digital , it would be 1 of the biggest and best things for persons who still love the game.
Atm its like you want to join a DM server like micro faction and you cant...cause u dont have the maps then u have to go to win again and dl them , unrar put em to multi and then get back to game , its just a waste of time if you ask me. |

Yea... I agree. Nevertheless - We're about 99% sure that the autodownloader will be in RFCL. We already have a working autodownloader embedded in our new game "Sphere"  |

RFCL - Our league. www.rfcl.co.nr
New game is Sphere... It's kind of still in Beta. We'll probably release some more news on that sometime later.
This thread is about Pure Faction... Let's talk about that, not Sphere... |

Welcome!

One thing I've noticed in Red Faction is the maximum number of maps the system can handle is around 227 or so; if you have more maps in your map directory, the ones that are alphabetically towards the end will not be accessible,whether you are running a server or a client. Yeah, I know, I need to clear out the junk maps... still, if Pure Faction could solve this problem, that would be great, especially if there will be an auto-downloader for maps integrated into it. |

To eliminate this problem you better user mappacks , u can have 227 orso mappacks and every mappack can contain as much levels as you want. |

There is still a limit for the amount of maps you can have via mappacks, but the limit is much greater than just the normal map vpps.
However the 227 number you quoted is not exactly true, the limit for vpps/maps is not a set figure, it seems to be dependent on your system, I know someone who could have only about 2/3rds of the maps I had when my directory was "full".
If it was a hardest limit, and if it is around 227, I would hazard a guess at it would be 255, this would be due to the way it would be handled by a single byte of data. |
Trying to find old players. Anyone about? Drop me a PM or reply to this thread:

So when is the expected due date for this Pure Faction and will it also have a Ban feature such as lazyban built into it.
Also will it have a ip check feature like lazyban 1.2 does. |

What is this CENSORED 
Come on, you said it takes 2 minutes to fix. Why don't you just tell the 8series users how to do it so we can do it ourselves, I promise they will also download Pure Faction 
Getting Pure Faction should not only be basing on the reason: "RF isnt playable without it"
But it surely is a good strategic way  |

The limit VPP = 249 But as Lunatic said , if each VPP contains like 10 levels you would
have 2249 levels ( maps ) , but it should not be over arround 2.2 gigabite total. Erm back to topic....

allowing ui mods is just asking for trouble... Don't allow it. |
