Topic: 4.0 question: maps

will 4.0 or any version after that allow you to use maps without having to find them on the site, save them, then find a game that uses it/make a game and hope other people have it? it's frustrating knowing i can't really use many different maps and if i get one it's unlikely that i'll find a game for it.

Re: 4.0 question: maps

Well, in 0.4.0 there will be an autodownloader for maps you don't have from the server itself.
Until then, take a look at http://teewars.lan-corps.com or http://lan-corps.no-ip.org (both leads to the same place).

Used to be very active waay back

Re: 4.0 question: maps

Autodownloader sounds great, maybe in a temp folder though? Like nexuiz.

No, that is not me; it's just a figment of your imagination.

@nikoPSK
It will download (under Linux) to your ~/.teewars/maps/name_hash.map, at least as far as I know.

Correct.

Re: 4.0 question: maps

If i understood correctly the name will like "map-name-here_c4ca4238a0b923820dcc509a6f75849b.map" and will download map again and again everytime you joining the server?

Re: 4.0 question: maps

No, the hash is the hash of the file so that usermap.map (created by user A) and usermap.map (created by user B) doesn't collide.

Thanks lazy_bum, matricks. smile

No, that is not me; it's just a figment of your imagination.

Re: 4.0 question: maps

Does the autodownloader also apply to other game assets, like character skins?

I don't think so.

Re: 4.0 question: maps

Skinning is not officially supported at this time.

Re: 4.0 question: maps

Drick, what are you asking about? It would help if you added a quote. If you are asking if the autodownloader will download skins at future times, teewars is cross operating system, so the answer would be yes.

No, that is not me; it's just a figment of your imagination.

3 DM Maps
3 TDM Maps
3 CTF Maps
3 Race Maps

Re: 4.0 question: maps

hmm... I want to give my downloaded maps to a friend but I cant find the downloaded maps. there are only the standard maps in the /teeworlds/data/maps folder. I using windows if that will be important.

Use the batch file that we have supplied. That will take you to the directory containing downloaded maps, settings, screenshtos etc.
