As the community starts to create original content, will players be able to download maps directly from the server?
In other games, there seems to be 2 mindsets, officially approved maps that are sent out through updates (team fortress 2 and left 4 dead), and server side hosted maps (counter-strike).
What kind of map distribution system did SplashDamage have in mind?
I’m assuming they will take the route of Wolf:ET and ET:QT and allow direct download from servers.
I think that should be a given, if you want the community to thrive, players need a way to create their own content.
Do you think counter-strike would be where it is today if fans could not create their own content?
It would be cool if SD make it like unreal.
=> Programm a Webinterface to controll the Gameserver
=> Use a Fileserver to host the maps in .zip format so that everybody could download the maps on the fly.
=> And build a funktion - With that function the servers could download the maps in the same way!
( Like the linux way, type in the mapname and push install => Done, the map is installed on the server. ) :stroggbanana:
-> In the background he download the map, decompress the map, copy the files and insert that in the
level selection of the server.
