Re: [hlds] Question for Map Makers
I think if there was a web based interface for booking time and uploading maps etc it would be a great idea. If its not all automated though it will be a nightmare to run.

Re: [hlds] Question for Map Makers
Sounds like a great idea to me! See if you can get some attention over on fpsbanana. Also agree with Arg! it would be great from a mappers perspective to be automated and easy as well.

Re: [hlds] Question for Map Makers
Yeah, I checked at FPS Banana but their posting rules specifically prohibit any type of post like that in at least 4 different ways. lol But yeah, unless there was someone willing to help setup the backend, it would all have to be run manually unfortunately. :( -Matt On Tue, Jun 16, 2009 at 1:51 AM, Philip Bembridge philipbembri...@gmail.com wrote: Sounds like a great idea to me!

Re: [hlds] Question for Map Makers
You could make a webpage which writes requests and bookings to a timeslot, then create a cron job to run at a specified time interval, which reads info from the database and writes a maplist and additional cfg (tags/hostname change, etc). Then get it to RCON to the server and restart it. You could do it quite simply in PHP (, probably simpler in Python, I dunno, I've never used Python). -Original Message- From: hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of CLAN RCR Sent: Tuesday, 16 June 2009 5:43 PM To: philipbembri...@gmail.com; Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] Question for Map Makers Yeah, I checked at FPS Banana but their posting rules specifically prohibit any type of post like that in at least 4 different ways. lol But yeah, unless there was someone willing to help setup the backend, it would all have to be run manually unfortunately. :( -Matt On Tue, Jun 16, 2009 at 1:51 AM, Philip Bembridge philipbembri...@gmail.com wrote: Sounds like a great idea to me!

Re: [hlds] Question for Map Makers
American or European? Etf2l.org have been doing work with map makers in competitions in both playing, and development of said maps as well as pugs and such to help developers. Might be worth posting there. -Matt (yes, its just a coincidence I'm not taking the piss :P) -Original Message- From: hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of CLAN RCR Sent: 16 June 2009 06:13 To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: [hlds] Question for Map Makers So, I'm going to avoid turning this into an advertising message and dispense with the details..

Re: [hlds] SDK update and server downloads
I believe if you make a change to a server and keep the name the same, the clients with the non-updated version will get an error and will not allow them to enter the server.

Re: [hlds] SDK update and server downloads
It would just be best to add a tag to the end of the map name. say, CTF_2Fort_MyMap.
