Server Operators have two options of map download servers.
The
}MG{MercenariesGuild and
the
Tremcentral.com Map Repository
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
}MG{MercenariesGuild Map Repo DirectionsKhalsa, the Operator of MercenariesGuild.net has said a number of times that server operators are welcome to point their tremulous server http downloads at
http://downloads.mercenariesguild.net (Which TJW's client would automatically point to
http://downloads.mercenariesguild.net/base)
If you run a mod server that doesn't run out of "base", then chances are it will still work as the web server accepts requests for most mod directories. If for some reason yours does not, let us know and we'll add that directory name.
If you want to view the maps in the repository, go to
http://downloads.mercenariesguild.net/maps/If any server operators or mappers have maps they'd like to have in the repository please let me know. If you notice any actual tremulous maps that are missing, let me know. Please restrict your requests to maps that have nodes/eggs in them and can actually be played in tremulous.
I can often be found on IRC, you can contact me through the mercenariesguild.net site or you can PM me through tremulous.net, or you can post in this thread
I'd also like to add that David of }MG{ has a script that downloads all of the maps for you linux users which I've included at the end of this post.
To take advantage of the
}MG{MercenariesGuild map repository on your server, add the following code to your server.cfg:
set sv_wwwDownload 1
sets sv_wwwBaseURL "http://downloads.mercenariesguild.net"
sets sv_dlURL "http://downloads.mercenariesguild.net"
and make sure to remove any other references to sv_wwwDownload, sv_wwwBaseURL, and sv_dlURL.
*Thanks Kevlarman for the clarification
And here we have Davids script:
#!/bin/bash
cd ~/.tremulous/base
wget http://mercenariesguild.net/base/ -c -nv -np -r -l1 -nd -nH -A*.pk3
wget http://mercenariesguild.net/base/md5.list &>/dev/null
md5sum -c ./md5.list

Tremcentral.com Map Repository InstructionsJust adding this (yes, I am a victim of interminable laziness!
) and I don't yet have explicit instructions in the format that the tremcentral folks want (haven't asked yet
) but for today,
here is a link to the thread that announced the creation of the repo.
To take advantage of the Tremcentral.com map repo on your server, add the following code to your server.cfg:
set cl_allowDownload 1
set cl_wwwDownload 1
set sv_wwwBaseURL "http://tremcentral.com"
set fs_game "base"
set sv_dlURL "http://tremcentral.com"
and make sure to remove any other references to sv_wwwDownload, sv_wwwBaseURL, and sv_dlURL.
