Re: [hlds_linux] Map structure/Building Cube maps
They remain there unless the system writes them into the bsp. Check the bsp with a gcfscape or similiar software that can read bsp content. -ics Frank kirjoitti: Ok that worked on where the data is stored, is there a way to make the data last longer or the files to remain in place so I can obtain them? -Original Message- From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of ics Sent: Saturday, January 04, 2014 3:37 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Map structure/Building Cube maps I think the cubemap data is stored in tf/materials/maps if i remember correctly.

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] [Regression] Horribly inaccurate player counts from Steam.
Unfortunately, I haven't had the resources to hack on this. It's still very much a problem with players reporting they're hitting it near daily. What seemed to temporarily halt the reports is to disconnect them with a custom message (printing slots). That doesn't fix the queuing regression in the slightest, though. Kyle.
