IF we aresnt supposed to talk abotu this someone plztell me, i dotn want to be posting what i shouldnt...

These arent really posting spoilers like it would be to post about what is in the HL2 cahces since we pretty much all know what CS is, its not like nobody knows what the guns are and were leaking that type of info..

 

[AmishSlayer]

9 Maps? Bleh...there had better be updated versions of other maps such as siege, inferno, assault etc.

 

[Xcellere]

If the maps equal 100+ MB, where did they go in our folders?

BrownTown, how big if your GCF now with the 5th preload?

 

[BrownTown]

961meg

 

[cadaveca]

base source shared models also got larger. you wanna know what's inside? go look yourself.

 

[Wraithen]

I'm confused (nothing new there) Why is it that my download speed increases if I have the Steam Monitor selected? I thought I was going insane with premature sleep deprivation, so I actually tested it by switching with a small window at the side. You can watch that little bar chart thing go up and down exactly as I switch from the two. Ok... I should go to bed... but it's freaking me out :bounce:

 

[Xcellere]

Why is mine at 939 MB?

 

[BrownTown]

yeah, they add stuff liek that during alot of the preloads like when they have to update some models or sounds etc..

 

[operative x]

can someone stop preloading please? it says there servers are too busy...

 

[Aceallways]

personally, I decided not to pre-load. I have pre-ordered the game, and will get it slightly after everyone else, but without the hasle of downloading it. It isn't worth it in my opinion.

Wait 'til I'm done dammit!

the benefit of downloading it is there is no hassle(for those who have a decent connection). you just let it sit there.

 

[knowledg3]

how do you view the info in the .gcf's?

 

[Xcellere]

I don't get why mine is only 939 now.

 

[guise]

I don't get why mine is only 939 now.

does your steam say its 100% complete?

 

[Xcellere]

Yeah, it says it's complete.

what hastle? you click "preload," and it's done in a few hours/days. you don't ever have to look at it.

edit: this forums moves too fast.(

 

[poseyjmac]

itd be real nice of valve if they also released the SDK when CS:S was made available to play. give us modders something to do. or at least hammer

 

[Hyperion2010]

H4x1n4t3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[guise]

mines also 939 meg

when browsing in my computer it shows as 961,558 kb ... i think the other dude got confused.

 

[Xcellere]

EDIT: Found it. How do I find out how big each map is?

 

[operative x]

becuase they are compressed

 

[BrownTown]

ok, yeah its 939 meg when you hit properties

 

[operative x]

the new cs:s update is huge and it only fixes the voice communication! does it really take a huge update to fix a few lines of code? geez

 

[BrownTown]

I wonder if anyone with the CS:S beta has actually tested these maps to see what they look like.

 

[poseyjmac]

the maps are encrypted

 

[BrownTown]

you sure, none of the other stuff in this preload was encrypted...

 

[Navy Man]

i go to continue the 5th preload and it comes up validating then it just sits on 86% with continue instead of pause on ??

fix to this anyone?

Try restarting steam, I had the same thing happen at 99.0% it picked up again after I restarted.

 

[poseyjmac]

This will allow users to download the Counter-Strike: Source maps in encrypted form.

not to mention i took a look at a .txt file from one of the maps and it was garbled.

 

[BrownTown]

take a look at anything but those text files...

 

[UndeadScottsman]

Before people start hopping up and down proclaiming that HL2 is getting close; keep in mind that Valve seems ready to release CS: Source through Steam before HL2 even goes gold..

Nice compression on those maps though!
