i got a wad for my map i made a text doc that tells peple to Dl it and thay dl it but when it try to conect after thay get the wad it says unable to open stargate.wad any ideas why?
#1 Are you sure they are downloading it? Have them check their NSP folder and make sure they have it.
#2 If they have it, is it in the right place? I maybe wrong but I belive it has to be in your NSP folder. So when you compile have the .wad in YOUR NSP folder, then make sure thats its in your SERVERS NSP folder.
Download and rename it to your map name, then use notepad or another word editor to open it and edit the line "yourwad.wad" to the name as your .wad.
Save the changes and put it on your server in the MAPS folder. Now when someone connects to your server and downloads the map, they will also get the .wad file.
NOTE: Never include the .bsp in the .res file! The server knows it must DL the .bsp. If its in the .res the client must DL it twice! If your map is big, the client may not wait and never see your map!

Uhm, try posting this in the server forums, they would probably be of more help there. Back on topic, how are you saving your .res file? You did save it to the .res extension and not .res.txt right?
