Server Release

[:)]

I was thinking it might be a good idea to make a smaller release intended for dedicated servers.
Without the textures and sounds, I'm guessing the download size would be much smaller, which would facilitate the creation of more servers.

I've just had a poke at this and got to under 90Mb with dedicated servers for all platforms. Are the OSX .app directories required? If not there's another 5Mb.

I think that's an excellent idea.

mkzelda was working on this. He has a few gametype versions... really lightweight. I'm not sure of the current status.

Nah, Dave was talking about a light dedicated server.

It indeed doesn't need textures to work... The bsp, the shaders???, the config files, that's enough. Isn't it?

So was I? I'll toss a link to this thread his way.

I had done this before with 2.3. I made a common data pack and then individual packs for 1v1 mappool, 2v2, 3v3, nexrun and more. I put this project on the back burner until 2.4 was released but I got sidetracked with all the other things like mapinfos, md5sums, q3 entities and such. I was also waiting 2.4.1 so I wouldnt have to deal with the changes immediately after fixing the pack again. I know that with 2.3 I had it around ~30mb for the core plus 1v1,2v2,3v3 ladder mappool.

Any updates on this? I think I'd like it very much -- though I may take a stab at putting one together myself.
