Download custom maps automatically- MapDownload(er!)

Post by **Rookie One.pl** » Thu May 25, 2006 6:49 am

Trooper has developed another custom map downloader:

What is MapDownload(er!) - well, the name kind of gives a hint. MapDownload(er!) is a client side program that allows a user to download maps for supported online games from a large external download server. It runs from popular, widely used game server browsers like the All-Seeing eye, Xfire and Gamespy - when you join a server with one of the above programs, MapDownload(er!) will launch and get your custom maps for you.

Yeah, but what does it mean? - No more searching for custom maps! You will automatically download required custom maps before you enter the server!

What if the maps I need can't be found on the download server? - Maps are allways being added to the download server, however if the map you are looking for can't be found, you can request it be added to the download server by posting in this section http://mapdownloads.co.uk/viewforum.php?f=5

So, what do I need? - You must have the .net framework version 1.1 or higher installed, a supported game and a supported game browser installed. See http://mapdownloads.co.uk/help for more details on requirements.

Do server admins have to do anything?
Nope! Players just have to download and install MapDownload(er!) and then connect to thier favourite servers as normall.

Key features
- Download the Custom Maps you need before you join a server running custom maps when you connect with supported game server browsers
- Support for the following game browsers: All-Seeing Eye, Xfire and Gamespy Arcade
- Over 600+ maps for medal of honor available to download
- Easy to use config tool allows you to setup MapDownload(er!) in under a minute
- Small n' fast!
- Open source- adware/mallware/etc. free

How does the customspy one compare to this? pros cons? Havent tried them yet. I would like something that loads from my own site. Does either do that ?

CustomSpy just doesn't work for me somehow.

It's more flexible, though.

Well, like i was asking - it would be good to be able to have something with the ablility to load from my own site. Does either program do that?

If you read the CustomSpy news, you would know that yes.

Awesome idea, and it looks great. I wish this was available when Mohaa was still at its height of popularity, because it would have definitely made custom map servers more popular and accesible to other players.

I'm definitely going to check this out and support it. Keep up the good work!
