BF2 Auto Map Downloader Released

[DMC]

<a href="http://erik.er.funpic.org/bfdl/">BF2 Auto Map Downloader</a> looks like a very nifty piece of software. It will automatically download the custom map that a server is running and then launch the game and connect to the server you chose. As with all software in an early stage there's a few bugs to fix, but it's worth keeping an eye on, this could revolutionize custom-map play.<blockquote>The program is very simple to use, works with Punkbuster and does not make the loading times longer if you already have the map. To find servers you can not use the in-game browser (why would anyone want to do that anyway?) You will have to use The All Seeing Eye unless you want to enter the IP by yourself.</blockquote>Check out <a href="http://erik.er.funpic.org/bfdl/">their site</a>.

Remember the server needs to be running the Auto Map Downloader too.

Re: BF2 Auto Map Downloader Released

im guessing not many servers are using auto map downloader right now, so hang tight, maybe my clan's will start running it, our mappers are working hard:-)

Re: BF2 Auto Map Downloader Released

how does the program know where to get the files/map from?

Re: BF2 Auto Map Downloader Released

im guessing the server, while running auto download too, specifies a ftp url where the program will download it from. just a guess, someone can confirm/deny this
