Help with custom HUD textures

[Jo The Shmo]

[lua] QuadTable.texture = surface.GetTextureID("????????")
QuadTable.color = Color( 255, 255, 255, 245 )

QuadTable.x = 0
QuadTable.y = ScrH() - 200
QuadTable.w = 200
QuadTable.h = 200
draw.TexturedQuad( QuadTable )[/lua]

And I have the texture in gamemodes/Assassin/content/materials/TheArcade/9(2).vtf

Where do I put my texture so the clients will get it, and what do I call in surface.GetTextureID()?

AND do I need to do something special to get the client to download the file?

surface.GetTextureID is relative to the material directory, so put it in there.

And yes, to make a client download a file you use the [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Resource.AddFile]resource.AddFile[/url] function; for example:

resource.AddFile("Assassin/TheArcade/9(2).vtf")

But would I do resource.AddFile("content/materials/TheArcade/9(2)")
or Assassin/content...
or materials/TheArcade...
or TheArcade/9(2)...
or gamemodes/Assassin...

and then would I do surface.GetTextureID("Assassin/content/materials/TheArcade/9(2)"
or gamemodes/Assassin...
or content/materials...
or materials/TheArcade...
or TheArcade/9(2)

[Entoros]

Since it's in the gamemode content, I believe it would be like this:

resource.AddFile("materials/TheArcade/9(2).vtf")
resource.AddFile("materials/TheArcade/9(2).vmt")

local tex = surface.GetTextureID("TheArcade/9(2)")

Not as sure about the second one, but see if that'll work.
