depending on the compiler you are using, it is easy to add your textures to the .BSP itself some compilers have this integreated others you need to add a command line -wadinclude.

if your not going to include your textures in the map itself, at lease add a .res file so that ppl can dl the needed files to run your maps of the server, not everyone will dl the map off a website...yes some ppl still love to wait long minutes on the server for it to dl.

this is an example of a .res files structure.

blabla.wad (dowloads the wad off the server)
sound/blabla.wav (downloads that sound for precach)
gfx/env/whateverdn.tga (will add the skymap... need all 6)
ect...

if you need more info or want a detailed text just reply.

ps. now that fast download is an available server cvar more ppl will download of servers, keep that in mind.
