Auto-Map Downloader [FINISHED] Need Management

Post by GiffE1118 »

im finished!!!

Its all set. and ready for use by the public.
but i cant get it to be fully used on my own.

I need some1 to help with a custom website
and people to manage it with me.
it needs to be advertised. and brought to clans that want custom map servers. i think clans and server regulars would get the most use of it.
we need a name for it too.

basically i need a team of ppl to work with me.

add me to msn if your with me.

heres the link to download:
http://95thdivision.clanservers.com/Gif ... nstall.exe

Please contact me i dont want all this work going to waste because of no help.

Heres the Discussion at modtheater
http://www.modtheater.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27413



How it works:

-user selects and connects to a server.
-program then gets the map list parses out every map, and checks if its custom.
-program gets the filenam that corresponse with the mapname via xml reader
-program checks if the custom map file is already located in the /main or /mainta or watever,
-if the client does not have the custom map it downloads the map and installs it.
-it then checks the nextmap on the maplist and repeats the process
-after all maps are downloaded, the game is started and the client connects to the server.

it will be the same way for mods. except with a mods list cvar the server must 'sets'

i chose to do it all with my own file server because then i can control the files. and keep currupt ones off. a site will be made custom by me with this for admins to add their server to the list and for modders to submit their maps/mods to be added to the archive.
a large download section aswell with every map/mod on the file server, for admins to get the serverfiles and players in general to get the files.

If i can get this off the ground then your maps are more likely
to be played.

now im going to put some screenshots of the tool

i have 2 things.

1. the install in proggys list has only uninstall? think u need to compile a new installer;)

2. WHy are you installing to EA games folder?

3. WHy did u not look for the game, or ask for the path ? not everyone has it installed in ea games folder, on c, in programme files, mine if on f, i dunno why, i decided to put every file on f, programmes on c, so i can take hdd out and move it somewhere..as if.. anyway.
