I am looking into running other maps for my players and I've often wondered the reasons behind not having the map content included in the server, like Sauerland, for a map like Lingor Island or Namalsk.
For those of you that know, Sauerland requires no additional downloads by the end user. They download dayz_epoch through dayz commander or SiX and it 'just works'. But when it comes to Lingor Island or Namalsk, you have to faff around and include other launch parameters pointing to content you've downloaded yourself. I find this to be a pain as I feel we're losing a lot of new players by choosing a map that's seen as 'difficult' to play on.
Can anyone offer me an explanation as to why these maps cannot be included server side and put me out of my misery? I'm sure there must be a valid reason.
