This is driving me nuts. cvar is set right, the client downloads the .bsp file. the corresponding .res file has the .wad file in it but according to the webserver logs the client doesn't even try to download the .res file (or the .wad file). The client also doesn't revert to ingame downlaoding, it simply crashes back to to the desktop with a standard windows errormessage box stating it couldn't find the .wad file.

Our server is running on linux and has apache on the same box. I created a directory in our web that will host the files. In that directory I created symbolic links to the actual game servers "maps", "gfx", "models", "sound", "overviews", "sprites" directories. I also have a cronjob run that will link all WAD files too.
As for the .res files. You should get RESGEN from unitedadmins.com. Run with the -e option so that you don't create BAD .res files. I have this setup in a cronjob too so that all I do is add maps to the server and that's it.
If anyone needs specific details just email me.

Wads seem to be easy as in the bsp usually tells what wads are needed. Unless your using res files to reference wads, I can't seem to get anything to do with res files to work.
I have not looked through the archives to see if this was brought up in the past though

I am having problems with wad files. When the server switches to a map that uses a wad file and the client does not have the wad it drops and disconnects the client. I have the wad files in the root of the downloadurl. Is anyone else having this problem?
