Basic Map Repository

Files in compressed packages 7z format, and exe for automatic detection and unpacking into the right place in KF folders...

If U want to make our job easier and quicker mail your work to bartbear at steampowered.pl

Um...yea....exe format is never trusted when it comes to installing just maps...so I would recommend getting rid of that...

Now .7z format is ok...but I would definitely as said get rid of the .exe formats and replace them with .rar and .zip formats...

well I see U are not familiar with red.orchestra.pl repository
We are doing execs from 2007 and there was no even one complain till now...and it is the easiest way to install maps to no familiar with all that folder trees stuff peeps U R welcome to see it what we did for RedOrchestra (TWI game) here: http://www.red.orchestra.pl/plug.php?e=maps

we just will not be running KF site (we are waiting for RO2 thou, and there is enough of it already), just small contribution for another TripWire title

Link was changed.
No offense meant of course. But it might be better to just rar them as map packs. Exe's are dangerous and the files can have the proper structure with a regular zip/rar.

7z stands for http://www.7-zip.org/ - this method of compression is far more effective with UT files than standard zip or even rar, so we are using it, but can add zip format as well. And as I wrote before this execs are scripted to find the right path after running so U don't even need to know where your Steam folder is placed - it will be found by registry and no other way U can do it for just players not semi advanced PC users
Execs from mentioned folder are 100% virus/trojan free as are done by us from ro.pl, and noone else can upload them in that place, just try it, but of course U have 7z alternative so U R not forced to....

I have to say that if you are a server admin/operator and dont know how to install a custom map to your game that you are hosting for then...you need to not host...

& more than likely it is only server admin/operators that will most likely be getting the maps from websites most of the time...

well for RedOrchestra as U can see by the dl counters mostly players download maps, I don't know why it should be different with KF(?)...so If we add zip formats then everybody will be happy with that free gift from us?

I'd also suggest removing the .EXE files. They are untrustworthy (no offence) and rather pointless. Do they, for example, cater for 64-bit operating systems? I'd also suggest using .ZIP or .RAR to be honest. Additionally, the download speed is very low.

Execs are NSIS based so yes, they will run on x64; for "untrustworthiness" maybe a few people from neighbour's RO.com forum will stand in our defence hehehe... and I know that PLAYERS use them... if it is so much "eyes pain" for U I can put them separetly in sub-folder...NO ONE is making U to use them! (but U really should BEFORE spreading so much criticism - we even made installer for RO mod DarkestHour and everything ran perfectly)-Speed is limited to ~300kb/s per connection so I think is adequate to common sizes of those files...

I'll vouch for the ro.pl community.. they're actually pretty awesome so you don't have to worry about them be malicious.

If you don't want the .exe, you can just easily grab the .7z.. I believe WinRar works on .7z in addition to a dedicated .7z decompressor.

I second that. I always use the exe from there. Saying the site is outstanding is an understatement. Great bunch of people there, even promised me a beer if I am in the neighborhood (hehehe)

Already being done, the right way.

newbies this isn't a Source community, the .exe's are legit we have been using them for years.
