Auto download of maps?

[Gordon228]

here is my question. if you join a game and you do not have the map will it be auto downloaded? if not then i think thats a feature you guys need to implament.

You can auto-download it from the resource site.
Look for a "Install map" button below the preview.

thats not what i mean. if i join a game and i do not have the map it should auto download so i can play not have me looking at the repo just so i can play a game.

Autodownload would be nice, but the install works fine as well. If it works! Quite often the software keeps searcing, but never finds. Manually installing (by downloading it from resource.openra.net works fine, but takes time.

When the playtest is out I'll try to make a map-pack with commonly played maps so you can easily abtain most maps.

By the way: will the playtest change mapmaking or will it have other effects on map? I did read something about different gemmines?

I think you should have to say whether you want to download something or not.

The system in place now only takes a second anyway. (When it's working correctly.)
