Run a resource generator on the map and manually check for the required entities. Be sure they're in the proper folder too.

Those are stock entity names. But they may be custom entities placed in a special folder. Do an entity dump (I use ripent) to check the actual location.

Vet after I found all those entities and placed them in the proper folders I still get the same message as the start of this post , do I have to compile them all together or how do I get them to recognize the map ?? so confusing

Crazy you need to ripent that map and find out which file link in the bsp is causing that error.

What map are you trying to load? There is one situation where the .res & .ent files won't help. That's when the map uses custom HUD capture icons. Those sprite icons need to be loaded also. To tell if you need them, check the 'dod_control_point' entities of the map. If the 'point_hud_icon_(team)' key have a value of 18 to 26, you need to load HUD icons too. They're stored in the 'spritesobj_icons(mapname)' folder.
