Could however prove difficult with different files with the same name. Say NS wants EpicRenMap.mix on the server and Jelly wants EpicRenMap.mix on the server as well, but both changed tiny details without changing the name. Good luck with fixing that...

Then that is a problem that people will experience no matter how the files are hosted. Can't really get around that unless you match file sizes or something. There should be a system in place where people can upload maps to the CDN through a website, and have a PHP script manage what maps are being uploaded to the CDN and ensure there isn't duplicate names being uploaded. Then with the TT Downloader perhaps it can look at the size of the clients' map and compare it to the size that is stored on the CDN/website. If it's different, just download it.

File names wouldn't be likely to cause problems, since files get stored based on file hashes.

A CDN would be cool. If it works transparently with HTTP it can be used easily.

Yes it works with HTTP. Everything can be accessed at http://ttdownloader.domain.com/somedumbmap.mix

It should work with any webhost, so if say game-maps.net has the .mix or whatever uncompressed on their webserver, the game will download it. Either way, whether you download from the server or from a different server doesn't matter as it will need a separate process (like apache) to be made available, which means it will take none of the (singlethreaded) renegade thread.

I will update game-maps with a public ttfs filesystem with the files for all of the custom maps that renegade has to offer.
People can contact me if they want their maps added.

For example the location will be http://ren.game-maps.net/ttfs or on http://downloads.cncfps.com/ttfs
people would enter that location in their config files and the rest comes naturally Smile

Smile

*edit*: I uploaded all files from ubermappack now to this ttfs repository.

For those curious about the downloader, you can always try Red Alert A Path Beyond Gamma ( download on http://apathbeyond.com ) which has the system in place already.

Try delete your ttfs folder and reconnect to the server.

the dling the maps off your server and then loading them went really smooth Thumbs Up

Thumbs Up

if you place the whole ubermappack in the ttfs, does it mean ALL the maps get downloaded?

It will only download the maps you need for the server you are joining. So if you join a server with 3 fanmaps, it will download those 3 fanmaps.

Not to get confused:

Your client will download maps on damand. So only the map the server is
currently running will be downloaded when you join.
When the next custom map is loaded, then your client will download
that one as well. It will not download all 3 custom maps when you
first join the server.

I think that should be clear now Smile

The TTFS isn't meant to be used like that. It's a filesystem with maps you needed to play on a server.
Creating a TTFS with the ubermappack in it is a waste of space for clients, as you can just as easily download them on demand. The only reason why one would want this is because he got a _VERY_ slow connection, and this way he wouldn't have to wait in game.

I've had the pure virtual function call triggered happen on me a few times too while playing APB, but not during the resource downloading.
