Not working on Firefox 20.0.1
Archlinux 64

Will try again on my desktop when I'm home tomorrow and install Chrome if necessary.

Funky preview!

I clicked http://dvi.sr/_get-sm2 and it automatically downloaded... but to where?

-edit: Let's simplify.

This is not a traditional download. The data you received is a glob that will be processed into a map file. It's the difference between Kazaa and Steam: one platform is free access to data objects, the other is a managed content portal. This trial is like the latter of the two.

Makes more sense?

I think the question is.
I just Downloaded a 40+ meg file. Where the F did it DL to on my computer?

"where" is irrelevant. At least for this trial. The browser holds this data as cache.

It appears you have to get the Chrome add on to see any files downloaded (eventually). When I went to the Chrome site, it said that this add on would allow browser tracking. I'm not exactly comfortable with that. Will it still work somehow without the add on?

There's no reason for any sort of browser tracking. I checked out HTML5 Filesystem Explorer, and didn't find any mention of tracking. The function of the extension gives a user awareness of what "large data" a site has stored that the user has given express permissions to store. If you still don't want to use the extension, it's completely not necessary. Our file manager gives you the ability to remove those stored files.

Just checking in to say that /dvisor works on OS X 10.6.8 + Chrome (Safari not so much but that might be caused by some no-script add-ons)

And the new version of the map is freakin' AWESOME!

Well, there goes my productivity for the next days :)
...now back to exploring new jumps.

cheers

Wily,

you want the map hosted on a server or for client use only?

I downloaded the two parts, and left my computer for a while during the second download, but it didn't seem to 'combine' the two? So I cannot find it anywhere on my pc. And the link no longer works now... will it be available again?

This is what I get when Google asks me to confirm the installation for the add on...

From what I can tell the Chrome extension is optional. You don't need it to download the map. Once you'll click on the key link the the pk3-file will be generated in your browser and you'll get a download link on that same page. Just follow that link to download the map and put the file in your UrT maps folder.

Until we got a server with the new map just type "/devmap ut4_superman2_beta" in console to run the map locally. Enjoy.

cheers

Ah gotcha Boogie. This is Google's informative attempt to keep you in the loop and openly classify code functions, when third party code uses a capability may fall within a pre-defined category. In this situation, because HTML5 Filesystem Explorer CAN access, because it's supposed to access, your browser cache, Google is generally informing you that if in fact you're downloading an extension that you did not expect to have this kind of function, now's the time to know - not later.

Honestly, I wish Google would incorporate the ability to give power to the user and toggle execution of code per category. Like an app that has no business accessing if you're using your phone for calls because it's tracking you for marketing purposes - toggle that network code off. We'll get there.

Thanks for the heads up Boogie - I assure you this is a false alarm.

If for some reason you ran into a problem:
1. Go back to the page.
2. Use "Manage and view persistent files".
3. Delete both temporary and persistent files.
4. Return to the original distribution page and you'll automatically get the file again.

When completed, you'll be presented with a link that looks like:
filesystem:http://prime.dvi.sr/persistent/ut4_superman2_beta.pk3

Which is a hyperlink reference to a new pk3 file that now exists within your local browser cache, as part of a Browser File System /dvisor has created.

You may want to look in your Browsers "TOOLS" tab and find where your downloads default to. Depending on your browser it most likely will be defaulted to your "DOWNLOADS" folder. In Chrome at the top far right there are 3 horizontal lines, left click those and look at your DOWNLOADS from there. If you used Firefox click "TOOLS" then "options" then "general" you will see your default downloads folder there.

Well I got the file without bothering with the add on, but cant run it (according to MT's method).
I get a parse error.

Don't use /devmap, use /map

I autodownloaded the map at sm.fsk405.com and have played a few hours.
Its a beautifull map, thanks so much.

WOW! It's everything I imagined and then some! Love the Fokker Vision. Hehe, I think I was in BanMe's bedroom. Slippery floor there. Haven't figured out the new boost on the highway. I thought it was supposed to take you to Helicopter? Wish you had been able to keep some of those buildings along the edge that we made to dress up the edge. Too huge?
In case anyone else is having trouble loading it...I found that you might have to type /sv_pure 0 and THEN load the map.

The arrow from the billboard takes you up to the helicopter, Boogs.

Some 12 hours have passed since I played on the new map and I must say, my heart still flutters a little when I recall the experience. It's like when you get a new girlfriend...all tingly and shit. Thanks Wily!

Wow. I thought superman had died. I get back from a couple of months in the USA and suddenly there's a new Superman. Might have to start playing again.

Thanks Wily!

I haven't been playing URT much lately and there have been too few on superman when I have looked. Really stoked that there is new life in superman.
