Moinsen Leute,

habe die Tage gehört, dass es ein neues Fast DL verfahren bei DoD:S geben soll. Da werden die Maps komprimiert vom Server geladen.
Kann das einer Bestätigen, bzw weiß was man machen soll?

Ok habe nun was gefunden und zwar bei steam im forum

I just tried the new Steam build-in HTTP decompression feature and it works nicely.

However as far as I could see it only works with the actual map files (".BSP") and not with other files like the bot navigation files (".NAV").

To compress your BSP files under linux just type:
"bzip2 -z -9 cs_xcom.bsp" (or any other map)

That way bzip2 compresses your file, adds the extension ".bz2" automatically and also deletes the original uncompressed map which is no longer needed.

When someone now connects to your server and he doesn't have the custom map, Steam automatically downloads the bz2 file and decompresses it afterwards.

Thx valve for this as it reduces the download time of extreme large maps considerably, e.g.: "cs_xcom" is reduced from 40mb to 18mb.
