maby ppl can send you the missing files if you write a list of all the missing wads and stuff... half-life clients crash if they can't find the wad file, so im guessing the server will crash too... if you create a dummy wad file with the right name then the map will load but the missing textures will be replaced with white or something... most mappacks that have lots of maps have missing wads, but that's probably cuz nobody plays that map and nobody ever noticed. i have about 750 cs maps and more than 1/3 dont work... some maps also use wads from texture designers...
