Is it me, or when i have all my maps in a nice custom/gungame/maps folder, it still "generates" those nav files in the root map folder. Would be nicer if it generated the files in the custom too, now its still "cluttered"

But that autogenerated version never works flawlessly. It often fails miserably since the autocreation really needs help. Bots need the nav in order to work and in CSS the place names on the radar are read in the nav file also. I don't really get the commotion since nav files are generally only few megs big. If you really don't want those to host, just don't put them into the fastdownloadurl but keep it on the server. -ics Nomaan Ahmad kirjoitti: > When they launch listen server, the missing nav file will be auto generated. > > On 29 April 2013 02:28, Essay Tew Phaun <[email protected]> wrote: > >> They weren't guaranteed to have the navs in the first place, for >> unsupported maps.
