Im working on a program that downloads and automatically installs the maps you want. You dont have to touch a thing, just select the maps you want and hit start.
The only restrictions for the users is that he/she must have WinRar (Trial is fine), and HD space.
I am waiting for Glydes approval to use his site as the download host, so i dont know if the Trielite stuff is the final word. But of course it will have it on there is he agrees.
Anyway, ill keep you posted.

All I can do is the background image for the interface mind you. I can't do the programming or anything like that.

Why is this program useful? It looks to me like a web application coded in visual basic or something, and its only real useful bit is the downloading all maps at once which somebody else has already hosted on maps.darev.co.uk as well as scattered around on tons of other sites. you don't need to install the maps for people, they can do it theirselves.
Why not just combine all your maps into a .rar and do it the old fashioned way; or better yet direct them to http://maps.darev.co.uk and let them download the maps they want?? unless the host of the darev website (which holds just about every renegade map available) has little bandwidth there is no use for a program that downloads and installs the maps. BUT, I think you should complete the program for experiences' sake.

Its there, so people like me can download them and not have to mess with anything. Like i want to hand-select all those downloads. Link Click ~ save ~ dir to save to ~ rightclick extract ~ move to "c:\westwood\renegade\data" repeat 140+ times.
Hell no, Click ~ Start. Done.
Oh and dont forget, this technology could make it possible to have your maps auto download to other people. Maybe a RenGaurd plug.

Let me guess, it's either plain VB or some .Net shit.
|
Vb6, im not fluent enough with C++ to do this project in it. But the plugin i have in mind will be C++, that is if rengaurd is.

I have a lot of extra bandwidth and space on an old hosting account of mine. Its hosting a site that I never really use anymore.
I can host quite a few maps if you want.
I could also design you a backend MySQL database with map names and what server they can be found on. Then on your program you could connect with ODBC I think it is and get a more easily maintainable list of maps. I would be able to rig up a php page for you to so you could add new maps.

I'm sure that if it WAS coded in VB, then no doubt some idiot would have by now, decompiled it, and found some way around it by now.
I'm not sure what the main language in RenGuard is, but I know theres some ASM in there somewhere. As well as Anti-SoftIce or something. I'd like to see one of the EAX idiots get past that.
