Making a map to run on a defined server only.

(==Troy==) #1

I was wondering if it is possible to make map to run only on a defined server (assuming you have acess to the server) and will not be able to run on any other server? Just a thought though.

Thank you. :slight_smile:

]UBC[ McNite once applied this spiffy technique to make sure none of his beta tests would leak maps onto public map websites.

The trick is rather simple: include a fake script file with your map’s pk3 file. It shouldn’t do anything, in fact, other than writing “This version was not intended for release and will not work”.
Next, install a mod on the server which allows server-side scripts. (You just place script files into a given folder, and the server will use those instead of the script file in the map’s pk3.) This script should of course be a working one, as this will allow the server to use the map.

Only an “advanced” mapper able to script could fix the script, although I wonder though who would be in the right mind to do such thing.

What is that going to help about the map running on different servers? Just wondering.

And as Kami already posted: find the details here.
