Title: A server for GPL OpenArena Maps
Post by: wts on January 21, 2007, 10:20:58 PM
I noticed in another thread that you can set up a game server to download the maps from a website instead of from the game server.  Does this have redundant abilities where if the webserver is not responding that it can fall back onto the game server for the files?  Also, I have about a gig of space on my webhost that I would be willing to host any GPLed maps on for this purpose.  It would be nice to have one set up as a default so it would be a lot quicker to load maps that you do not already have.  Also what about new revisions of the files, does it check to see if there is a new version of the map or does it assume that it is the latest version if the file is present?
