Oblivion. I'm just setting up a MySQL database to manage all the servers(map hosts) and maps.
How do you want me to setup the output? I can set it up like RenGuard has for their online users script.(you go to a link like site.com/ren_maps.php?name=$mapname)
or I can simply setup the database and you could connect to it via ODBC.
Do you want me to setup a database? If so I would suggest the first option to output the data. Then other programs can use it aswell. If I did the first way you wouldn't have to deal with any database stuff either. It would just be a matter of selecting information off a white webpage.

I just finished the basic format for the "backbone".
Heres what the protocol is:
http://www.generation-x.ca/ren_maps/getdata.php?filename=(filename of map)
http://www.generation-x.ca/ren_maps/getdata.php?id=(map ID in database)
http://www.generation-x.ca/ren_maps/getdata.php?server=(server/host's name)
http://www.generation-x.ca/ren_maps/getdata.php?serverid=(server id in DB)
I have inserted one row in the database just for testing.
Maps:
filename=text.mix
id=1
Servers:
server=web dummy is
serverid=1
you can only insert one at a time. If you insert more than one protocol extension at once then the first entry will be requested.
Server remarks have #'s infront of them such as #error : Could Not Connect To Database. All actual map and server information from the database are displayed as @variable:data
I did this in about a half an hour so it only has basic protection right now. I will upgrade the security of it later if you like it.
I can make any changes you want aswell. I have not yet got around to creating a password protected area so you(oblivion) can upload maps to multiple servers automatically and it will also update the DB so everything is instanly updated.

Here is a BETA and i do mean BETA.
Features missing/to be fixed:
Crash is Config.ini isnt present.
How many maps have already been downloaded\Left
Delete temporary directory.
Check for WinRar.exe in process so that it will do the extractor on its own.
Fix the requesting file hold up.
(sometimes it says requesting file and never gets it, in this case simply stop the downloads ~ goto the temp directory ~ look at the last map downloaded (Its in alphabetical) ~ delete it, then start the downlaods again starting with that one.)
http://www.file.oblivionabre.com/Map_Install.rar
Use at your own risk, blah blah blah.

RenGuard Client is coded in pure C, no MFC shit.

What I was thinking was having just a tab at the top of the program(under the main banner). Have a tab for Map Downloader and one for Map Manager.
I was also thinking, why not put a small banner on it? to the left of the map list, above the install now, and blow the dir selecter. Theres a place there that could probably fit a 250 by 150 banner. I could add a feature into the php backbone to include a map rotator as well. Then every time the program is loaded a new banner is selected.

I'm not sure what the main language in RenGuard is
|
it was coded in C... you can still buy C books, so get your hands on one pronto.

Oblivian, when you are finished, I would be happy to host the map installer on my site. I would also be happy to "spread the word" for you too.
