Auto-Download

Open codemasher opened this issue 7 years ago • 0 comments

Just for the record: i'm well aware that enabling auto-download is a security risk. It's just that this is one of the major things that keep people from playing, since most of the available servers run a bunch of community made maps.

There are a couple of possible solutions, some of which we've discussed in discord recently were:

  • provide a secure download source and set sv_dlurl to this by default, enable auto-download. potential risks:
    • user changes sv_dlurl: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
    • malicious download source: you have other problems
  • create a community map pack, don't enable auto-dl. forseeable problems:
    • people need to find/download/install the map pack
    • the map pack will never be complete
    • permission from the mappers (gotta catch 'em all!)
  • discuss!
