Custom Workshop Maps

Hello all,

We want to encourage mappers to create and upload their maps to workshop, here you will find help for custom map creators, servers operators that want to run custom maps and players who subscribe to custom maps.

Things you should know:

Currently maps have to be under 100mb in file size for workshop to accept them.
Mappers should be aware that they need to use the game's Workshop Create Client Modification in order to be able to submit a map. Generally any custom files should be packed into the .bsp file and the .bsp file must be loacted in bladesymphony\workshop\maps folder (you need to create the maps folder).
Only clients (players) can subscribe, server operators have to obtain the map from manual sources see below:
Server operators, can if they own a copy of the game subscribe using their client and then manually extract using GCFscape to extract the maps .bsp and associated files from the .VPK file in their bladesymphony\workshop_temp folder. It is worth noting that the .VPK file names use the same ID number of the steam workshop page URL, this will help you find the .VPK you are looking for easily. Extracted .bsp files go into your server's bladesymphony\berimbau\maps folder.
I'm trying to maintain a sv_downloadurl (fast download url database) for all custom maps, but given the nature of workshop and the fact mappers can update their maps through workshop, it can be difficult to keep uptodate. So please let me know of any issues.
This is the link to the list of maps on the URL[fastdl.punyhumangames.com] Server operators and clients downloading maps directly from this list will need to extract the .bsp files into your server\client bladesymphony\berimbau\maps folder (the files on the URL are compressed into bzip2 format).

Server Operators Please Note! If you wish to use the link you're welcome to but you need to only use this part of the link: http://fastdl.punyhumangames.com/bladesymphony/

Add to your server's bladesymphony\berimabu\server.cfg file:
sv_allowdownload 1 sv_allowupload 1 sv_downloadurl "http://fastdl.punyhumangames.com/bladesymphony/"

Also you will need to update your bladesymphony\berimbau\maplists.txt and mapcycle.txt with the names of any maps you add.
