• Hiding download map from server.
    2 replies, posted
On some servers I've seen that their custom map downloading on client partly (not .bsp file), but clients can also connect to server and see that they have this map, but they cannot start single game with it. How cud I hide my .bsp?
You can't hide your .bsp, it is required to be on the client to connect to the server successfully. Inserting malicious code to crash the game if the map is started in singleplayer is a bannable offense on the Steam Workshop.
what you CAN do is lock your .bsp and use some editing tricks so that it is harder for people to find vulnerabilities and exploits in your maps. For instance making so r_drawclipbrushes 2 don't actually reveal the clip surfaces. This wont prevent people from using the map, but will make it harder for people to break it and find exploits. Unfortunately I do not know much more about map making to elaborate on the topic.
