Alright so its beens a while since i have payed attention to this list because of life issues and other problems. Currently because i host my servers with NFO, they have pretty much taken care of everything regarding SteamPipe and the whole custom section. However, now that i finally have time, i want to kind of refigure out steam pipe. I currently have been browsing around and i have a few questions.
1) So SteamPipe is this new file client system and apparently all the files go in a custom folder. However how do i tell my mapcycle.txt and maplist.txt where the new custom paths to my custom maps are? 2) Isn't this system inefficient in the sense that if more than 1 server in different communities are running the same custom files. Then the client has to download 2 copies of the same files? 3) What is gameinfo.txt? I read the file, but barely comprehended any of it. 4) VPK's, what are they? Would a correct analogy be that they are sort of zip files packing all content into one? 5) If so, can i use VPK's with maps? Thanks for anyones help in advance. I really do appreciate it!
