All Day/Nite - Night/Day maps have been removed from our ReDirect until such time as they D/L properly. All the maps CHOKE on the PBV file....
Users are instructed to visit our
RS/RO2 Map Forum to D/L the maps and obtain the Manual Map setup instructions.
thanks! sorry you are having problems
here i did testing with a server i setup and the maps run fine so long as you either download them using steam workshop and that download is sucessful and is not corrupt or if you manually download and install them.
if you try to use redirect it also works, but there is a catch, the redirect download will most likely fail before all the files download because the files are so large that eventually and most likely while downloading the art file which is the biggest the connection to the server will be lost when the server changes map and then you end up with case where u dont get the all files so you cant play anyways. also a lot depends on the speed and reliability for your redirect download server. any issues with it and it again fails.
so its because the files are soo large and combining them is not going to solve that since all u do is have a giant file. 200-300mb or more to download which again will just timeout anyways.
so the best thing is to go to steam client subscribe to the map
let the steam client download the rs/ro2 custom content
then start the game and let rs/ro2 copy into the right place the stuff
dont let the rs/ro2 download do the work it most likely timeout or download corrupt copy...
so there is nothing i can do, i tested the maps with my a dedicated server and they run great. its just you have to get the files... i dont control any of that. and i didnt write steam workshop download nor the games redirect download mechanism so any issues with them i cant fix.
still the maps run great. loads of fun even when playing with bots
so dont use the redirect download way cause it most likely end with connection timeout or connection lost errors or even corrupt downloads.
well unless u have very fast and reliable redirect download server. dropbox is not by the way its too slow and very unreliable so you end up with lots of corrupt files... or very low couple hours to download the files! and the server plays the map for just 30 minutes. so you can see how that will end. in connection lost when map rotates and impartial download! so u cant play!
also note that if a file does not download properly it can cause the game to hang or crash, ect.. so u have to ensure people get good files. sorry nothing i can do there its like running a corrupt executable it will crash...
that is why using the client zip files is the best choice since u know that when you manually download and install you get a good copy that is not corrupt it it was it would not extract!
the steam workshop and be unreliable to this extend. it depends on how busy their servers are and your internet connection, many people have sucky routers like my fios router which is known to cause nothing but issues with large downloads!
