Today, RGN and FPSAdmin are taking a stand against the broken HTTP Redirect:
Request to Custom content creators and server admins!
Since the http redirect is broken and the fs_ game path is still very obscure to all, FPSadmin and RGN are recommending that you do not publish or host custom maps and or mods until Treyarch releases detailed information on the correct methods of implementation ofr use of maps and mods.
Or, until we have a handle on the ramifications (including any Punkbuster issues) that might arise from improperly distributing maps and mods through the game using the fs_LocalAppData dvar (which, Treyarch officially advises against).
Currently we are unable to correctly implement the fs_game path to ensure we do not corrupt the end users (clients) MultiPlayer experience. Please note: the fs_game path was correctly implemented in Call of Duty 4 so you would not have a client with custom attributes from one mod affecting another and vice versa.
We urge all mappers and modders to hold off releasing your work. We are not saying "Stop" your project, just hold off releasing them until we get a handle on how this will effect the client side of the game.
We're also urging all server admins not to host any type of custom maps or mods until Treyarch fixes this mistake or we find a suitable means to offer the correct way to implement these types of things.
Please, we (the community) need your help in this matter. If you start rolling out custom content under the currently broken system the chaotic end result could be particularly crippling for the end user.
We can also expect support nightmares for the content creators themselves which wastes their valuable modding and mapping time. There are too many unknowns at this time to take a chance.
Stay strong and get your mods and maps polished to perfection. When Treyarch finally comes to us with a cure (hopefully soon) perhaps then we will all be able to enjoy this excellent game to its fullest potential.
