I've also considered adding functionality for clients to download VPK's
from gameservers, as opposed to individual files. Then the VPK would be
mounted as a map search path. This has the added benefit that it allows
custom map assets to override shipping assets. (Something which is no
longer possible, since the tf/download folder, where the client will place
downloaded files, is the LAST search path --- this is for security
reasons.) It would also mean revving the custom assets would be simpler.
If there is interest in this functionality, let me know, I could look into
it.
I encourage all server operators to read tf/gameinfo.txt, and
tf/addons/readme.txt. The exact operation of the filesystem search paths
is explained.

I'm also interested in this and will i have to move custom maps on the
server to tf/download/ so they work or does the server accept them from
same old location as before?
Will the workshop for maps come to tf2 too? What about it vs
sv_downloadurl, compatibility wise?

Will fastdownload stay compatible? Or do we need to change file
structure there so that maps download correctly?

I'm curious if it will be possible to download a Windows version
on a Linux environment. Is that possible now with other games that
already use the SteamCMD? Will it be possible with TF2 and other
games?

Was the pure not working bug ever fixed in later engines
(L4D*)? or will
this be introduced as a regression into the orangebox and CS:S
branches? :s
Thanks,
