files in the map directory. Are these files always re-created? they never get used again? Your comment that: "ztmp file is stored on the server so the resource won't need to be compressed again the next time a client requests it." conflicts with your comment: "they will be recreated next time a client requests the resource." qUiCkSiLvEr ----- Original Message ----- From: Eric Smith Subject: [hlds] .ztmp files This does not affect non-Steam clients/servers. When a Steam client downloads a resource from a Steam game server (like a map), the resource is first compressed to save bandwidth. An associated <resource>.ztmp file is stored on the server so the resource won't need to be compressed again the next time a client requests it. If you see these files, you can safely ignore them. You can delete them if you'd like, but they will be recreated next time a client requests the resource.
