Easiest thing to do is to BSPZip it.

Or if you have other stuff you want to include, you have to use res list.


Assume using CS:S as the game we're working with)
1. Go to sourcesdk_content\cstrike\materialsrc
2. Make a new folder and name it to whatever
3. Copy your .vmt and .vmf files there

Adding custom models:
1. Go to sourcesdk_content\cstrike\modelsrc
2. Make a new folder and name it to whatever
3. Copy the files

Passing custom content to others:
1. Make a new .txt file in your maps folder, name it the name of your map
2. Put in the paths to your custom content like so:
Code:

"resources" { "materials/yourmap/yourtexture.vmt" "file" "materials/yourmap/yourtexture.vtf" "file" "models/yourmap/yourmodel.mdl" "file" "sound/yourmap/yoursound.wav" "file" }

3. Save and change the extension to .res

For this to work the server needs to have all the files put in the right spot.
