Correct. This entire episode has been a nightmare for the users. (Servers LOST players the moment the Day/Nite maps came up)
The customized RS DAY/NITE maps must be cooked and provided in the conventional format. As it is now, the users are not be bothered to jump thru all the flaming hoops to play these maps.
SWS is not behaving and the Server ReDirect does its job but the flurry of files is a bit much.
Users want to boot up the game and play - not be software engineers.
Regrettably, we've temporarily removed the maps from our rotation.
while im sorry to hear that you are no longer hosting the maps, but to be honest there is nothing i can do since this is how twi created them this way and im not going to spend weeks or even months redoing them and then having to redo the work again and again each time twi creates a new release.
for them most part i honestly have no problem using steam workshop to subscribe to maps. the most problems come with publishing to it. in fact a good many people have downloading them and ive not really had any complains.
the download redirect is what it is and there is nothing i can do about it.
perhaps when the maps are all done ill put them in a map pack and include them with a installer which will make it easy for people to install, but no promises.
i may also look at setting up my own dedicated server, but i cant promise that either
perhaps i can convince twi to bundle them as a free dlc they put on steam. it would not be all that big if its integrated with their game, sadly i cant do that because we do different builds and because it would require minor tweaks where they would have to move some of the stuff into the map so that i would not be loaded from common file. like the sky since i cant have a day sky being loaded in nighttime map. very minor stuff. but if its done they can add it to the maps and have them share the existing art, sound, fx, ect.
