Show us that map pack that has been prepared for a long time.

Just posted about it here

I didn't post the part with the maps before because working on the models took a while and I wanted to post them together.

My survivors look different already without having to download 10 gigs.


Yes, but the mods you have installed are client side only, and only you see the custom skins. And the client side mod only allows you to have one mod per survivor. The difference with the server pack is that everyone can be a completely different character and everyone can see all those characters in the game at the same time. The pack doesn't affect your normal skins or client side mods you have installed. I should have mentioned that before.

I don't know, I have a feeling people will spend a lot of time playing around with the new models and will forget to actually play the game. I mean there's no harm in several different models for each character, but you abused that freedom man lol I'll download what I have to download to continue playing in the server, I just don't wanna spend precious space in pixels I'm not even planning to use.

Maybe some people will get carried away, but last time Aixa, Charlie, Luna, Alyce, and myself played with them we didn't go crazy changing models all the time. We all picked one and stuck with it. I really had no idea the complete model pack would have taken up so much space. Some models are very small, and some textures take up a lot of space. I REALLY wish I could make it smaller without deleting any characters. If only the game could read the file in a zipped format, but I don't think it can. I wasn't even going to make a lite model pack, but it wouldn't be fair to have everyone just download 10GB like that. That's why I asked about the size before posting it. Just get the lite model pack, it's 90% smaller, and I think that's much fair to everyone.

I'm thinking though, maybe I should only use the lite model pack on both servers, and only use the complete pack on the back up server when people want to play with other characters. I mention this because some people are alright with the large model pack and some are not such as your self.

What do yo guys think?

If you can do that, it'd be great. I play a lot of games, they require a lot of my hard drive, and sacrificing 10gb when I could download 2 or 3 games instead, just for left 4 dead, is not something I wanna do. I just don't wanna see huge Error messages where an other survivor should be, just because that person has the model pack and I don't.

That's fair enough. And you raise a topic which I've been wanting to ask for a while. I will switch the lite model pack to server #1 and put the complete one on server #2. So for server 1 you have a 5GB map pack and a 1GB model pack. And for server 2 whoever wants the complete package can try it there.

Someone on Steam just pointed out to me that in order to download the server pack, you need to make a 4shared account if you don't have one already. I didn't know this because I'm always logged into my 4shared account. Will have to move the links somewhere else. Do you need an account with skydrive to download stuff there?

There's no way you can torrent it huh? I've tried downloading both links and they won't even start. Over 1gb files that are apparently not torrents, either take forever to download from my pc, or they don't download at all. But I'll keep trying..

Never tried hosting a torrent before. But from what I read just now, I'd have to seed it from my PC. My upload speed is not that great for me to seed such a large torrent. I tried looking for a site where I can upload the file to and host the torrent from there, but didn't find any good info for that


But what does it say for you on4shared as to why you can't download it?

La única forma de saber lo del skydrive es que nos mandes el link de cualquier archivo para hacer la prueba D:

a mi descargar por torrent se me hace muy lento

Otras opciones que podrías ver:

Mediafire? xD siempre he preferido subir cosas ahí porque se descargan muy rápido, lo "malo" es que solo deja subir archivos de 200mb max (con cuenta gratis) tienes 50 gb de almacenamiento.

En MEGA (el nuevo megaupload) también descargo igual de rápido y CREO que no tiene límites para subir un archivo, también te dan 50gb gratis como MF.

He visto quejas de que Mega no descarga ni sube archivos, o que se pone lento aveces, pero yo he subido y descargado sin problemas (y eso que lo uso con firefox cuando me dicen que lo use con chrome xD) acaba de salir en enero supongo que ya arreglaron eso ._.

Nah it doesn't say anything. It happens with every file, since forever, it's not just this pack now. Like I said, I'll keep trying : P

I just checked and Skydrive seems to have a limit of 300MB per file

Media fire has a limit of 200MB per file. Even if you upgrade to to a personal paid account, the limit is still 1GB per file. I need it to be at least 2GB per file.

I had no idea that Megaupload had reopened
I just tried it and it works for file that are 2GB:D. Thanks Steph

I try to have 3 mirrors for the downloads. This way people can try one that works for them

Acabo de comprobar y Skydrive parece tener un límite de 300MB por archivo

Mediafire tiene un límite de 200MB por archivo. Incluso si se actualiza a una cuenta personal pagada, el límite es todavía 1GB por archivo. Lo necesito para tener por lo menos 2GB por archivo.

No tenía ni idea de que había vuelto a abrir Megaupload
Lo probé ahora y funciona para archivos que son de 2GB . Gracias Steph

Tratare de tener 3 "mirrors" para las descargas. De esta manera todos pueden probar cual le funciona para ellos

De nada
Skydrive te deja subir hasta 2gb máximo, pero con su programa :B
(intenta subir un archivo de mas de 300mb en la web y probablemente te saldrá esta ventana)



Pero solo te dan 7gb de almacenamiento

Una opción de descarga podría ser por partes (tal vez en mediafire aprovechando la velocidad), hay personas que tienen conexiones lentas y para ellos descargar más de 1gb es mucho problema xd
Tardan mucho para descargar y si les ocurre un error en la descarga ni se diga:



Te lo digo porque hubo un tiempo en que mi conexión era lenta, (descargaba como a 100-150 kb/seg te lo juro O_o) y tardaba las horas descargando juegos y muchas veces no podía pausar la descarga xD

Así que el JDownloader se volvió un gran amigo mio... xB
