Why some maps have files with them like as_resident_evil.bsp , as_resident_evil.nav , as_resident_evil.res ???

.nav is for the AI, it tells them how to move around the map. The .res is a resource file and points to certain things used by the map, I think... someone will likely correct me. The .nav file is automatically generated by the way.

Eh, probably a file left over from compressing the map. Probably.

"The ZTMP file type is primarily associated with 'Steam' by Valve Corporation. When a Steam client downloads a resource from a Steam game server (like a .BSP map), the resource is first compressed to save bandwidth. An associated .ZTMP file is stored on the server so the resource won't need to be compressed again the next time a client requests it. If you change the resource you need to delete the associated .ZTMP file so that the next person who downloads is doesn't get the old copy instead of the changed resource file (Steam does not detect changed game resource files and recreate the .ZTMP file automatically.)"
Says a file extension website.
