-- -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] OK then. I did some more checking and ran ResGen on cs_office to verify what you are saying. You are correct on this one. On the stock maps the overview info is not included. Frankly this isn't a big problem for us since we have a 1.6 server and the stock maps it would seem would almost always be on the client s machine. This wasn't always the case with 1.5. It has included the info on all of the "Non-Stock" maps I have installed on the server that have overviews which is good.
So we agree, ResGen may not include all of the needed info on occasions due to the information included in the .bsp file. Therefore it is wise to check your .res files to verify that they contain all needed info for the map in question. I think we can also agree that ResGen is a good tool for creating thorough res files with some exceptions. A little discretion from a servers admins and operators can mange these exceptions. I always test any new maps before and after adding them to my server. This includes downloading to client machines. I also hope that you would agree that sv_downloadurl is a phenomenal asset for servers wanting to run custom content and also keep players on there server providing that good .res files are included on the server. This coupled with a good map vote system keeps our server hopping most of the time. Thanks, m0gely Rob...

I am using version 2.0 I used 1.x and use 2.0 now. If resgen is getting the overview info then it's called out in the .bsp file. Thats the only way it could possibly know about it. Most (all the maps I run) don't have this info called out. For kicks I just ran resgen on cs_office_cz which is a stock CZ map. There was no overview files called out. Do a ripent on your map. I bet the overviews are called out in there. So to rephrase, resgen will *probably not* have the overview in there unless the map was made to include that the overview exists. -- - m0gely http://quake2.telestream.com/ Q2 | Q3A | Counter-strike _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds -- [ IMSTP.gif of type image/gif deleted ] -- _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
