Automatic map downloading

Postby tr3v » Oct 1st, '14, 4:47 pm

Hey guys

I've seen that it's possible to have automatic map downloading when you join a server that is playing a map you don't have. My problem is I don't know how to make this work. If I don't have the map, it will freeze on the download screen and then just quit to main menu. Anyone know why this is?

Question 3:

Q3: Why does it not auto download the map when I connect to the server?
For some time the worldspawn map database has a new URL http://ws.q3df.org. It used to be "q3a.ath.cx" but that is in the past now. That provider stopped forwarding the domain to our servers. That's why it now can only be accessed via http://ws.q3df.org or its new name http://www.worldspawn.org/.
Unfortunately that affects the auto download feature of dfengine and iodfe, too. To continue downloading maps you have to change the dl_source cvar. set it to
/cl_allowdownload 0
/cl_mapAutodownload 1
/dl_source "http://ws.q3df.org/getpk3bymapname.php/%m"

Also if the above post wasn't clear enough. You need either dfengine or iodfe. It won't work with the standard client.
