Title: Gem's modified 0.8.8 pk3 Post by: Danfun64 on April 22, 2016, 04:22:20 PM For some reason Gem's server limits the download speed, so I can't get the modified pak6-patch088.pk3 used on the InstantGib CTF server. Can anybody provide it for me?

Title: Re: Gem's modified 0.8.8 pk3 Post by: Danfun64 on April 23, 2016, 04:15:48 PM It uses a mod folder "ctf". Autodownload tries to put it in "baseoa", but I think you can put it in "ctf" without issue.

GeM has her modified pak6-patch088 file in the baseoa folder for downloads. It's been like this since nearly 2 years now. I'm not even sure if some people even know its not the regular pak6-patch088 file for the game. http://jestgameservers.com/gem/baseoa/ Title: Re: Gem's modified 0.8.8 pk3 Post by: fromhell on April 23, 2016, 06:22:58 PM well that's a very wrong way to modify the game since you're breaking checksums. Anyone with that pak will not join other servers, etc
Title: Re: Gem's modified 0.8.8 pk3 Post by: Gig on April 24, 2016, 12:15:42 PM As a general rule, only maps should be added to baseoa folder. Other kinds of changes should be placed in specific mod folders. Messing with baseoa paks on a server may cause problems to players, e.g. when later playing offline. And stock pk3 files are not meant to be modified.
