  • Check for textures

45 seconds and 2 clicks to install a custom map of 15Mb on the server!!

After the arrival of 17SMI, the worries of installing maps on a local machine were set for the common people.

Our FTP installation system does the same thing, but directly to a game server, via FTP.

Conceived and designed by 17's Buddies, this feature unique in the world has sometimes been imitated but never equaled !

This function (compatible with maps HL1, HL2 and all its mods) is accessible with one click from our downloads. Just to indicate the settings of your FTP server game and our script will extract the files in the map, directly on your game server using the FTP settings you have indicated.

The results are INCREDIBLE : The measurements showed a gain of speed until 50 times compared with a normal installation! For a map of 15Mb zipped, installation takes 45 seconds while with a traditional, must be close to 32 minutes!!

You can keep three servers favorites, selected from the top window from the dropdown menu. These three servers are by default, your game server, your web server using the variable sv_downloadurl (with or without bzip2) and a possible test server.

Note that even if your FTP login and pass you are requested to use this function, they are not stored in our databases to ensure the security of your data.

Hello guys!
Pls, re-upload "7300 Waypoints Podbot"? The link in forum is no longer downloadable.

was trying to upload de_basalt for csgo and wondering why it doesn't work, then I noticed the 150M file size limit...
07-27-2025 at 12:48 PM
Is it normal for a CSGO map to be larger than 150M?
08-16-2025 at 1:41 PM
Doesn't the steam workshop make 3rd party sites redundant for recent games?
08-16-2025 at 3:28 PM
@Arkshine: You're alive! smiley
Just a little remark: I've responded on the topic "advanced user" on the new forum some time ago.
Would you be so kind to take a look at it?
08-16-2025 at 3:30 PM
@Arkshine: de_basalt is a whooping 462M, it won't go down below 250M even with ultra compression, it uses a ton of models and has a large out of bounds area, it's not your normal CSGO map no, but it's an official map, its CS2 version is even larger reaching 2GB but that's irrelevant since the site doesn't have a CS2 category
08-20-2025 at 4:54 PM
@LiveWire: redundancy is what 3rd party sites are all about, unless you believe Steam will never go down and will never remove content, redundancy itself is not redundant
08-20-2025 at 4:58 PM
could archive.org be used for offsite backups?
08-21-2025 at 3:00 PM
Yeah, there's already many maps backed up at archive.org
08-22-2025 at 8:48 AM
As far as I recall, their team even backed up entire FilePlanet so it might be possible for 17B as well
