-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I don't know why costum maps shouldn't work with sv_pure 2 ?
As far as I understood and tested the client just gets forced to use the content from the gcf. As long as there is no content in the gcf files, the files from the cstrike folder will be used! If this doesn't work this way, please implement it. It would be the easiest way to use costum maps and materials, as long as they don't override default content ;) 2007/5/16, Whisper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > -- > [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] > It would seem that season & lost_temple_pro would satisfy the bsp only > requirement > > Others though I am not so sure > > I know contra does not, which is no great loss since its a horrid excuse > for > a map anyhow. :) > > On 5/17/07, Chris Barnett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > It's not possible to download anything and overwrite any existing files > on > > the client - be they Steam or custom files - least not with any known > > plugin > > or standard command, otherwise there would be anarchy. > > > > Right now, it is possible to have different BSPs on the server and > client, > > and I believe it depends on what the actual differences are.
