Belladonna Posted June 5, 2005 Posted June 5, 2005 We're working on the downloads section of the webpage now. What I'd like to know is what YOU want to see on them? The standard updates will be there, of course, as well as the major map packs. Quote
daybreak Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 From what I understand, the major map packs you're referring to are custom, and are rather large. I would appreciate a torrent or an ED2K link. Quote
Moody Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 They are not that large..Takes you about a minute to download if you have a descent connection. Quote
Genesis Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 Ahem......... no. MAPS take about a minute to download. PACKS take from 10 to 30 mins. with DSL. Anyway I think that creating a torrent file would be quite easy, no? Quote
Jacques Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 Torrent file ? Jac's Daddy has a router with firewall Quote
Belladonna Posted June 6, 2005 Author Posted June 6, 2005 Torrent files? Never mind the fact that this lady has no idea how to do any of that or what it entails. I'll talk to eliteone, but no promises on anything like that. I mostly wanted to know what content you wanted. Maps, for example... there are a gazillion custom maps out there for NOLF1. Instead of posting every single one of them, I'm thinking it might be a better use of space to only put up the maps people submit or request. Quote
Nova™ Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 Can someone create a Mappack for all of the Recent Maps? Then people wouldn't have to download Each one. Okay, on the download thing, we need: *Newly released Maps (The one are aren't in the mappacks) *Mappacks ~SFI Mappack ~The site that shall not be named Mappack ~Is there a ST mappack? ~JAG Mappack *Demos? ~Trailer? *Updates (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish) ~Map pack 1 ~Map Pack 2 ~Tool kit? ~Fansite Kit? *Mods (These are the ones I have) ~ContractJackGuns ~Demolition ~DxFix ~Eagle ~GoldenEagle ~Mods15 ~NoReloads ~SilencedGuns Quote
ƒƒ5•ßahamutZero Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 yeah, there was mod1 through 15 at this point...don't worry about the other ones, 15 is pretty much all of them put together plus some more. modX will be the finished version. and the mappack, JAG, is proly the most complete pack out there Quote
daybreak Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 I keep hearing about custom mappacks created by users that SFI uses occasionally for the custom server. I'm probably really out of date on this People have mentioned to me that there are mappacks over 1gb in size, which is why I haven't downloaded them yet. If there are files that large, the idea behind a torrent file is that 'we' the user will be responsible for the bandwidth as opposed to an SFI server. Bittorrent is rather ubiquitous at the moment and I'd be surprised if no on in SFI were familiar with it. If the server were used as a tracker for all but the smallest files, bittorrent could be very useful for just about everything the downloads section offers Quote
