Hello, as you can know, in CSGO you must set (for example) -maxdownloadfilesizemb 300 in your client launch option to allow your game to download a map bigger than 150 mb from a community server. Is there a way to make a simple plugin that can avoid this, so players won't need to set that command in the launch options anymore?

I think this could be useful for a lot of servers, thanks in advance.

*Edit: I know you can avoid this, uploading maps in my fastdl without bz2 compression, but that's not the idea xD

You might be able to download the file using socket dunno.

[NanoC]

Nevermind, I'm dumb. Can't make clients download anything using socket lol.

It's the only solution, if only want .bz2 maps on your download server...

So there's no solution to avoid that?

No.

- Do not bzip if the .bsp is larger than 150 MB (keep the .bsp, do NOT have both the .bz2 and .bsp!)

- Force your clients to raise the -maxdownloadfilesizemb setting manually.

Pretty much the options you have.

Considering things like Zip bomb and the fact that some systems will hang for a while (and perhaps some systems kill the application (e.g. CS:GO)), when decompressing large files, I highly doubt that Valve made it this way to piss you off.
