45 seconds and 2 clicks to install a custom map of 15Mb on the server!!

After the arrival of 17SMI, the worries of installing maps on a local machine were set for the common people.

Our FTP installation system does the same thing, but directly to a game server, via FTP.

Conceived and designed by 17's Buddies, this feature unique in the world has sometimes been imitated but never equaled !

This function (compatible with maps HL1, HL2 and all its mods) is accessible with one click from our downloads. Just to indicate the settings of your FTP server game and our script will extract the files in the map, directly on your game server using the FTP settings you have indicated.

The results are INCREDIBLE : The measurements showed a gain of speed until 50 times compared with a normal installation! For a map of 15Mb zipped, installation takes 45 seconds while with a traditional, must be close to 32 minutes!!

You can keep three servers favorites, selected from the top window from the dropdown menu. These three servers are by default, your game server, your web server using the variable sv_downloadurl (with or without bzip2) and a possible test server.

Note that even if your FTP login and pass you are requested to use this function, they are not stored in our databases to ensure the security of your data.

Sledge development has been abandoned. JACK is still getting updates but it has become paid recently.

HL Anniversary update maps were made using both TrenchBroom and JACK.

Tools used to make each new deathmatch map from the update:
contamination.bsp - J.A.C.K. 1.1.1064, VHLT v33
disposal.bsp - Trenchbroom, VHLT v34
pool_party.bsp - J.A.C.K. 1.1.2800, VHLT v34
rocket_frenzy.bsp - J.A.C.K. 1.1.1064, VHLT v34
01-02-2024 at 6:04 PM
I'm guessing TrenchBroom and JACK which still receive updates are preferred by the community.

map this 50 maps limit annoys me
01-25-2024 at 3:33 AM
disable it

You can still download after reaching the limit.
Highlighting all the files & click "Download selection" underneeth does the trick smiley
Must say the download speed is greatly decreased though.
P.s.: I've noticed that even before the limit is reached. After the 25th download or so, the download speed suddenly is much slower.
Anyone else experiencing that?
01-27-2024 at 3:40 PM
My advice is to make a list of all the maps/resources you want to download in 1 session and sort them by size.
Start your download spree with the biggest filesizes & work your way down the list.
Reason is the reduced download speed afterwards.
01-27-2024 at 3:44 PM
I'm pretty sure that's a bug...
Why is there a limit in the first place if you can circumvent/bypass this restriction.
01-27-2024 at 3:48 PM
Ah yeah, by using the "Download selection" method, all the files are in 1 place inside the winzip so you have to manually create the folders, ( like "gfx/env", "maps", "models", etc ) and even maybe subfolders if required.
01-27-2024 at 3:58 PM
Best not to try to bypass the limit, it would be sad to lose 17buddies due to server costs.
01-27-2024 at 4:39 PM
I'm not mass downloading anymore.
And back in time when I was, I did not know this method either, so I was stuck with the limit as well & came back on another day.
01-27-2024 at 4:56 PM
Maybe Arkshine can solve this bug? I dunno if it's a complicated issue or not? I'm a total noob on that front.
Add check for IP when clicking "Download selection" in order to prevent the bypass...
So basically the same as the big red download button.
