Hello,nI have a problem with dod_dust map on my server. I downloaded it and uploaded the files to my server, one of them is cs_dust.wad, located in server/dod/.nnThe problem is that if i copy that file to my steam directory, in myname/dod/ and I start dod_dust in my server it works perfectly, but it i dont have that file in my steam directory, when i start dod_dust in my server, it shows this error:nnWARNING: Couldn't open cs_dust.wadnAnd the game is closed automatically.nnSo if someone dont have that file in his computer, he cant play, its like if that file cant be downloaded of the server. I have tryed to donwload the file of a lot of different sites, but always is the same problem...nn¿Someone knows why this happens?

Your Steam directory structure looks wrong. XD It should look something like:nSteamAppsyourusernamehereday of defeatdodnnAlso, I wouldn't recommend posting your Steam username up there like that.

You need to create a .res file which tells the clients dod what files to download. Resgen will do this for you, it makes .res files. If you look in your dod directory files you can open a few .res file and see whats in them for different maps in notepad. nnhttp://www.gamebanana.com/tools/4777nnnIf you want to cheat a bit use the res file option on this website which has a dust conversion already.nnhttp://www.17buddies.net/17b2/View/Map/15691/dod_dust.htmlnnOr save the rest of this post (cut n paste) as cs_dust.res (your conversion is probably different so use resgen)nncs_dust.wadngfx/env/2desertup.tgangfx/env/2desertdn.tgangfx/env/2desertlf.tgangfx/env/2desertrt.tgangfx/env/2desertft.tgangfx/env/2desertbk.tgansprites/mapsprites/caparea.sprnsound/ambience/usareasecure.wavnsound/ambience/gerareasecure.wavnmodels/w_wflag.mdlnmodels/w_gflag.mdlnmodels/w_aflag.mdlnsound/ambience/germanwin.wavnsound/ambience/uswin.wavnsound/ambience/dodambience1.wavnsound/ambience/uspointcaptured.wavnsound/ambience/gerpointcaptured.wavnoverviews/cs_dust.txtnoverviews/cs_dust.bmp

Hey Garcia! Glad you got that problem taken care of. Do you still play in Dusty's Dust server?
