Title: Large OA map? Post by: GN--Gigabit on November 23, 2008, 09:24:05 AM Does anyone know of any large (64 player) maps that work under OA?
Im looking to run a holidays special server, only map i know of is Kineterra1, playable but missing textures :( Title: Re: Large OA map? Post by: fufinha on November 23, 2008, 10:39:49 AM pillcity? or whatever its called.
you could check http://lvlworld.com/ .. also the replacement texture pack posted by jack thompson should correct any texture issues. Title: Re: Large OA map? Post by: GN--Gigabit on November 23, 2008, 12:21:12 PM got a link, searching for "texture pack" only brings up your post here :)
Edit : got it - http://openarena.ws/board/index.php?topic=1968.0 the pack gets identified as non-pure when its on the server, this seems to mean if the client doesnt have it its fine, they just still have the missing texture problem. Title: Re: Large OA map? Post by: fufinha on November 23, 2008, 01:44:02 PM That is better because you can turn on sv_allowdownload then the client will just need to download the small pak.
If the client does not have the map then they will have to have cl_allowdownload on to connect, they would also download the texture pak from the server too. A pk3 is considered pure when the size and name of the file matches the servers pk3's. A better idea would be to open up the map pk3 file using winrar/winzip (whatever app you use) then drag the textures folder (or the contents) to the textures folder in the map pk3. Chances are there will be a textures folder in the map pack, if not just create one. That means the client will have the map and textures pak in one download. Your map will be a fair size if it's a custom large one so the file size of the texture files won't make much difference. If you have a number of maps then best have the textures pak for the clients to download. It says on that post don't put them in baseoa but I don't think it really matters since it is just a file full of images. That wont cause a client to disconnect, the pak just wont load if sv_pure 1 Title: Re: Large OA map? Post by: fufinha on November 23, 2008, 01:52:26 PM Here is a link to pillcity...

credited you with the suggestion on my site :) Title: Re: Large OA map?

Chances are there will be a textures folder in the map pack, if not just create one. That means the client will have the map and textures pak in one download. But then *everybody* will have to download it, including those who already have the map. Does having 1 download instead of 2 downloads really make a difference?Title: Re: Large OA map? Post by: fufinha on November 23, 2008, 07:23:35 PM True. Didn't think of that.
I'm not sure of the reasons why this isnt included in the game anyway as it's better than people having missing textures. Title: Re: Large OA map? Post by: GN--Gigabit on November 24, 2008, 12:50:50 AM Yeah i kept the paks, seperate for this reason dash9.
