Fast Map Downloads

Thanks to a good bit of effort by Grounded, we've gotten the "sv_downloadurl" cvar set up. For those of you who don't know what that is; it's a (relatively) new feature in Steam that allows players to download maps from a web server instead of the old fashioned "trickle" download from the game server that you are used to seeing in-game. This means that custom maps being played on CSR will now download as fast as your connection will allow. For you broadbanders, that should be pretty darn fast. There's nothing you need to configure to make this work either-- it's all built in to the game.

Quote from: Grounded on July 18, 2004, 11:08:05 AM


upc and b4 are currently the only customs on the server but any of the ones that were recently cut can be reinstated (if you want to) since they're all already set up on the web server.

If you want to try this for yourself and already have upc and b4 just delete the upc bsp (it's only like 1 meg) and then join next time you see it on. Mine clocked in at 45 secs

The banner is a bit ropey I know but I just made it to actually see if it would work.

Moral of the story: Don't be afraid of custom maps now!

Props go to Grounded for getting all the legwork done and being very persistent in nagging me to get my end done.

this works great I used it to download B4 and with my cable connection it only took 35 seconds!

Good work Grounded and Porter!

Yay G!

Here's an idea:

Put something in the server name that suggests we have fast downloads, so if we are on a custom map, it increases the chance that we get some public traffic.

ie. CSReloaded: Phoenix || Fast D/L!

Good idea T-Rex

I think the general consensus is that we should add one or two new ones - bikini and batcave are both good ideas since they're pretty popular (relatively speaking of course )

That is awesome. Everybody should be requesting to play these maps. The one's I've played are jammin' and the others I'm sure are just as good.

I'm soo turbo pissed about the lack of batcave. That is such an amazing map.

I'd rather have a map that crashes the server then that arena...thing. *grumble grumble*.  Like, I know there's not supposed to be a point to the map, but what's the point?

Heh, its nothing special...but it is growing on me. I believe it's modeled after rainbow 6 (hence r6). There is another version of the map with full health. Would that be better?

Calm yourselves, it's not that bad. But since you're whining like little children I'll try and find a different speedball map to replace it.

It would be 99% better if you didn't get randomly raped of your health at the beginning of each round...if we could find the version Surgeon talks about, that would be rad.

http://www.pitrd.com/pit/website/ Has all of the guys maps. r7 is on the same page as r6. This guy has a lot of cool looking maps, though I'm sure grounded already knows about it.

direct from R6's map description

Description:
This map is set in a deformed aircraft hangar, in an alternate dimension where bullets can actually kill someone with one shot.
No HE grenades allowed in this map, throw one anyway you will be slaughtered immediately by the artificial intelligent mapfile itself.
You spawn with 25 Health and theres a little pit in the middle where shooting targets gives you back 2 health per hit.

This is why I like the map it gives guys like me a chance to take out the stud players with one shot.

except that information is wrong, as ive started off with as low as 15 health and as high as 50. thats a couple shots difference.

1. I'm pretty sure the reason it's set up the way it is is because if you use game_player_hurt or trigger_hurt ents to trigger damage then if the map was full, all players would trigger the damage simultaneously on round start and the server would crash. I think he found a neat, if compromised, solution.

2. A lot of his maps are cool in the sense that they're both original and complicated, but some of them tread in tasteless territory...

3. "nope, primer was having the same issues"
Must be the akr tag then
