Have you wanted to find a fast and simple way to distribute your map files, models, texture sets or modifications? STEAM presently does not support sections dedicated to third-party modification downloading on its network, which is where Vapour comes in. Vapour is run by the community as a fast and easy way to download modifications, levels, custom models and more! Presently, support is for:
* Half-Life2 Mods
* Half-Life2 Custom Maps
* Day of Defeat: Source Maps
* Doom3 Mods
* Quake3 Mods
* Quake4 Mods
* UT2004 Mods
With Battlefield 2, Half-Life 1 and Counter-Strike maps coming soon! If you r a level designer or modmaker who wants to get your work out into the hands of more people, people who can help you distribute your files further on a growing network: then stop by http://www.vapour-online.com and look around. With almost two dozen DM maps presently hosted, and a growing number of DoD:S (after its addition only recently), your map will be able to be downloaded by over 3000 members since its release in Sept 2005.
In addition to that, expect the following features:
Play Mods - Mods that you already have installed with be automatically detected. Just double click to launch!
Install new mods and maps - You can browse new mods and maps online and automatically install them with one click!
Update existing mods and maps - You can automatically download updates for the mods that you have installed without having to wait in download lines or hunt around for a site that doesn't require your first-born to let you download files.
Find servers to play on - You can get a list of servers running a particular mod, and double clicking on one will automatically connect you.
Chat with players - Chat with other players about the game you're playing, organize a pick up, swap strategies, or challenge them to a match!
