this has nothing to do with blocking cheaters but...
Is it possible to also make renguard check if the client is missing any of the maps in rotation on the server? and send a message to the client informing them? and possibly direct them to a site with the map so they can download it?
this would help on servers that play a lot of fan maps and empty out when the fan map begins

I have tried to run some fan maps and have since taken them all off due to the server emptying when the map comes up. I have even posted instructions on what to do and where to get the maps and the server still empties?

Auto download won'r work right and will still take a long time. If you are thinking of getting it from the server whos whosting the game itself, then even worse idea because anyone downloading will lag up the game for everyone else.

If any auto-download took place, it wouldn't be from the server. It would be from a repository and we would certainly NOT be prejudiced against maps.
I'm the bawss.

And Rene has a bad habit of crashing if you try to play an installed map without restarting Renegade first....

just make it so that a message comes up that says, "You do not have all of the maps that are currenly in rotation in the server. Would you like to download these maps now?" because if people are on dial-up it will take them a fr3aking long time to download.
w00t?
