(Or even the Linux console, of course.) The larger the file, the longer it will take; CPU speed is the most important factor in compression and decompression. If, for any reason at all, you may want to un-bzip2 the file, use the command "bunzip2 <mapname>.bsp.bz2", e.g. "bunzip2 de_inferno.bsp.bz2". The difference between gzip and bzip2 is that gzip is more common but compresses less (which gives it a speed bonus). Hoping this mail helped, ~~ Ondra Hosek P.S. For more information, simply issue the command "man bzip2". The manual pages are a useful tool for Unix people. You should be able to exit the manual viewer by pressing Q. #Rtb.uk | MarkyPark wrote: > That was the word I was looking for :) so how do you do it ? > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of LDuke > Sent: 22 December 2005 22:11 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Gziping maps > > -- > [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] > Isn't it bzip2 that's used, not gzip? > > > > On 12/22/05, Rüdiger Meier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> On Thursday 22 December 2005 17:46, #Rtb.uk | MarkyPark wrote: >> >>> I am still learning the ways of linux, I just want to know how to >>> Gzip maps? so its better for people to download them.
