Hi all. I read somewhere that the srcds now supports gzip compression of maps and stuff. Is this correct?
Anyways, I have a map which is nearly 18mb in size uncompressed, but when compressed to a gzip it's only 2.6mb. For the sake of my users (and server bandwidth limit), having them download the gzipped version of the map would be a lot nicer than having to download the full 18mb of it. Is there any way I can make the server force them to download the .tar.gz version rather than the raw .map file?
Thanks,
