This is a map build too enhancement, so it's semi on/semi off topic, but none the less I thought it might be appropriate to post about it here.
Here's a description of the tool (from it's homepage at http://countermap.counter-strike.net/Mapster/... It is a wrapper for netvis to allow coordination of peer to peer netvis jobs via a central registry for active netvis servers. It allows for machines to function as either netvis servers which would like external machines to join them for running netvis, or as netvis helpers, which are available to act as netvis clients for active and registered netvis servers. By utilizing a central Mapster Registry, Mapster eliminates the need for the "human network" required to utilize netvis. Mappers no longer need to solicit netvis clients when running a netvis server. Note that Mapster is not a replacment for netvis, but rather a wrapper or frontend for it, to coordinate the registration and discovery of active netvis jobs. Anyway, you might all find this interesting, and hopefully some of you that do map builds (or have spare CPU) will actually try it out. It's a bit rought right now, but has a huge potential IMHO. If you've ever run netvis, you will probably see just how useful this can be right off the bat. Tim "Waldo" Holt -- I think...I think it's in my basement. Let me go upstairs and check. -M.C.
