I've seen it happen with map overviews. Like the .bsp and .txt they don't need to be in the .res file to make the client download them. You can check the webserver log for 404's to see which files the client tries to download, but are not there. If you use a *nix webserver it's also possible that upper/lowercase is a problem, again check the logs to be sure. > > A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text. > > Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? > > A: People that complain about html and top posting? <gd&r> > > > A: Top-posting. > > Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail? > > > It's a pissing contest that no one will ever win.

I've long given up trying to actually convince people. :-) But perhaps someone will read it and suddenly "see the light". ;-) Maarten -- A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.
