RTCW Map Downloader

rtcwmapdownloader_08.zip —

Download

Description

RTCW doesn't support HTTP Downloads in-game. This is where this little application comes in handy. It's a lightweight tool, written in .NET that automatically closes down the game, downloads the map from HTTP and then reconnects you to the server you were playing on.

It works on all versions of RTCW, including 1.0, 1.33 and 1.4, as long as the in-game download system is enabled on both client and server.

================================
Version: 0.8
Date:    December, 5 2008
Site:    http://www.breezie.be/rtcw/mapdownloader
Contact: [email protected]
================================

What?:
This is an application that works together with the game 'Return to Castle Wolfenstein'.
It automatically downloads missing custom maps for the game.


Why?:
Unfortunately RTCW does not support HTTP downloads.
Downloading maps at 12kb/s takes way too much time.
Thats where this app. comes in handy.


How?:
1. Open the EXE file.
2. An icon will appear in your tray.
3. If a map is missing, RTCW will be shut down, the map will be downloaded and RTCW will restart.


Requirements:
   - RTCW (1.0, 1.33 or 1.4)
   - .NET Framework 2.0
   - Downloads must be enabled on both client and server (sv_allowdownload 1 & cl_allowdownload 1)

Notes:
   - You can view a list of supported maps on the website. You can also add maps and download URL's.
