Server compressing maps without being able to execute batch files on the server?

you can copy ucc.exe to your client kf installation and run it locally if need be, and there are a couple of standalone batch/tools you can use here and here with gui.

or my variation on the above batch (thanks dimitri) that I simplified to my own needs, I prefer it just for ease of use. just like the first batch above you create a directory for it in your kf folder and just drop the files in, they get processed all at once and then you can move/upload them together. this one works better for me since I run it off a local share, just change or create the directory structure of the set command to match your own.

for patches the server needs to be updated seperately through the included instkf batch / hlds update tool.

You have to compress the maps on the server?

I just wrote a .bat with:


Or something to that effect and run it in my home directory.

Would my method explain why some maps positively refuse to download no matter how many times I compress and re-compress them?

Ghosty UTcompress thingmyjig gui is the way to go. Well it was for a me.

Hello,

is there an external/3rd party uz2 compressor you would recommend? I do not have the ability to execute a batch file on the server as it is a hosted server. (i.e. I need something I can execute here, on my machine, providing the compressed maps which I can then ftp over to the server).

thanks,

edit: oh and is the update applied a few minutes ago server-side as well? ^^

google for the uz2 files... you will find websites where you can download them. That's how I did it. All maps that I needed were named properly and there were no version differences.
Then just download the maps from the web, upload them on your ftp and you're good. I wouldn't reccomend stealing traffic... Some people do not have unlimited traffic...
