I am curious. I have a custom map server and we like to constantly check out new maps to keep the game fresh. Maps can generally use a lot of the same models so when you delete maps, you don't always delete the additional files. Over time it adds up and since we have all maps on Fast D/L, we are running close to our 2000MB limit.
Is additional webspace available?
Is so, how much is it?
How can I get it?
Thank you for your time!
Can you get additional webspace?

Keep in mind that you can't go over the 2 GB limit on the gameserver as explained here in the TOS. I bet there are some unused maps that could be deleted.kitten wrote:They are all map related files.
I don't host anything major and there are no 40MB files on the webspace.
Guess I may need an alternate storage somewhere else. Thank you for your time.

Ya, I am deleting some and putting them aside so if I want to add them again I can easily do so.Nick|NFo wrote:Keep in mind that you can't go over the 2 GB limit on the gameserver as explained here in the TOS.

My concern is fast download space. Not server space but thank you for the info.
It is not hard when you have 200-300 maps. 90% get played too. Everyone has a favorite so it is hard to decided what to remove.Tassadarmaster wrote:WOW, 2GB, that's a lot, i doubt anybody could have their maps folder filled up with 2GB of maps.
Most of our community is tired of the standard maps so we play a large variety of customs to keep the game fresh. Obviously we don't play them all every night but we do have phases where we play a series of maps and the next night we play a different series of maps. Having everything on fast download is a great feature and new people can join anytime without having to worry about 7-10 minute downloads. Most all our maps d/l in less than 60 seconds.

What about the maps preloaded on the server. I can only add them to the mapstoban.ini so they don't get played. I can't delete them. So are they included in the server storage or are they considered separate?
