Server operators could have gotten rid of their FastDL servers and would know their maps would always be up to date, players would have more free hard drive space and would benefit from faster downloads, mappers could have shown their work side by side with other maps in a central place that was integrated with the Steam community.Īt the moment, subscribing to maps has no benefit to players and I suspect that the majority do not realise that subscribing downloads the map to their Steam files. When the map workshop for TF2 came out it could have been revolutionary for mappers, players and server operators but the implementation seems to be half finished. We are able to load custom materials and models that are packed in the BSP, so I do not understand why mymap_level_sounds.txt, soundscapes_mymap.txt and mymap.nav aren't picked up when the menu photo images and mymap.txt apparently are.Įverything below is non-technical, opinion stuff: I would prefer to be able to continue to use the standard naming convention for these files instead of needing to rename them to 'embed', which adds more work to the release process.
I don't know about other files like surface properties, particle manifests and so on. If it's not, I skip and move on to the next mod or asset I want.MvM pop and res files aren't found either.

download site as my main source for mods and when it says no free space I just copy the workshop items ID and paste it into the search on smods, it'll usually be on there. Smods are adding and revising mods all the time

Steamworkshop.download works for anything that was downloaded on that site prior to steams crackdown I have revised loading screen mod, network anarchy, ploppable Rico, customize it, find it 2, the recently released fixed version of more landscaping tools and the paint brush tool, traffic manager and quite a few others When I initially wrote the comment you replied to, I had issues myself, some of the mods mentioned are outdated but I still managed to get their more updated altarnatives Yes, I'm on epic games and having downloaded these thru a mix of smods and steamworkshop.download I have my game running smoothly with the latest updated version of tmpe etc Prop anarchy is outdated so I use network anarchy and alternatives from the new comparability list all of which I downloaded from either sites mentioned.
