Alfred, many thanks to you and the team for implementing the .bz2 support, and for then straightening the .bz2 bug out quickly. I tested it here last night after the update and it seemed to be working real good, both with 'all files compressed' and with 'many but not all files compressed' (worst case condition). Tested with de_westwood_s which has the .bsp, 56 texture files, 1 wav file and 1 txt file. For worst case i left 16 random (unordered) textures uncompressed so the download alternated between .bz2 and non-.bz2 files quite a few times.
Downloading several times with all files compressed worked perfect. 2 of 4 times downloading 'worst case' setup, a single texture (out of 56) failed to download, but it was a different one each time so i'm thinking it was maybe the html server itself. Reconnecting got the last texture each time. Very glad to see the fix stayed too after the update rollback!! After testing went good, i uploaded .bz2's of everything for all our multi-file maps, and deleted the originals, spent the whole night on it til the wee-hours. Only after that did i realize the server probs goin on, heard about the rollback etc. Still got a little more to go, mainly folders of textures, but we got our space usage down from about 900MB to 410MB. Our limit is 1GB, so was perfect timing for us that this feature was included :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alfred Reynolds" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]>; <[email protected]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, May 20, 2005 3:38 AM Subject: [hlds] RE: [hlds_linux] Counter-Strike: Source update > We have released an update that rolls back the Counter-Strike: Source > changes made in this last update (apart from the de_inferno changes). > You need to run hldsupdatetool to get this update. > > - Alfred > > ----Original Message---- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alfred > Reynolds Sent: Thursday, May 19, 2005 5:33 PM To: > [email protected]; [email protected]; > [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [hlds_linux] > Counter-Strike: Source update > > > We have released an update to Counter-Strike: Source and the Source > > engine.
