I actually was reconsidering my decision and thinking of coming back during the last weeks, but I need to speak to Hitman first.
I know what's wrong with the redirect, but I can't fix it unfortunately. To put it simple, the whole redirect is gone, the server is now running without redirection (you can guess why). Me and Rei were trying to find an alternative redirect and we planned to discuss about that during this weekend.
Here are the possible alternatives that came to my mind:
1 -
GameServers Redirection Service
Pros: no need for compressing every single file, no need for uploading them
Cons: you have to pay for it, plus AFAIK the first time you download a package and/or map it will be downloaded slowly, and only from the second time it will be downloaded fast (kinda useless IMO, specially since you have to pay for it)
2 -
Public Redirect
Pros: it's free
Cons: shared among many users, possible corrupted files and mismatches, you have to compress all files and upload them on your own
The only public redirect I know is here:
http://news.ut-files.com/redirect/
3 -
Third Party Redirect
This should be considered as a last resort, it means we need to find someone who will be willing to offer us some Web Space for free to host all compressed files, and of course compress all the files first.
One more thing: if we decide for either option #2 or #3 we need to find someone with a decent upload speed cause mine is only 400 Kbit/s.
If you have any ideas or suggestions, please let me know. I'd personally pick option #1, but it's not me who's paying for the server.
I now wonder what redirect Fuzz is using, since his server seems to be working fine.
