Missing a file thats in the directory it showed me.

Ok I'm extremely confused. See I just now decided to get rid of All the unused stuff in my game folder, which was copied from the the example folder. SO I put everything that I didnt think would be needed in the trash. Fine, except When I ran my game to test if it would still work it didnt, and gave me "Do not have the correct version of the FPS starter kit or related art to play on this server. Missing FPS/data/shapes/particles/smoke". Ok SO I Checked the directory advised. And the smoke.png is there. nevertheless I dragged the FPS starter Kit back to the folder ALong with the command files amnd ran it again. Same result.
I dont understand now. Why is it it telling me I dont have somthing in a directory that I do have?
How do I fix this?

The other bolder line that comes up when I hit "~" is Validation required /data/Shapes/player/player.dts
SO i figured this would be whats holding me up.
How do I go about "validating" player.dts ?
never mind I fixed one problem. Turns out that it was looking in the wrong folder, instead of my game folder it as looking in FPS starter kit.
Now I have to find a way to make it look in my folder for everything... Not sure why because it loads from My folder. It just gets the other things from Starter FPS kit ...

Hmm its interesting, I cant get on my server but the bots are apparantly running around killing each other. The other bolder line that comes up when I hit "~" is Validation required /data/Shapes/player/player.dts

"Validation required" is just a notice from engine (telling you that server and client required to check CRC for that DTS, so client and server instances are matched), ignore it. You can even hack into source code in engine and remove this "spam line".
