<br>
Since the admins handle most of the costs of bandwidth, how about admin's
creating a consensus driven map pack. Pick a target size, and put enough
maps in it to satisfy that volume. Update it based on interest with a new
version (this satisfies those who's fav's aren't picked 1st). Maybe do a
tag in the server's id line, ala mohaa and ckr1.1?<br>

Subject: [cod] 1.3 patch the good and bad - iwd check sum will not be fixed.<br>
<br>
Just wanted to bring this to all of the admins here, which should be all of<br>
you ;)<br>
<br>
IW has stated that the only fixes 1.3 will address are<br>
- Gamestate<br>
- PB Guid issue<br>
These are the only two things this new patch will address. <br>
<br>
The official IW spokesperson, 402 has stated the following in regards to iwd<br>
check sum issue.<br>
<br>
"As I stated, we will be unable to release a fix for this issue, which is<br>
why this is a 'work-around' and not a fix.<br>
<br>
It is not meant as a fix, but is the alternative and answer to not getting<br>
the IWD checksum error.<br>
<br>
To answer Freeman's question. This means that we will be unable to fix this<br>
issue."<br>
<br>
The work-around 402 speaks of is combining all custom iwd map files into one<br>
"map pack".<br>
<br>
Ryan any comment on how this will effect the Linux 1.3 patch and is it<br>
possible for you to do some magic with these Linux bins?<br>
<br>
Sorry to be the messenger of bad news, just wanted to let everyone know what<br>
is going on.<br>
