General Chat / Re: Assist moving to 2.8.5?
« on: Saturday, May 04, 2013, 19:31:02 PM »How did/does 2.8.5 handle maps?
Does the client download the new map or how was it handled?
If it downloaded, was it from the server or was from some type of deposit?
Back on the 2.8.5 client there was a DCDS (dubbed for Dynamic Content Delivery System), basically a deposit of official maps + fully mission capable ones i think (you were able to download the mission through the game client). "Fully Mission Capable" was the way approved custom made mission were labelled, cause once there used to be a Mission Depot for custom made maps(probably someone will remember about) , which you could release and potentially getting them reviewed by the mission depot staff. It went offline a little before the authorization and tracking servers (late 2011), there was a ton of custom material.

i haven't played Quakelive (just a couple times), i used to play Unreal tournament 2004. So much sweet custom content (mods, maps, completely new games like Red Orchestra and Killing Floor which were born as UT2K4 mods).
